Ok, so were finding that our main issues with placement are:
a. The kids can't function without us coaches counting for them (yes I know this is our fault) I'd like to know if anyone has any tricks they use to get their kids to be able to count their own music better, especially the littler ones. Counting music seems to be so easy to someone's who's done it a million yeRs, but I guess to a layman or a lil nugget, it's not. I want to help them succeed this season, but this is one of their weakest elements. Any help?
b. PERFORMANCE: in the gym the routine is flawless, they hit almost everything. It's sharp and looks so good. (This is for all my teams) but then they get on that blue mat and life is like sucked out their eyes and they miss stuff they never miss. Stunts fall that never fall. They just don't PERFORM well. What can I do to help them with this? Other than experience of doing it over and over at comp (this is only our third season open) idk what else I can do.
C. And lastly, FACES! We've been making them run it at practice with faves and it looks pretty decent. Again tho, they hit that mat and poof, different teams. Look scared or unhappy or blank. Any suggestions?
Thanks again ahead of time!!!
