    WAG Question on a rude coach?

    Hey guys, so last season I had the nicest coaches because the one I have now, "quit." Well she came back when the other coaches ended up leaving because of family issues.

    Standing Back?

    So today my coach wanted one of my teammates and I to go do standing backs off of the vault table into the pit. I am fine jumping and tucking and landing on my back, but when it comes to flipping it, I can't get myself to do it. So I moved to a lower edge, I still couldn't do it! I'm so mad at...

    Beam Mount Ideas?

    Hey guys, so as you all know I am an Intermediate Optional, so therefore I get to have my own beam routine. That being said I have always wanted my mount to be similar to Jordyn Wieber's, but one of the coaches doesn't like middle splits as a mount because of the common flexed feet/bent knee...

    Vault mental block?

    Hey, so last competition season I was a level 5 and I was one of the strongest vaulters on my team. After I got moved up, we were only working pit vault with a mini tramp.
