Ok, my CP was dropped out of the same stunt 3 times in the last 2 weeks on to her head. Needless to say she has become fearful of this stunt. She is 9 and on a Junior 3 team. The stunt is a low to high lib full down. She literally hit the ground with the back of her head. Her bases are catching her but the back spot doesn't so her head nails the mat. Does anyone have any tips on how to help her overcome the fear? Until this, she's been the flyer who always hit her stunts. She's even having trouble doing the full down now. She's never been fearful of stunts or tumbling (she's 9 so still fearless until now) and we are 4 weeks away from the 1st competition and 5 days away from our showcase. You can see in her face and body position in the air how nervous she is. The fear is affecting all her stunts, not just this one. My heart breaks for her because she's so upset with herself.
