    Coaches Dealing with the fear factor

    Do you guys have any particular tricks to get kids over mental blocks? I'd mainly like to hear what you do with skills that you can't fully spot. I have one guy who has amazingly powerful tumbling (when he does a RO-BHS-rebound, his feet are at my eye level), but is afraid to do a back tuck...
