My DD is an 11 1/2 year old gymmie who is struggling getting a cast of any sort out of her kip. Is this something that could be related to her being older already or being height related? She's actually average height for her age at 4 ft 9, but 3 of those inches have come very recently. She is also not struggling with weight...she's pretty average to maybe a bit skinnier than average. Is this just something that is going to take time? Or is there a quicker fix for this? I'm sure a video would help, but alas, I don't have one. Just tossing this out there. And yes, I will leave it to her coaches as I am sure they are working it with her and likely just as frustrated with her not getting this as I am. I tend to see her as a bit stubborn and one who tends to do the same thing over and over and not one that implements corrections easily or quickly. Not sure if she just struggles with impelmenting or if she thinks she is doing what is asked...who knows. Anyway, just asking as a concerned parent who is afraid her 11 year old is going to top out at level 4 if she can't figure this out! We are kind of on the fence about the direction her gymnastics is going to take (what path) but regardless, even if we move to Xcel she needs this skill to progress on bars!
