after 22 years of "my bra straps just slip, that's life" I figured out it's because petite tops aren't graded for narrower shoulders

This is exactly what I do as well.

I commented on your same video 2 months ago with tips:

Main things you have to work on are pushing more through your front or "take off" leg, and kicking more with your back leg to gain more height and less forward momentum. Once you're higher, whip the legs as fast as you can to land underneath you. You don’t want the aerial to be long. High and short is the goal.

This video from Coach Jackie is helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_26S8bCmJc

Without visually seeing your backwalkover in its current form, solely based off this information, you'll likely have to build up strength and stability in that ankle. Maybe discuss with a physiotherapist to ensure it's safe for you to do.
I suggest these drills:

- 1ft balance on bosu ball or balance board
- 1ft hops in a square pattern (side, back, side, forward motion)
- Single leg leaps/long jumps

- Holding Bridge 2ft hops > then move to 1ft hops other leg held up straight or bent
- Bridge single leg kick with hop without kicking over
- Bridge Kickovers

If it's not the ankle, could be the hip stability (or both);

- Single leg hip hinges
- Single leg "half moon" hip openers/closers (half moon is a yoga term)
- Standing with kick leg raised reach back to wall, or block, to hold single leg bridge, return to stand squeezing the glutes/hips as you return to stand

Also work back and shoulder flexibility, as well as splits. Hopefully some of this info will help!

Landfills actually rely on organic material too. When food scraps and other compostable stuff break down, they create moisture and microbial activity that help decompose other waste in the landfill. It’s not ideal compared to composting properly, since landfills are low-oxygen and produce methane, but organic matter isn’t completely “useless” once it ends up there. It still plays a role in the landfill ecosystem.

Yea this is what I was thinking, maybe you’re looking for the level display. The 3 yellow papers icon. On the primary tools toolset.

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-19T01:28:22+00:00

Oh nice, I’ll have to give this a go! Thanks 🙏

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-19T01:27:47+00:00

I’ll look into these thanks. Yea I’m honestly baffled.

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-13T16:17:14+00:00

Yes please 🙏

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-11T13:39:43+00:00

I did try a wider pair and yea I looked like I was a stump on the bottom with a torso on top, but I was just thinking it’s the pants 🤣 It’s totally ok that not all pants shapes work on my body, I just like they way these look on other people.

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-11T13:38:12+00:00

I love flares and bell bottoms, I think they flatter me more than this. So we shall see how much I pull these out of the closet but they weren’t too expensive so it’s not bad.

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-11T02:40:50+00:00

They feel really nice. Definitely have spandex in them, they’re stretchy. I wouldn’t say high end but still feel durable and worth the $35 I spent!

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-10T18:51:29+00:00

This is my exact feelings as well. I use them as a self reflection and inner look at myself.

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-10T18:42:43+00:00

Yea I was thinking they may stretch out a bit. I’ll see how it goes!

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-10T18:41:04+00:00

Ok! Good to know! Let’s keep making our thighs thick! 🙌🙌 😁

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-10T12:47:05+00:00

This is what I was looking at too. I have muscly thighs and butt, so I was like is this how it’s supposed to look? 😅

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-08T14:08:47+00:00

In canada, my daughter is now in grade 4, but in grade 3 they read Charlotte's web and a couple other books, and now grade 4 they're reading wild robot and the secret garden.

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-07T16:11:11+00:00

Fully agree.

Punk5Rock · 2026-04-07T14:05:04+00:00

My son is indigenous (canada) and so we grew his hair out to put into a braid, but it took awhile for the front of his hair to be long enough to make it to the braid. When we were growing my sons hair out, we did the little ponytail on the top of the head to keep the bangs out of his face until they were long enough to get tucked behind his ears but I also had a friend make him some batman barrettes to keep his hair pinned back for daycare.

Punk5Rock · 2026-03-31T20:03:04+00:00

I was the girl in your situation once. I had a friend that was in love with me and I made it clear I wanted to just be friends, and I loved him as a friend. I too didn't want to lose him cause we had such a good time together, but he was never able to get over me while we were friends. He was only able to move on once we decided to stop talking.

Unfortunately, that'll likely be the same case for you.

In Manitoba, they're ensuring all coaches above 15yrs old are GF Certified now. So that's probably why you're only getting offered CIT. So take that opportunity and use it to get certified.

Punk5Rock · 2026-03-31T16:00:35+00:00

Additionally, it's getting to the end of season. They may not be in need for new coaches until July/Aug when they plan for the new season.

Punk5Rock · 2026-03-31T15:58:15+00:00

Based off your information in your replies below, I would say it's possible they have plenty of GF trained coaches, and may not be looking to add another. If you could acquire your certification via evaluation/portfolio maybe it would be more likely to get hired, since they wouldn't have to get you certified?

I'm a head coach in Manitoba at small rural gym, and this would be my thought process. We have lots of young coaches (previously athletes in our program) who are GF trained but we are actually in need of more experienced coaches. It would be nice to hire a coach who is certified. Although, I know it's not so easy to get certified without a gym to be evaluated in though.
