Most club coaches I watch are still skill-hunting. Kid can't do a back handspring, so they throw more back handsprings. That's how you get ugly landings and scared athletes.

The skill is the last 10%. The other 90% is shapes: hollow, open shoulders, blocking angle, where the eyes go.

If a beam acro series is falling apart, I don't add more series. I go back to:

• How they set (are they still looking at the beam?)

• Whether the first skill finishes in a shape that actually allows the second

• Whether they can hold the connection shape on a line on the floor for 5 seconds without dying

If they can't hold the shape, they don't get the skill. That's the whole method.

Shape first. Skill second. If your gym is still counting repetitions of a broken skill, you're teaching fear, not gymnastics.
