    Thanks, that’s really helpful. I’m not overly concerned as you say, it might fix itself as the height increases but thought i’d ask incase there’s something proactive we can be doing.

    He’s got a good understanding of frontside directionals and his threadle slices and directional backsides are looking quite nice now. He puts in a collection stride and doesn’t take off 4 meters too early when he knows he’s got to turn/think about a jump. It seems to only really show itself when he’s got to extend in a straight line!

    I’ll incorporate some sessions of the above exercises and see how we do.

    Thanks again!
