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?

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...

How do you get rid of a mental block quickly? i have a terrible mental block. i have been cheering all my life but recently i became terrified to do any tumbling (even with a spot) but now my coach is saying if i dont tumble im off our competition team for school.. HELP!

Is it fair for someone who has a mental block (not throwing ANY tumbling at all) to be on a level 5 team? IMO I think that they should be put on a lower level team until they recover from their block.

Something that helped me a lot was "Breaking Free" by Debbie Love! It is about 4 pages long and explains pretty much exactly what you should do. It helps a lot! I hope if you have been struggling with mental blocks this helps. You may have to read it a few times, but trust me it works! Hope this...

I'm 14 and I started cheering when I was 12. All my coaches say that I'm super super close to my back handspring and that I would have it if I just did it. But I have a hugeee mental block. Sometimes it's so bad that I'm do scared to do my BHS on the wedge with a spot. It has gotten...

I've cheered for 8 years. I had an injury 2 seasons ago and I have not cheered since. I want to go back for my senior year of high school but I have a mental block on tumbling. I can only do a roundoff now. All my flying skills I can still do to a level 4. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks :)

I was meandering through different gyms tryout packets, as I was just curious. And I was reading one gyms packet and it said, "No mental blocks…they are destructive and contagious…if your child has a mental block, your child may be asked to leave practice and up to possibly being removed from...

Did you ever have a mantal block? Why did you get it? What were you afriad to do? Did you get over it? How? Sorry I'm just curious because I've know people with mental blocks and I want to see if anyone else was afraid because of the same reasons.

I'm going through a pretty bad mental block so anyone who has gone through one or could help me out, please PM me(:

As a parent, it's heartbreaking to see a child work hard to achieve new cheer skills ... only to lose them to mental blocks. Has anyone else either experienced this first-hand as an athlete OR been the parent of an athlete with a mental block? What would you say is the best way to be...

Hi i was a level 5 tumbler till about last May when i over rotated a layout full and landed head first and got a concussion. A month later when i came back i realized that i didnt feel like i remembered how to tumble and now ive been tumbling level 3 for a while but the only skills that im not...

I've had a mental block for a couple months now. Are there any ideas on how to get all of my tumbling back?

I finally got over mine tonight after two and a half years and it was the best feeling in the whole entire world! <3 I was crying hahah :) How about you? What's the biggest thing you've ever conquered in cheer? :)
