Hi all! I'm new to these boards. I am a mother to a 14 year old girl who has developed a mental block. About three years ago, she tore her ACL while tumbling in the gym. After surgery and physical therapy, she returned to the gym excited to tumble again. Over the course of a few weeks, she became more fearful and started performing less and less skills. About a year and a half ago, she just stopped tumbling all together. She wants to tumble again so badly and also wants to try out for another allstar team. We have tried private lessons, hypnosis, and reading tons of articles on mental blocks. She is heartbroken and so discouraged. Have any of you had success overcoming mental blocks? If so, what worked for you? I thought about trying a sports psychologist but don't have a clue how to find one who has been successful in treating athletes with mental blocks.
