My worst skill has to be my tumbling in cheerleading, coming from a dance background I only began tumbling when I was 18 years old. I worked really hard on my tumbling, but unfortunately had a nasty injury to my elbow while warming up. All my hard work came crumbling down, and lost all of my strength in that arm, plus obviously my confidence.
I slowly worked back into it and was regaining confidence and did the same injury again.
I'm now going on 23 years old and pretty much back to where I was before I injured myself those years ago, but still have 0 confidence and feel like I will never progress past that point. My issue is I have hyper extensive elbows (really badly), so any skills involving weight on my arms, my elbows can sometimes play up (particularly the left).
I'm doing 2 privates a week at the moment and slowly getting there, but my question is if my elbows are dodgy, will this keep preventing me? Any tips on improving my tumbling? Strength work?
Anything would be amazing.
