I've been steadily working on my bhs for about 2 months now. (I know it's not long). Being the "high-expectations" girl that I am, I'm starting to get frustrated cause I can't do it by myself. Not trying to brag here, but I have big leg muscles-so pushing off shouldn't be a problem. But it is. I'm locking out and getting over, but my coaches keep telling me I'm not jumping. I'm really tired of doing cheese mat drills for an hour at practice every week.

Any advice?

Make sure you're pushing right through your toes. I know I don't on my tucks and it cuts a lot of height/power. Also, keep your arms swinging fast. Everything should be fast with the BHS. You may have the power to get over, but if it's slow your feet might be getting left behind

And keep doing your drills. You know 2 months is a short time, as you said yourself. Mine took 4 months at going to classes and open gyms 4 times/week. Don't get discouraged. The more you do the easier they get

A lot of Backhandspring drills will help to boost your confidence and strength. Also have your coach spot you on the floor repetitively so you'll get the feeling of getting your legs over fast enough!

I can relate to this so much. Haha I'm also a "perfectionist" so I know how extremely annoying it is. When you go for it, remember to not lean forward and sit too much into it, because you will loose all of your power and under cut.
