Women Mental Blocks

[bluegoldbeauty]

My DD has a mental block at floor due to Twisties. Since the beginning of this week she also isn’t able to do any Akroelements on beam or flip on vault. Any Tips?

Try to avoid making her feel pressured. Don't ask her about it or otherwise bring it up (but be willing to talk about it if she brings it up), don't offer any rewards or punishments. The best thing a parent can do about a mental block is to do nothing; if the athlete feels any pressure from her parents, that will make the block worse.
