My DD is going on nine months of a serious mental block with back twisting. She used to have a beautiful 3/2 and then one day, just no longer could do it. Over the past nine months, she has repeatedly gotten it back for a day or two, just to lose it again for months. I think things are getting better because the periods of not being able to do it are gradually getting smaller. But there are still practices where she is deathly silent as we drive to the gym because she is so anxious about back twisting.
So why in the world did she fairly easily pick up her front full? She throws it consistently....no fears, no anxiety. Are the mechanics different? Is the front lay easier to twist than the back lay? She's always been a strong tumbler, both front and back. So I'm trying to understand why she is having success with the front full while still fighting the back full demons.
Is this fairly common?
