Hi,
My daughter has been in gymnastics for several years now. She is a very conservative and almost always the last in getting the skills requirements for each level because of fear. Physically she is strong. She made it to TOP Diamond level two years ago and Team A last year. However, she struggling in trying to get all the required skills due to fear. She has been staying in level 6 while most of her local competitors in other clubs has been moving on to level 7. Any suggestions in how to handle the fear factor? Last year we got her through one of the floor skill requirement by doing a private session with one of her coaches and that seems to work. However, this year we get her through multiple private sessions and she still could not get by her fear. Any suggestions or recommendation that will help her overcome her fear? How do you teach a nine year old (she will be ten next month) to overcome her fear?
Thanks,
KH.
