Hi everyone.! I'm hoping for some advice. My daughter is 10 and has had her backhand spring series for 2 years. She's been struggling on and off for a little over a year with her confidence in her tucks. When she does them they are gorgeous and high. She's never fallen or hurt herself doing them. (Running tuck, running band handspring tuck). This Thursday night she had a tumble class and refused to throw her tuck even with a spot standing there. Then Friday night at her tumble class, she refused to throw even a round off back handspring. I'm at a loss when the night before she was throwing front walkover, round off backhand spring stepout turn round off back handspring. She can't tell me what her issue is. She was crying Friday night.
She just says she doesn't know. I asked her if she doesn't want to do cheer anymore. She says she does. I even told her she could get cut from her team (which is very true) and that didn't encourage her to throw anything. I literally watched her do round offs all night. I know the other moms thought I was so mean sending her back out to keep trying when she was crying but I didn't think she should just give up. I hate not knowing how to help her.
Help! Thanks in advance!
