From the swing to the forward giant: all the steps needed to teach this element
In this new video training, we have our usual 6 sections:
The technical analysis gives you, phase by phase, the placements and actions for a forward giant that looks easy.
The segment on prerequisites shows you 4 exercises that serve as indicators that your gymnasts are ready to learn the skill.
The teaching analysis offers more than 40 exercises to teach this move step by step:
- an exploration of the descent to the front for beginners
- the tensioning phase with the closing of the body
- the tap
- how to put it all together to create an effective backward swing
- how to progress from training set-ups to performance on the actual bars
The chapter on physical preparation offers a set of 14 highly specific strength exercises.
In the section on spotting, you'll learn a way to position your hands in order to be effective when helping your gymnasts.
Bonus: the live segment shows you 7 case studies (learning exercises as well as forward giants). The aim is to train yourself to watch the movements and figure out where the mistakes come from so that you can correct gymnasts effectively.
Enjoy the training!
