I searched this topic and really couldn't find an answer -
CP just started cheer a year ago with very little tumble experience. She has been working on BHS and ROBHS for 6 months. Several months back had progressed on cheese mat, no spot on standing; did a ROBHS but landed on knees without spot. Then won't do any of it without a spot since (she did eat the mat on the standing once.)
I know the kids have to progress when they are ready, but I just don't know how much more money and time I can invest in privates. Coach says she is close and barely touching on spots. It's not the coach - other kids are progressing. She is frustrated, but I guess the frustration hasn't been worse than the fear.
How do I encourage CP to attack this skill? I tell her 20 seconds of courage brings greatness (she doesn't buy it). The pressure at the gym is there and I think once she believes in herself and she does the skill it will build her confidence.
