Hi! I would not post here if I wasn't desperate. I'm in this new all star team and almost everyone has tumbling so I have a lot of pressure to get my back handspring. After a lot of work over the summer, nothing could help me get over my mental block and I could never throw it on my own. I...
Ok so this past week my best flyer all the sudden is having mental blocks on her full downs, full baskets etc anything with a twist..Nothing happened to her no fall, nothing traumatic and when I ask whats going on she just says she doesn't know..She doesn't fully commit to the twist and will get...
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...
This previous March I overrotated in my layout and landed on me head/back. I blacked out for a minute and ended up with a concussion. I was out of cheer for a month and I have done layouts since, but I'm still noticing lots of trouble with my memory and ability to comprehend things. I have been...

I have to throw my sbhs in the opening of our routine. I can throw it by myself but once we add it into the routine, sometimes it hits, but sometimes it doesn't. What can I do to make it more consistant? Are there drills I can do to change this?
On a different note, I am in the front for jumps...
I cheer for allstar and high school and this is gonna sound really crazy, but I have a mental block on my roundoffs (mostly because I did one on the gym floor at school because my coach asked me to and I forgot the gym floor was dead floor and it did not end well) and I'm a level 4 athlete, so...
I am on a medium coed level 5 team and I have no problem with the skills I have but I have recently developed a strange fear of the tumble track and rod floor. I need those tools to further develop my tumbling so any advice?
Hi everyone,
This is Coach Sara, but not the teach-you-how-to-tumble or teach-you-how-to-stunt coach. Instead, I'm a Mental Toughness Trainer who helps cheerleaders work on things like getting more confident and working through fears or mental blocks. I'm excited to be here and hope to become a...
12 yo CP has blocked on and off for several years. She was throwing a full last spring and was blocked by the end of the summer. Currently, she will throw a punch front but is inconsistent with all backwards tumbling right down to her bhs. It's been an increasingly stressful time for her.

Hi, I'm 16 and I just started cheerleading last year as a freshman. Because I was so new to cheer, I felt like I was holding the team back a lot so I began practicing jumps, tumbling and dancing for hours by myself everyday, and got into varsity the next year.
This January, all the practicing...
Here's a scenario: athlete has been working towards a standing tuck for months at the gym they have grown up in. During a class, a coach does not spot enough and the athlete busts. As a result, the athlete does not trust the coach anymore and is scared to throw the skill with anybody else for...
So awhile ago I did a roundoff backtuck and completely bailed and damaged all the ligaments and muscles in my legs.
I think the reason I bailed is because I put shoes on. I did gymnastics prior to cheer, and generally prefer tumbling barefoot over my huge Kaepa shoes.
I can throw standing...
Hey everyone!
I seem to have the worst timing in the world, so of course with tryouts right around the corner, I've developed a mental block that just won't go away. I've had tumbling blocks before and have gotten over them pretty easily, but this one is different. A bit of back story to...
