Mental Blocks

[NitroCheerMomx2]

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 supportive without getting frustrated?

My CP is trying to get her BHS, and has a major mental block/fear of the standing BHS. I found a great site that talks about them and how to support your cheerleader. The site is by Debbie Love and is: fortheloveoftumbling.com, and the specific article is called "Breaking Free".

Hope this helps!
