DD is level 7 gymnast and lacks that basic fundamental ability to hold a handstand. How did this happen? She can hold for about 10 seconds but then begins to walk it. Her age is important here. She's 10, and says she understands the concept of using her core and her legs to hold it when she starts to fall but that she just can't put all the concepts in place to keep from falling. I'm not so sure she really comprehends all that comes into play. I think she thinks she just needs to use her arms.
Are there any drills that can be recommended to help her with this at home? Obviously by this time in her career, she's not spending much time on handstands at the gym so she's working on them at home and becoming very frustrated.
Thanks!
