Fear

[Deleted member 17723]

Hey guys
During the summer, I fell and straddled the beam while doing a cartwheel. I hit my head and may have gotten a minor concussion. Every since, I have been terrified to do cartwheels. Do you guys have any tips for me? Please help, it is so frustrating!

Do numbers to get confidence.
Floor on a line --> Low beam with mats --> Low beam without mats --> High beam/Medium beam with or without a mat layed over the beam --> Without the mat over the beam
Do a whole bunch at each "setting" until you feel confident.

And you can have a coach spot you.

With me its kinda funny, I don't let coaches spot me on really anything but bars and vault.

It just feels weird to me.

Me too I feel if they think I can do it then I can do it alone
