I know there are a lot of questions about dealing with fear on hear but this one is a little different.
As a coach, what do you do with the kids that have a big fear of not doing any skill back wards (back handspring, back walkover on beam, back tuck, flyaway, etc.) when they are completely capable? The different part however though is that she really doesn't want to move forwards with back tumbling, she has no interest in competing any of those skills but she wants to stay in gymnastics. Do you push her to do work through her fears and get them anyways or do you just leave it and move onto other skills even if if means you will be missing requirements?
We also don't have any sort of Prep Op program here and there is nothing available similar to it anywhere here.
