Question
i need help with stretching for heel stretch and a scorpion
i mand the high school team and i am only in 8th grade and she says i need to get more flexible
First off I have to say that I am a guy so obviously I am and always have been just a base. However 2 years ago on my college squad I had a partner with the same problem you have. SHe was probably the best stunter we had on everything but a heel stretch, she couldnt pull it without pulling the stunt down. Literally every night after practice and on her own on our days off she just stood in front of a mirror and kept practicing pulling stretches while on the ground. Then every couple weeks she'd have us watch it and then try it with me in the air. After a few months she was pulling it just as good as everyone else and thats really all she did.
