I’ve been diving since 1993... with a little break in there to grow our family, but that’s longer than most of my competitors have been alive.
And I’m still learning, still pushing forward, still trying to break the mold.
I love this somersault exercise in the video (swipe to see it in slomo). When you’re trying to get into a smaller tuck or wanting to use your legs or hips more on the start, sometimes it’s good to do somersaults without grabbing your legs. By doing that, you’re learning to do more than just pull in with your arms.
Obviously do this only with coach approval and in a cushioned setting. Start with front somersaults. The more experienced you are, you can try it in different directions.
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and try something different to see if it helps!
