Struggling With Mental Blocks?!

[love.fierce01]

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 helps!!

Thanks for posting this!! We had a girl last year who had a mental block RIGHT BEFORE NATIONALS. If I recall, she wouldnt throw her bh even once the whole last week of practice. At nationals, a few hours before we went on I had to keep reminding her that she has done it a million times and she wont hit anyone. Over and over and over. I finally got her to throw it, and from that point on she was fine. Mental blocks are tough, so its good to have something to help deal with them! Thank you!

this is great! there was a girl on my team last year who is so so talented and her body was so strong and capable of throwing a double but wouldnt even twist without someone ALWAYS being there.
