this is not a heel stretch, but this is the BEST bow and arrow i've ever seen in my LIFE.

HOLY SKINNY! Im kind of worried for this girl! :/ I really don’t think bows pulled behind the head are that cute.. Grosses me out a little bit...

Yep. CEA does them wrong, and Taryn is too. For it to be a heel stretch, the heel has to be facing straight, not to the side. Everyone does it, so it looks "right", but it's not. It's a lot easier to pull it to the side too.

On heel stretches I can go either way because I'm gymnastics the heel stretch is called a Y-scale and it is pulled to the side, away from the body, often with the arm in front.
I prefer the front stretch myself. Knee facing the body.

She is really thin....

She's a kid, she might be going through a growth spurt or just scrawny. I was a stick as a kid and I did a LOT of exercise. And if she's sick either mentally or physically, telling her to eat a sandwich isn't particularly helpful. I'm sure she, her parents, her team and coaches are all aware she's thin and are doing something about it if it's because of illness. No need to call out a kid on body size.
