Any tips on how I can help mymflyer become confident with her twist down. She has it but when she is asked to throw it, she doesn't. Thanks

What do you mean she has it but doesn't throw it?

I think she means that she knows how to do the skill and has done it before, but now she is too afraid? Maybe she means like a mental block type of situation?? That would be my guess.

Hard to say because everyone is different. I would just try to get her confidence levels up letting her know that like you all believe in her and know she can do it. Also she needs to know that no matter what would happen, if she does it or if she would stop mid-twist, that her bases and backspot will catch her and not let anything happen. There's really only so much you can tell her. As much as she might know you all believe she can do it, she wont do it until she's ready and until she trusts in and believes in herself. You just need to be supportive no matter what.

I had this issue with one of my flyers. We had to really show her that we could cradle her high from any stunt when she was not twisting. She started to trust us more which led her to want to twist... Hope this helps. Mental blocks are hard because everyone is different... Good luck!

other than what everyone else suggested you can have her practice doing it on a trampoline, onto a squishy mat, or into a pit
