Coaching Points
When both bibs are in the air you need to decide if you can catch them both at the same time(Are they within arms length?), if you can you may have to focus your gaze between the two bibs instead of looking at only one. If you feel the bibs are too far apart for you to catch them at the same time, you need to work out, which is going to fall to the ground first/last or which is closest to you. Quickly plan a route in your head and commit to catching them.

Coaching Points
Try to keep your head and upper body as still as it can be, stand up straight with your arms out to the side and bend the knee on your standing leg so that you are lower to the ground; this will help you stay balanced. Tense your core muscles and push down into the ground through the standing leg. The leg that is being pulled should be relaxed and act as a shock absorber to the various directions the partner chooses to pull. Try not to fight the ropes by pulling too hard back against your partner with your non standing leg.
