My daughter is 11 years-old and is starting her 7th season. She has been a flyer this entire time. Last year she stunted level 4 for the first time. The new skills, including the double down and baskets, proved to be difficult as her strength is not body awareness. Her major strength is flexibility, as she has a needle, etc. The problem now is that because of last season and the way last season was handled, she is now timid while flying. To add to the problems she has had vast changes in coaching and bases already this season. In addition, she is only practicing her stunting about half the time because they are switching her with another flyer during practice.

Can anyone give me any advice on how to get my flyer back, her timidness out and her confidence up? Have any other flyers had this experience? Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks
