My daughter is 9 and has been tumbling since April. She’s really good (she moved over from trampoline) and has quickly picked up skills to move up the groups in her gym.
We went on holiday in summer and she came back with the biggest mental block ever and just refused to flic. Her coaches have worked with her since then and built her back up to 3 flics on track and working on end skills on fast track.
She has ADHD but is not in any medication at the moment, and she really struggles with concentration and focus. So she has days where she gets stuck in her own head and won’t perform certain skills etc.
I’m looking for practical advice/solutions I can possibly share with her coaches to help her keep focussed? Or try to tune out the distractions. She LOVES tumbling, trains 4 x a week, but when she has days like today (said she got a song stuck in her head and so couldn’t do it) she gets upset and frustrated and I just want to know how to help.
Thanks
