fear of handstand on beam help

[ddgls654]

I know i already wrote about this but no one replied .
Well I was on beam on yesterday and I was doing my handstands but when i tried to hold my handstand i fell of the beam. And I guess i cant hold it because i have a fear of the beam .
Any advice ?

My DD had this same fear. Her coach worked with her on learning how to bail out of the handstand so then it didn't seem so scary once she knew what to do.

Do you watch your foot land? One thing that really seemed to help my dd when she was first learning it was to look for your first foot so you know if you are "on" - if you are afraid of going over, then do the handstand at the end of the beam so you know you can just turn and land on your feet if you go over.
