I am a highschool gymnast and have been involved with gymnastics off and on since I was preschool age. At 9 years of age I gained the skill of an illusive backhandspring and at 10 I was doing roundoff backhandsprings. For the next 4 years I did gymnastics off and on. I came offically back to gymnastics in Spring of this year, hoping to perfect tumbling for cheerleading ( then I didn't think I was going to do HS gymnastics, but now I am doing hs gymnastics and not cheerleading) I gained the skill of a roundoff bhs back tuck and was very happy. I would pratice in my yard and do hundreds of bhs every day or so.
Then it happened for the first time. I got scared. In the yard I just stopped flipping after my roundoff. I went to the gym and easily got it back with a heavily spot. I continued doing perfect ro bhs back tucks. Then it happened again this time is got worse and lasted longer. I lost my ro bhs. Then my bhs. Then I was terrified to do a backwalkover. But I gained it all back again.
Only to lose it again these previous months. It went backwards again, and I am just now gaining confidence to do a bhs with a full spot on tumble track. For a while I wouldn't go to the point where my coach would throw me over.
I made the gymnastics team, even though the requirements were a ro bhs. I have strong bars/beam. I am still very frightened to do a bhs. I think about it 24/7. I have tried all the tricks, not thinking, praying, 1-2-3 GO!. But it doesn't work. It has tooken full control on my gymnastics career and I am scared to death of my coaches being mad at me for it.
If anyone could please help me, I would be very appreciative.
God bless
