fear

Hi! I can do a lot of things in gym, but on the trampoline I can not do a front sault! I have a fear of doing it and my coach has been trying to help me, but I cant bring myself to do it, if i ever do, its so close to the ground I don't make it halfway round! Please help! :confused: Thankyou!

SO... About 1 year ago, I started back walkovers on beam, at home.. I had them just wonderful on my high beam! I wasn't scared at all! NOW>> A year later Im working them at gym, and there is a HUGE mental block on me! I have never missed my hands, never had a nasty fall on them but the high...

I am soooo frustrated! I have never really been scared, but now..I feel like everything scares me! Back walkovers on beam, I can do it absolutely just fine on low beam, medium beam, and high beam with 2 mats under it... But once its done to that last mat, I just tell myself, "GO!" and I start...

Hey everyone! In the last couple of weeks I've developed a fear of doing back walkovers on high beam, for no reason at all. They've always made me a bit nervous, but I do them every practice and it hasn't been a problem until now. It seems to have started when I began training round-off back...

Last practice, my coach told me that I'm going to be starting flyaway twisting again. Last time we tried, I lost my flyaway and was scared of the twist. When y coach told me, I completely freaked out, and i don't even know what I'm scared of. Are there any drills that I can do to help with this...

She is a little timid of her mill circle. Not the mill circle itself. She says that part doesnt bother her. It doesnt keep her from trying it or anything. But she did say to me friday when I picked her up.. "Mommy..it scares me a little when I have to switch my hands around to do my mill...

I need help, please. I'm not scared to do anything on beam, bars, or vault. Floor is what gets me. Whenever I go for a backwards pass, I freak out. If my coach is standing near me, but doesn't spot me I can do the pass fine. But if they back to far away I freak myself out. Any suggetions to...

My DD has an ongoing fear of being spotted on anything related to the bars and balance beam. I have asked this before here on chalkbucket but maybe with some new members someone may have a new idea or two to help her get past the fear. It all started last year when she hurt herself doing a...

Hey guys, So about 3 months ago I had my round off on the high beam, but my coaches made me re-learn it because i was landing sideways, however I was not afraid to do the skill. Now it's three months later and my roundoff that I re-learned is still on the low beam. My coaches say that its...

Hey guys, lately I've been having this little fear of vault. I only do a handspring, and it's ridiculous because I used to be able to do it without a spot and now I'm scared to do it even with one. I don't know why I'm so afraid but I wanted to know if you have any ideas as to how I can get over...

My daughter has been doing a round off, back handspring, back tuck for almost a year now, but since December she has been going through phases where she's scared to do the back tuck. Lately, she will not do it at all without a spot and often stops after her back handspring which is making her...

Ok about a year and a bit a go my friend bailed out of a round off Flic Sault (RO-BHS-BT) resulting in a fractured lumber spine (L5 i think) since returning she has not saulted yet, she was fine last year during competition season but after that she took some time off and fear set in she...

My DD is a level 5 gymnast training level 6 skills. She was very excited this week because she did her flyaway for the first time (and many more after that). As I expected, her fears disappeared once she did it the first time. However, my fears were definitely heightened watching her do it...

Hello everybody! I am new to CB, after being a frequent lurker I finally decided to join. I have a question for everyone though; how does your/your child's coach deal with fear you/your child may have? Thanks for the answers in advance.

I'm almost 20 and just started an adult gym class in June. At first I was really good with beam and was able to get easy jumps and leaps and even a full turn (because I was a dancer for 14 years). I had my cross hanstand on medium beam and was totally fine with it. Then in August last year I had...

This is mostly just a vent.. Good vibes needed!! I've been having a really rough time at gym lately.. My giants aren't really consistent (I lose them ALL THE TIME), and I've stopped going for them on pit bar but I still did them on double bars last Thursday.. But Monday I got a huge rip (the...

Hi I have a friend that is too afraid to do either a backhandspring or roundoff. The coaches are angry and acually told us(her teamates) we had to ignore her the rest of practice. Also she had to try beam for four hours. None of this helped her. Does anyone know what would?

Hi. I do t&t and I mainly a tumbler. about 4-5 months ago I developed a RO BHS fear. After a lot of frustration from my coach and myself, I am very slowly working back into it. It would help much if coach had more patience. Anyways, since he has been frustrated with me on tumbling, he has been...

Tonight at gymnastics on beam it was terrible, same with last week as well. I have had a back walkover inconsistently for about a year. I am able to do it on the high beam, but I usually make my hands on the beam not my feet. Anyway, tonight I was scared to go back at all. I didn't want to do it...
