Help with my vault please!?

Question

I have been doing gymnastics for about 2 years now, and I am in an optional competition program called JOGA. I am really struggeling with my front handspring vault, and I cannot get over-even with a spotter. I was wondering if someone could please give me some tips, to help with my vault. My problem is that I do not reach out on the vault table, and my hands hit bottom end. I am not afraid, but I never expect myself to make it over, and the ironic thing is that I did make it over for both competition vaults, but not in the warmups or in the month leading up. I'd really appreciate someone's help because I am tired of being yelled at and feeling bad that I am the only person not making it over.

Answer 1

I have always been really good at vault so I hope that I can help you you can try to accelerate down the runway then jump at the back of the springboard and put your hands near the back of the vault table and push off as hard as you can. Just don't slow down your run even of you think that you will not make it over because more than likely you will.
