Some background: I'm a 30 year old adult trying gymnastics (I never did it as a kid) I've been taking 1-2 days a week classes for almost three years. I'm taking it nice and slow cause these old bones and joints can't handle too much.
I really want to get my ROBHS, but I always round-off pause sometimes a small fraction of a second and sometimes a whole second before do my back handspring. My coach just tells me to do it a bunch until the times and then the pausing will go away, but I've had this pausing issue for since Jan/Feb. (The reason I pause is because I'm scared and everything feels so fast! Although most of gymnastics feels that way.) Anything else I can do besides just do it a a bazillion times.
Also...Any adult gymnasts out there?
