illustrating “set” in Gymnastics

I do love the graphics in this software.

HERE we can show gymnasts examples of leaving the floor or apparatus fully stretched.

YES, you only need to show that stretch until leaving the floor / apparatus — but a little bit of exaggeration could help the gymnast understand more quickly.

Bars Shoot-over progression

Oddly called a “Bail” in the USA, one of the most over-spotted skills.

Do more progressions. Spot less. Teach gymnasts what to do when something goes wrong on regrasp. That should increase confidence.

Click PLAY or watch a good start on YouTube. This gymnast is not (yet) depending on a coach to show-up.
