mental blocks...

I really struggle with vault. It is the scariest thing to me even though im not advanced at vault. At practice we were practicing with the older levels and so they put the vault setting higher and the board farther away from what im used to. becasue of this, i got nervous a lot and freaked out at the last seccond. i wanted to do it. my coach pulled me aside and got really upset and i just wasnt used to vaulting with the older girls. PLEASE leave advice to get over my fear!

Vault can be very scary. Before you go take a deep breath. Turn around (so your back is to the vault), visualize yourself doing it perfectly and then turn around and go. Breath. Try not to worry about it. Talk to your coach; let her know what is going on!!
