I refuse to support any of my gymnasts on the beam. I believe if a gymnast is spotted on beam then they end up relying on the support and don't learn to perform the actions correctly on their own, and fear can build up even more than if support isn't given. If a gymnast can do a skill perfectly on a line, then the only reason preventing them from doing it on a beam is fear. I believe by letting a gymnast make their own move and choose when to move something up a beam eliminates fear and gives the gymnast a sense of control and responsibility over their skills
However many coaches have argued with this theory and I am very interested to hear other coaches points of view and hear others philosophies on spotting on beam
Any thoughts?
