Swing Development
Mar 7th
I quite like this idea from Was Watanabe of wearing small ankle weights to help with developing the swing for giants. Unfortunately our Code of Conduct states that we will not allow our gymnasts to use weights so we need to be very cautious of this. I wonder if there is a way around it – wearing shoes perhaps? My gymnasts have found it difficult learning the difference between the original bent leg swing, then onto the pike (or float) swing and now for learning giants, they have found it difficult to do the slight tap on the swing down.
