Hey everyone!
In the last couple of weeks I've developed a fear of doing back walkovers on high beam, for no reason at all. They've always made me a bit nervous, but I do them every practice and it hasn't been a problem until now. It seems to have started when I began training round-off back tucks on floor which freaked me out a bit also. I can't really see how to two are connected though. I read those posts by dunno about it being vestibular, but I haven't grown or gained weight or anything so I'm at a bit of a loss.
My real question is if I should just push through the fear and get back up on the high beam or work back up to it from floor? I'm not terrified to the extent that I refuse to do it, I'm just worried that I'll go into it too fast and miss the beam.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated, thanks!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
