My daughter has been progressing in every area except vault. The coach wants to move her to the next level but can't seem to get her to handspring vault over the table. She has a good run but it doesn't seem to translate to the board. Unfortunately she has never had the opportunity to work with a head coach for vault, just high school age junior coaches. While these girls are great gymnasts and know how to do the skills I don't know how well they do at explaining the concept. The coach keeps wanting to push her to the next level but at the same time when I ask about privates on vault she keeps saying "don't worry she'll get it" and blowing me off. She can't even do the handstand flatback vault very well, highest score for that was a 9.2 and that was on a good day. So I guess my question is are their any instructional videos that explain what to do step by step that she could watch or could any coach explain it. Does she start driving her heels as soon as she jumps on the springboard? At what point does she reach for the mat? It's just frustrating because they keep acting like she's just going to wake up one day and do it but she doesn't understand the concept.
