One of the most challenging skills to "spot" as a gymnastics coach is the somersault from high bar to low bar.

  • I agree.

  • i prefere the technik of charly tomayo i am a french coach and i learn the same thing in first time to finish on handstant locked !!

  • I tryed a pak and i hit my head on the bar because i let go to late but know i can do it. it was just a fluke thing.

  • My female coach helped me get my pak salto and she never dropped me once.

  • It appears to me the female coach is working on developing timing and comfort in the spot. Strength does not appear to be the issue here.

  • not to be rude, but she doesn't seem strong enough to spot most hard skills anyway, I never meant to say this was an easy spot but not the most challenging skill to spot either.

  • not to be rude but she doesn't seem strong enough to spot most hard skills anyway, and difficulty depends alot on the kid as well

  • if it's not that hard than why does the female coach never really catch them?

  • true, some like to push u up high and around so you over rotate

  • It's not that hard of a spot, but a lot of coaches do it incorrectly, so don't be rude.
