As a coach I hate when you give a correction to an athlete and they get defensive and say they were doing it correctly.
Example:
Coach: "Suzie that was really good you just need to lock out your leg next time. (or point your toe, etc.)
Athlete: "I did lock my leg I know I did!"
We wouldn't be correcting you if you did it correctly, we didn't just envision that your knee was bent or your toe was flexed. Take the criticism and perfect your skills.
Oh and I 193858 x's agree with who ever posted about telling your kids just stunting or just tumbling and like 5 people ask what they're suppose to do in the routine. If you would listen we just told you. Or they ask before you even have time to explain what you want them to throw.
