    Parents Backwalkover crooked

    my daughter finally got her BWO on beam after a huge mental block and then ended up in a boot for a stress fracture for 4 weeks and didn’t do that skill. Out of the boot now her BWO is so crooked! She is lifting her leg up and her hips twist every single time. Any suggestions on drills or...

    Parents “A Letter I’ll Never Send”

    What an amazing daughter you have! She sounds amazingly strong and has faced such adversity in her young life and come out the other side. I pray she now is thriving in a gym where she is celebrated and feels safe. ❤️

    Parents Mental Block During Meet Season

    Great advice here! and I agree- time, give it time. My daughter had a block on BWO on beam for a year- I finally figured out not to say anything about it and just give her space, time, support, and encouragement. Now she is doing them on the high beam! Then just last week she fell on her...

    Parents BWO on beam fear

    Wanted to update that she has it on the high beam by herself! We agreed not to talk about it until states were done and then she picked the coach to do a few privates with. Her face when she did it on her own was one I will never forget.

    Update- her season is almost over and the last meet she did amazing and for the first time ever, she won AA for her age group and had the 2nd highest AA in the whole meet! The smile on her face brought me to tears. I was so thrilled to see her confidence shine through!

    Parents BWO on beam fear

    Thank you everyone for ideas and suggestions! Her coaches do know of her fear- we talked about it at her conference last spring. They said repetition was the key to getting over the fear but obviously they cannot make her go for it. She will do it on a floor beam (squishy kind) and floor beam...

    No they do not do alternatives. And although I like her coaches a lot they don't seem to be helping her get over this fear as it's been over a year .

    Parents BWO on beam fear

    my 10 yo daughter is in her 2nd year as a 4 and is so so fearful of the BWO on beam. She cannot even begin to think of doing it on the high beam by herself and her coaches do not spot beam. I have downloaded some doc Ali's meditations on fear but she doesn't seem to like them so much. I don't...

    Parents Gaining confidence

    Thank you all! Great advice. And that video!! A tear jerker for sure. I'm trying to just focus on all she has improved on since last year and how proud we are of her. I just wish she could find the switch to turn on wanting to be a leader and not so much the follower and showing more confidence...

    Parents Gaining confidence

    My daughter is repeating level 4 and my hope for her this season is to gain confidence in herself and just let go. I don't know how to help her with this. She is shy and quiet, and I really wish she could see herself through my eyes. I think she is amazing. She is a kind teammate and so hard...
