I am an American, and have always favored the Russian gymnasts...but I freaking love Mykayla! And I’m so grateful she has been doing this UA-cam channel, throughout this past year!
Your coaches seems so balanced in how they talk to you: clear about what you need to do to improve but also very encouraging, and supportive of you being a whole person. With the discussions about different types of abuse that have come from the coaching world, could you talk about that sometime, what to look for in a healthy coaching relationship? What parents should be aware of, etc?
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial do you think that going to college and dialling down the difficulty & concentrating more on form has actually helped with form when you've come to dial it back up again for elite second round? X
Really enjoying watching your channel and journey. Thank you for sharing :) I have stage IV cancer and don’t feel well from chemo a good bit, so it’s nice to rest and watch these videos and not think about cancer for a little while! :)
Yesssss another update so soon! So happy for you on your performance at camp. I’m amazed how quickly you’re getting your skills back, even with the lingering exhaustion from being sick. You come back stronger than a ‘90s trend❤️
I'm so commited to your olympic journey I can't even express it. You've improved so much it's amazing. Congrats on the hard word it's paying off. Love you!
I honestly didn’t realize how often they fall on these stunts. I’m shocked that there aren’t so many more falls during high stress competitions. So much talent.
Sending love and good juju! You've got this MyKayla! Your bars look incredible! Your vault is looking fantastic! Your beam will be fantastic with or without the illusion. It's my favorite move and it's tough on floor. If you can nail it on beam it'll be even more impressive. Can't wait to see your full floor!
Wow, bars are looking so good, legs are straight, things are coming together and everything is looking clean and controlled on beam. All the hard work is for sure paying off right now. You got this! So inspirational, def be proud of yourself.
I think taking out the illusion is the right call. Play to your strengths (like that incredibly high tuck full!!!) and keep working on the dismount. Hopefully you can bring back the full in just in time for trials! Also your Cheng really is looking better than ever. The attention to detail you've put in on the block is really paying off!
Congrats Makayla!!!!!! You’ve earned this and you deserve it, that is super cool! I absolutely love you and your channel, and you have my full support for the foreseeable future!
I am noticing a bit or trend in elite gymnastics that beam mounts are becoming popular again. I feel like they cycle in and out of popularity and for a long time they have been out but not they are coming back in. My guess is it has to do with difficulty obviously and trying to just max out points but I like it it a lot stylistically really well and it makes them much more interesting I want her and Chelsie Memmell to get their comeback so bad. Chelsie is a monster again and people are going to be shook come April.
Your beam is looking really nice! I'm an adult beginning gymnast, and I totally get that feeling of things just not "working," or not being as flexible, or strong, or whatever sometimes. It's frustrating for sure! Some days are just like that, and the most you can do is just count it as a rough practice, and come back to it tomorrow.
Watching these videos has been so inspiring. I don’t do gymnastics never did (I don’t like to do backwards things lol!!) my 11 year old daughter is a gymnast though and she loves you!! She watches all your videos!!!
On bars, have your coaches ever considered putting the pirouette in at the start of the routine? Just wondering coz the one you did as a timer of the low bar around 8.30 was great. Do you think endurance is the issue in why you struggle with it more at the end of the routine? Just thinking getting that element out of the way early might be beneficial? Not sure how you'd re-arrange the routine tho! Got to say, your form on bars has improved SO MUCH!! Amazing xx
MYK AND JONAS!! Not sure if you'll see this. But just wanted to pass along some ideas for routine constructions that highlight your strengths and remove some of those tricky built-in deductions. TBH you can definitely score 58 in the AA with this, and since you hit when it counts, I think a top 4 AA finish at Trials is so doable for you. VT (6.0D): Keep it up with your Cheng! ------ UB (5.8D): The only upgrade should be the Bhardwaj, in my opinion, and no Maloney 1/2 (just do half turn and then toe-shoot up to the high bar). Leave everything else the same, especially your signature dismount combo! * weiler 1/2 (D) + maloney (D) + tkachev (D) = 0.3 cv * ray (D) + bhardwaj (E) = 0.2 cv * cast 1/2 (B) + ray (B) * hip circle (C) + giant 1/1 (C) + double double (F) ----- BB (6.5D): One minor change here, try replacing the Switch 1/2 combo with your BHS Full! Also, I'd say don't worry about connecting the 2 side jumps, just focus on hitting those 2 skills cleanly and individually. * candle mount (D) * bhs (B) + back 1/1 (F) = 0.2 cv * side aerial (D) + split (B) + straddle (B) = 0.2 cv * switch (C) + bhs 1/1 (D) + tuck jump 1/2 (B) = 0.3 cv * side straddle 1/2 (D) * side stretched 1/1 (D) * L-turn (C) + full turn (A) = 0.1 cv * round-off (B) + full-in (G) = 0.2 cv ---- FX (6.3D): The Triple Double in place of Moors is going to be so good for your score. If you follow up with the double double and 2 more passes you've trained, your tumbles will have very few execution deductions. * triple double (J) * double double (H) * 1.5 step-out (C) + full-in (E) = 0.2 cv * front tuck step-out (A) + triple twist (E) * L-hop 1/1 (C) + switch 1/2 (C) * double wolf turn (D) * triple turn (C)
Anybody else thinking myk and chellsie are closer than we think after this week’s videos? Love both ladies and think one or two of them will make the Olympic team. Will be interesting for them both to do 2 events at the first Classic in April
Hi Myk you really inspire me, I could not belive when you started a youtube channel i was so happy you have a great spirit . you replied to my comment and i was soo happy because it really means so much too me . i also do gymnastics my coaches say im really talented i hope too be something like you some day .💗💖🥰
You’re an amazing athlete! I’m surprised your coaches don’t drill you on pointed toes and feet together when doing skills to clean it up. You’re a beast btw
I really hope u make the Olympic team u definitely work so hard and to come back from the exhaustion of COVID for I know is so so difficult I wish u the best praying for you 😊
You are getting there!! So much progress! So you're doing a Korbut on the beam? I say this all the time, I used to get bruised up every time I did it & I had it in my routine. I can't wait to see full routines on every apparatus! ❤️
I used to do an illusion turn in dance which I taught myself. I always thought it was more about confidence in your core and back to complete the rotation. You have a very nice one when you go for it and I hope you keep it for a different day. You're so inspiring. You make me regret never having done gymnastics when I was a kid. I would have loved bars. I always went to the bars on the playground and was a daredevil there.
I also vlogged a bit of camp so hit subscribe and that will be out soon!! 🥰
Can’t wait!!
Good luck MyKayla! Hope you learn some good things
Wow, so cool! Hope camp went well :-)
YES PLEASE
Can't wait! Keep it up, MyKayla!
I’m not even American but I love this girl and I really hope she makes the Olympic team 🥰
Me too!
Ditto! Not American but really hope she makes the team!
I am an American, and have always favored the Russian gymnasts...but I freaking love Mykayla! And I’m so grateful she has been doing this UA-cam channel, throughout this past year!
awe thank you that means a lot ☺️
Same!!
I’ve never wanted anyone to make the Olympic team more. Rooting for you girl!
Same!!!
Her and chellsie =)
she made it :)
AHHH SHE MEDALLED
10:21 This is what positive coaching looks like. You do not need to berate athletes. EVER.
Your coaches seems so balanced in how they talk to you: clear about what you need to do to improve but also very encouraging, and supportive of you being a whole person. With the discussions about different types of abuse that have come from the coaching world, could you talk about that sometime, what to look for in a healthy coaching relationship? What parents should be aware of, etc?
So I was kind of right. They took out the illusion turn for camp but she will keep working on it after
you could've waited just a few hours and finished editing once I was home 😂😝
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial Lol for a second I thought this was a random subscriber but I read the name and it’s just Jonas 😂
Take it outtttt the deductions will be crazy for lack of flexibility and they may not even credit it. Add back in the full twisting backhand spring
I love the illusion combo! I hope you keep it if you like it and feel good doing it! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing with us!
Aww I love that turn combo though! I really hope it gets put back into the routine! Rooting for you MyKayla! Best wishes!🥰🤸♀️🥇
I’m excited to see the documentary you are in.
it's gonna be a good one!
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial what’s it going to be called?
What documentary so we know what to watch for?
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial can u pleeeeeeease tell us once its released??
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial omg!! Yay! I’m excited to watch itb
Love the fanclub cheering her on when she's caught her breath for too long on the balance beam 😃
Hahahahah I love when you say “I’m sorry” in the middle of a routine 😂😂
So this is it what is behind all those effortless-looking routines! So much respect for all the hours of training!
Your form has improved a lot since 2016! It is inspiring and proof that hard work pays off!
that's how it's done!! thanks for noticing ☺️
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial do you think that going to college and dialling down the difficulty & concentrating more on form has actually helped with form when you've come to dial it back up again for elite second round? X

Bars look sooo hard! Thanks for showing us that you struggle. Respect to you for showing us the good and the not so good 😊
Yesssss another update so soon! So happy for you on your performance at camp. I’m amazed how quickly you’re getting your skills back, even with the lingering exhaustion from being sick. You come back stronger than a ‘90s trend❤️
haha thank you and I love that song 💕💕💕
Is this a reference to Willow by Taylor Swift?
I cant believe how much this girls bars have improved in the last year! Real shot at Tokeyo
I like that your routine has so many clearhips I feel like it's an underrated move in elite gymnastics
I'm so commited to your olympic journey I can't even express it. You've improved so much it's amazing. Congrats on the hard word it's paying off. Love you!
🥰
I honestly didn’t realize how often they fall on these stunts. I’m shocked that there aren’t so many more falls during high stress competitions. So much talent.
I know I’m in absolute awe
I'm from Chile and I really admire you! cause your tenacity, mental strength and conviction. You can do it Guuurl!!!
Girl - you are superwoman. If there is anyone that deserves this, it’s you. We are rooting for you Myk!
❤️
Congratulations Myk! You can do this -I support you and praying for your success. Keep up the good work. Lots of love!
i am actually obsessed with this little human. YOU GO GIRL
Sending love and good juju! You've got this MyKayla! Your bars look incredible! Your vault is looking fantastic! Your beam will be fantastic with or without the illusion. It's my favorite move and it's tough on floor. If you can nail it on beam it'll be even more impressive. Can't wait to see your full floor!
The Cheng looks better than ever!
Yeah, she changed her technique!
She’s so cute and so talented ! Every time she fell the wrong way on the bars and jumped off her little “sorryyyy!” To her coach 🥺😂😂
I'm so glad you made this channel. I love gymnastics but this lets fans get to know you and gain more supporters
i look up to her so much ! thank you for showing mess ups to it’s a good reminder that even the best of the best mess up or have off days !!❤️
Her form has gotten sooo much better
Wow, bars are looking so good, legs are straight, things are coming together and everything is looking clean and controlled on beam. All the hard work is for sure paying off right now. You got this! So inspirational, def be proud of yourself.
So impressed with how hard you push even when you're exhausted 💕
Looks awesome! I look up to you everyday at practice. How you work through injuries and sickness to reach your goal is amazing!
💕
Go MyK!! Thanks for filming, Jonas.
You are our home town girl! We will be cheering you on! The competition is going to be tough! Best of luck!
Much respect to you, you’re working really hard and it’s paying off . I wish you all the best of luck in your gymnastics career .
I like how you put in the Shaposh half into your bars routine. That's very impressive. I also liked your Cheng.
LOOOL I love doing this “Skinner” !!! 🥱
The block on vault is SO much improved. 2 hands now! Exciting!
I think taking out the illusion is the right call. Play to your strengths (like that incredibly high tuck full!!!) and keep working on the dismount. Hopefully you can bring back the full in just in time for trials! Also your Cheng really is looking better than ever. The attention to detail you've put in on the block is really paying off!

thank you ❤️❤️
I just came back to this after your most recent video and you've improved so much in just a month!! its crazy to see - I'm rooting for you!
Your cheng block has become really wonderful! Your hard work is awesome. Can't wait to see you compete
That’s an interesting and cool lulu tank you have, I didn’t know they made that, but I like it!
Well done Myk! Highest score on vault is amazing! Well done you. Major success!
I love watching your videos so much!! I love gymnastics so I love watching your videos and I love watching how amazing you are!!!😁

I love how she says, “just a full in.”
So excited to follow your journey to the Olympics! I hope you make the team.
Your beam routine is soooooo fun to watch, hope to see you in the Olympics Myk!

5:57 “Signature move” “you should get that named after you” lol I literally laughed out loud 😆
😂😂
So much improvement! But hella solid on the beam. Get it girl, rooting for you!
I love when the coach gets all glam.
congrats on making national team! also, you've had such a great attitude working through all the challenges this year :-)
Amazing progress! So excited for you! 💕💕💕
I needed This my vault is my worst event thanks 😊
You got this!

I really hope u make the olympic team, Croatia is rooting for u😀
Beam really does look great. I'm excited to see you bust through the noise on the all around
Watching these videos has been so inspiring. I don’t do gymnastics never did (I don’t like to do backwards things lol!!) my 11 year old daughter is a gymnast though and she loves you!! She watches all your videos!!!
Looking forward to seeing you in the Olympics !!! Great going
I like your willingness to do tough moves and combinations. Good luck!
Mykayla, National Team Member 2021! Yessssssss!!!!
Congratsssssss you deserve it!!
How does she get so much better every video! Like look at that progress 😍
Thats spirit girl!!! Wish u the best. U got this 💪🏼
That bar routine is gonna be insane!!!

Wow. You were getting after it! Do take time to recoup though!
Hi Myk you really inspire me, I could not belive when you started a youtube channel i was so happy you have a great spirit . you replied to my comment and i was soo happy because it really means so much too me . i also do gymnastics my coaches say im really talented i hope too be something like you some day .💗💖🥰

You’re an amazing athlete! I’m surprised your coaches don’t drill you on pointed toes and feet together when doing skills to clean it up. You’re a beast btw
Wow your form is looking great! Even better than only 6 months ago. Very impressed, keep up the hard work! What was your major at Utah?
I really hope u make the Olympic team u definitely work so hard and to come back from the exhaustion of COVID for I know is so so difficult I wish u the best praying for you 😊
You are getting there!! So much progress!
So you're doing a Korbut on the beam? I say this all the time, I used to get bruised up every time I did it & I had it in my routine.
I can't wait to see full routines on every apparatus! ❤️
Rooting for you mykayla
I used to do an illusion turn in dance which I taught myself. I always thought it was more about confidence in your core and back to complete the rotation. You have a very nice one when you go for it and I hope you keep it for a different day.

uneven bars looks so fun to me! i know its really hard but it looks like its fun
What a huge improvement with your strength! You may not realize it yet but you are getting there!!

Thank you!!! You've improved so much since I've started watching you, keep up the good work!!
My favorite video of your training!!
