My coach is really nice and is always very encouraging. I am the only girl on my team who really likes gymnastics and works hard (i think). And my coach has realized that. I have been makeing HUGE progress lately and have been getting loads of complemints from my coaches...until yestarday. She got really upset with all the level 6's, encluding ME! We were supposed to be doing back tumbling into the pit, and we all have fear issues with that. Well, we were warming up (RO BHS Rebounds into pit) and after i did one i went to the bathroom. I came back out and she storms over and starts yelling at use because we hadn't fliped yet. Well, after that, it was my turn first, and i went and did it. That made her even MORE mad at me. I was going to tell her that i was in the bathroom so i hadn't even had time to flip, but i decided that making excuses wasn't the best idea . And then on bars, she was still angry with us and kept saying how our clear-hips were not improving at all since we started doing them.
I guess i am just not used to this attidude from her. So, how can i get over my fear of tumbling into the pit or make my clearhips better? When we go to gym on wednseday i just want to be able to throw my skills so she will be really happy and so i will feel good about myself and be motivated.
But here is the thing...
i am not really scared to tumble into the pit, like, once i start to do my RO i know that i will go. But the problem is getting myself to even start running! If i run down the tumbling strip and i know that i am still scared in my head i won't go. In order to go, i have to have someone counting to 5 repeatidly, and after about 2 minutes of that i will go. It is frustrating for my teammates too (the ongoing counters). Ughh, i just don't know what to do.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
