my biggest cheer pet peeve is people that insist that the coaches keep their mental blocked tumbling in the routine, if you cant throw it at practice you cant throw it at comp!
I cheered with one girl who used to have beautiful tumbling. She was a huge mental case and wouldn't throw anything anymore. Then at nationals she would throw it. Granted, it was only standing tumbling in the jump section and she was in the back so if she didn't it wasn't the end of the world, but still.
Everyone expected me to be like her, but nope, I had a real mental block. I wasn't throwing anything.
