The bar release move thread got me wondering how they choose which release moves work best for which kids.
My dd is going into her level 9 season. She and two other teammates are doing Paks and everyone else on the team does bails. Now that she has her pak she is starting to work the bail as well because her coach wants her to have all the skills to choose from going forward. She also has a toe shoot in her routine.
She is also working drills for jaegers and tkatchevs and shaposh variants. Other team mates are working on totally different things, well some same and some different, you know. She says that each gymnast was given specific drills and skills to work on and it wasn't a try everything and see what sticks or goes well or badly situation.
So, I was just wondering what type of kid is a candidate for each of the release moves and how coaches go about choosing which ones for each kid.
