I've been co-coaching with a muscular male gymnastics coach who has recently left me to coach the team by myself. As a 5' 2" 125lbs female coach, I can't just pick up the girls and flip them over like he could. A few of the gymnasts are taller and weigh more than I do. Do you know of any good resources for spotting technique when picking them up and flipping them over isn't an option. For example, how do I get a girl who can do a round off backhandspring onto mats to do it on the floor without the fear that she will bail halfway through and I won't be able to fully catch her.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
