mental

A lot of girls on my team have gotten mental blocks, and I want to encourage and help them, but I want to make sure that I am not making it worse.. Its just really frusturating and hard to watch. What do ya'll think I should do?

Over the summer at tumbling, I got really confident and finally could throw a standing back handspring. Then one week we had to throw them on the hard ground, I'd only done that twice and that was 2 weeks before. I convinced myself I still could and when I went to do it, fell right on my head...

Okay, so I'm a high school cheerleader and I got my back handspring down. The problem is that I can do it perfectly with a spotter, and perfectly around a few people w/o a spotter. But when I get around my full team, I freak out and it takes me awhile to actually do it on command . I stand there...

Hi everyone, so I have had my standing tuck off and on for about 5 or 6 months now. Recently I have been having a mental block when I have to do it on the floor by myself. With a spotter standing there ,I can do it perfectly but when they step away I get really nervous and I set the tuck back...

Does anybody have any tips on how to get rid of mind blocks? I have on right now on my round off tuck/ round off backhand spring tuck. It is so frustrating and I am on a level three team this year and I was put in the routine for tumbling and I am so nervous for the tumbling, I've been able to...

Hey all-I'm sure its been covered a gazillion times, but my CP is seriously struggling with a mental block with her bhs. She got started in allstar late-she'll be 13 in September. Since last year she's been working on her bhs, and since about April she's "had" it according to her tumbling coach...

So I did my very first BHS today (after starting cheer in June) and my tumbling coach said that I'm terrified in the air. Problem is, I don't think I'm scared. I'm thinking "sit, arch, hollow." So is it possible for my body to be scared and not my mind? If so, any tips to help?

Kinda pathetic. I know, but I can't get it. I can almost land a front tuck but I can't do a simple cartwheel! Help!! I get to like the handstand position and flop on my face. I have muscle, I was a base half my first season before I got hurt.

I've had a mental block on my back handspring since my gymnastics days - I fell on my head hard doing one and got a concussion. I know I'm capable of doing one but I don't know what to tell myself to get it back. I've been working on getting my strength up, but what should I be doing next? I've...

Does anyone have any tips to help over come a really bad mental block? I've been working on my full for almost a year and I did it by myself 10 or 11 times and now I'm scared to death of them! Please help. Please comment any tips!

So i'm only relatively new to cheer and i was at tumbling last night and my cheer coach really badly wants to get a double full in my tumbling. so i was practicing 1 1/2 twist. and finally when i went for the double i did on good one and then when i went for my second one i slipped slightly...

Has anyone tried hypnosis to get over a tumbling block? I have had a block for about 5 years and my friend recently told me it might be a good idea to try hypnosis. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

Can anyone please offer me some advise on my mental block? It's gotten to the point where I'm almost in tears due to being really frustrated at myself. I've been cheering for 6 and no joke, my best tumbling skill that i can do properly is a cartwheel. I can do other skills like round offs and...

So I am not a professional on mental blocks but I have had a few lately and was able to overcome them. I wanted to share my thoughts on how to overcome them and what they are. When I ever had a mental block before, I noticed that right before i would go to throw, my heart would start to race and...

Ever since I started cheer three years ago, I have mental blocked on tumbling. Granted, I was 13 when I started, so I was older than most people when they start cheering. This past may, I finally got my standing and roundoff back handspring. By the summer, I had jumps to handspring, standing and...
