hi,
i have a big fear doing bhs and switch leaps on beam, because im scared of rolling my ankle or hurting my wrists. im a level 8, but three years ago i sustained a stress fracture from doing a bhs on the low beam, from kind of landing half off. How can i prevent hurting my self? or get over my fears? is it common to roll ankle on switches or hurt wrists? any advice, stretches, drills and strengthening exercises would be great. i dont really remeber how i hurt my wrist, or it hurting before i did it (the stress). i only remeber that it was a very minor fracture and i competed probably three months after it happened. im not scared of splitting the beam, ive done it plenty of times. but the thought of doing a bhs and crunching my wrist is terrrifying. or rolling my ankle on a switch.
I have other acros, like aerial and round off, but i want to become more verstile and do bhs to upgrade things like dismounts.
