FULL APPROACHES Video #2 - Great strong approach but 10 is too close to the bar so no room to operate. You actually release this jump pretty vertical, but because you're so close it's an early strike and you abandon your execution in the air. Hope you can see the amazing strength in all these full approaches now! Video #3 - This is a very solid jump. Great energy into good spacing at the bar. You get around to perpendicular in the air so we see that work has helped. Arms could be better, but the main thing I notice on this jump (that I forgot to mention at practice today) is look at your drive-knee block here! That knee should drive to waist-high and you're only getting halfway there? Maybe a remnant of unconcious caution from the hip injury, but we need to work on that, 8-9-10s again. EVEN THEN given weak arms and a weak knee drive - look how HIGH your back gets over this bar at the first frame where your head goes behind the closer upright!!! Imagine the power and height when your super approach energy gets a full big Together arms + drive leg underneath it!!! You're so high on this one that even a straight down break can't find the crossbar. This jump shows so much promise that I am still as excited as ever about your jumping! (You totally fell in the crater on this one, too!) Video #4 - Compare plant-foot placement on this one to video #3. This one is REALLY close to the bar, but you release super-vertical and actually avoid a strike while rising, and again are way over height-wise at the apex. At the top here your upper back is at the 5-0 level - you gotta see that!!! We just need to work on chin & arch control to ROLL the rest of you through that same level your upper back is getting to (this is what Jesse does so well). Again so high your break cannot find the crossbar - I think it is actually a heel strike from below that causes this miss? I still don't like what hits the mat first - another result of the early break. Video #5 - This approach & pacing is just perfection! Again see how high over the bar you upper back is at the top - WOW!!! You have put so much new area under your parabola with your hard work & conditioning. This jump is even better than #3. Same strengths & same gripes - we know what we need to work on. I also like to cursor backwards from step 10 back to step 1 to really see the strength & boundiness of your approach! Video #6 - This one breaks down in the plant. Chin is FULLY back when 10 hits the ground - way too early. Shoulders are going down while hips are still driving up which we know means the Release was NOT Above... Don't dwell on this one - understand it and move on. BACK OVERS Video #1 - So, we both noticed the curious right foot step to start! Just curious for now, not alarming... You now why we do these - not for footwork. ARMS are 100% motion at the elbow, 0% at the shoulder. We want to change that to rotate at shoulders and block upper arms parallel to the ground and forearms straight up. More 8-9-10s to work on arm blocking. Chin is all the way to full arch while still on the ground in this one. Advance video frames to top of the arch - back arch looks GREAT & way over bar, but chin is on chest now so you break immediately when you start falling. It is like your chin is 2 steps ahead of the rest of you! This break for a pit-side bar strike is how most of your misses look. Mid-back landing, but nice roll-out here! Video #7 - A well-spaced jump here. You do hold arch longer despite chin position, so this is the first little peek at holding arch into the fall just a little - and see, you lived! Video #8 - T-Rex arms & quick break again for a back-side bar strike. Strong kick-out gives momentum to your roll-out on the mat - lots of style points :-) Video #9 - Excellent POWER to a super release angle - look how high your upper back gets on a BACK OVER now too! This arch onset, HALF - Arch, is better - and the full Arch is beautiful and at the top and exactly what we'd like to roll further over the parabola to the back side. Your break is from the apex of the parabola and straight down for the bar crush despite that much of a height-gap over the bar... Video #10 - Similar to #9. Despite T-Rex arms, you get great power and a huge gap over the bar - this jump is SUPER until the break... Most of your improvement to conquer the problems we've discussed will come from DRILLS and exercises as we've discussed and not from jumping. If you are as committed to the drills now for this as you were to build the strength and control that is evident in your approach, we WILL still make good progress this year! GREAT WORK, Brianna!
