Congrats on getting into diving. Like you, I didn't start diving until high school, but ended up receiving a scholarship to a Division I and competed at both Junior Nationals and Senior Nationals. My advice to you on your gainer is to WAIT until your coach is there with you. You don't want to freak yourself out. When your coach is present, a great method taught with many U.S. Diving club teams is to learn the reverse dive tuck from a standing position. Good luck.
