This drill is very smart for several reasons!
- The angled trampoline board (raised on a block) forces the gymnast to lean back on take off, giving a little extra “oomph” to the athletes that need it!
- The line (or light green mat) shows a visual to the gymnast to make sure they reach back far enough
- The raised mat will ecourage a strong pop off the hands
- Landing on the knees with a hollow chest will further train the strong pop to a more hollow/scooped postion to get the feet under/in front on landing (awesome for when that BHS connects to another one, etc).
- Some thoughts for next steps: move to the beat board (instead of trampoline board) or do this to feet on the mat — or use a smaller mat for hands and go to feet on the floor!
