I have a kid who trains like a rock star, almost always hits during training and constantly getting new skills, but falls apart in competition. She sometimes blanks, usually just executes skills way below her ability. She usually does okay in warm-up, but once I'm not standing there giving her reminders and advice, she's done.
I'm looking for ways to help her with this: how to make her training more high pressure, what to tell her before she competes to calm her down and get her in the right frame of mind etc. She's 9 years old, its her second year competing and she's P2 (about level 6). Any advice from coaches, parents or gymnasts is welcome!
