What does a coach look for when assessing 'D+B+A' in a routine?

When assessing 'D+B+A' in a routine, a coach is particularly focused on a well-balanced and varied skill set performance. This means that the gymnast is expected to demonstrate skills of different difficulties and types within their routine. The 'D' (Difficulty), 'B' (Balance), and 'A' (Artistry) components encourage gymnasts to showcase a diverse range of elements that not only include high-level skills but also balance and artistic expression.

By emphasizing a varied skill set, the coach can evaluate how well the gymnast integrates different elements, creating a routine that is not only technically challenging but also engaging and dynamic. This diversity helps in scoring higher due to the impressiveness of the routine as a whole, taking into account that variety in skills contributes positively to overall performance evaluation.
