Today, we were doing front tucks on floor. Except we were jumping off a springboard, onto a really squishy mat, AND we were being spotted.
I was so scared when it was my turn. I don't know what came over me, but I began to cry. The coaches told me it would be okay, they would spot me. And I knepw they would! I ALMOST went but then suddenly stopped right before the springboard and almost puked. I was given a 5-minute break and then rushed back for bars.
I am so mad at myself! I need to learn this and I have done these WITHOUT a springboard and WITHOUT a spot before, but I still couldn't do it! I need this to get on team, and if I don't get on team by the end of the summer, I am forced to quit gymnastics. {Kinda hard to explain why.}
I am just so mad at myself. I should have done it! I am considering quitting gymnastics. Too many things have been scaring me recently that shouldn't scare me. I am just not mentally built for the sport.
Probably should have posted this in vent...too late.
