how do you teach someone to turn when they have been jumping for years with going over the bar on their side?

my coach made me do pop-up turn drill's then once i was comfortable with those i was put on a small soft pole then gradually worked up to my competition pole.

i always used to "corkscrew" or turn as i was going over the bar and doing all these fixed it
speak softly and carry a big stick

Do it the same way as you would with a beginner... Take them to the sand pit and do 1's and 2's with a bungie on some hurdles. Slowly make your way to the pit and back on steps. LOTS OF REPS. :yes:
