Ok so I had a backhandspring step out (flick) back tuck connection on beam. It seemed pretty good, I could do it on the competition beam without nerves or fear. Then my coach had me start flicks layout step out on the extender beam. I had to do these almost everyday. My coach said that this was a must for level 10 and that no more flick back tucks! So I suddenly had to start working flick layouts on the low beam and slowly got up to doing it on the high beam. The thing is, it's very inconsistent. I fall on more than half and I get very nervous when I have to do them. Like I go for it but i get nervous and I have to really focus. Plus I fall on most of them (no bad falls though).
I know that flick lay is worth the same as flick tuck, so why was it a MUST? What was the point of learning a whole new series, going on the low beam again, ect. And it's so inconsisntant that wouldn't it have been better to just stick with the other consistent series? Plus the fact that flick lays make me nervous and jittery...
So what's the point? And was it worth it to switch? And do you agree with my coach?
