This week's gymnastics technique video comes from the Region 3 College bound training camp. Aerial Athletics coach and former University of Missouri standout gymnast Bunny (Lauren) Schwartzman was working with a gymnast to improve her switch leap. She had her do switch leaps up to a panel mat to put emphasis on the lift that needs to happen in the leap. Then she had her do some on the floor holding an arabesque at the end. These drills hope to improve the overall height of the switch leap and allow for a smooth connection into the following skill.
