Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some guidance from parents, coaches, or gymnasts who’ve been through something similar.
My daughter has recently developed a lot of fear on beam. She told me she’s scared of falling and “splitting” on it, and you can really see the fear in her routine. she’s shaky and hesitant. It's hard to watch, she looks tense from the moment she gets on.
For those who have dealt with this before,
What helped your gymnast work through fear of falling or getting hurt?
Are there things parents can do at home (mentally or physically) to support ?
Any drills, progressions, or mental strategies that helped your kids feel safer?
I just want to help her feel confident again. Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you!
