Coach’s notes
flamingo kikup / alignment
Saturday: corridor bail - leading with pelvis to create more space with legs + gauntlet
2 | Drill | Volune | Cue |
Kickup | if land → take off and balance (use finger games 2.0) | ㅤ | ㅤ |
If point of diminishing turn | use a step or an alignment that maximise landing % / a cushion | ㅤ | ㅤ |
Alignment | GDBD while keeping shoulder C+ (allow C or C- when opening into GD if it makes things ligther) (→ take off and bail) | ㅤ | as close to wall as possible |
ㅤ | C2W moving into 1st stack V shape / chager / both feet on wall | ㅤ | ㅤ |
Bailing C2W | ㅤ | ㅤ | ㅤ |
the experiment | ㅤ | ㅤ | moving the hand while foot still on wall (tethered bail) when possible |
