I have been cheerleading for 7 years. I have gone to the hospital pleanty if times. I broke my arm 3 times and my knee 2 times. I am a flyer and i am always scared my bases are going to drop me and im going to hurt myself. After all the times at the hospial i keep getting more and more scared. Mostly all you got to do it belive in yourself. Belive that, that was one mystake and there is not a huge change of it happening again. Just belive that you can do it. I belive that you can too.
Good Luck

It's a psychologicial thing, when you are ready to fly or do the twist outz, then do it, but do it if you can trust your stunt group and most importantly yourself! Hope This Helpz! Good Luck! God Bless! Beeyes! ~1ne~

Okay, you definately need to trust your bases and especially your spotters. If you have confidence that they will protect you'll be all set. I was a flyer and whenever we would try something new the whole squad would make a circle around the stunt group that was practicing what they would be doing and they would all spot. Our squad was like a big family so it was very easy to feel safe when all of them were standing there with their hands up to protect me if I fell. Another thing is you should practice-practice-practice so you feel very confident when infront of a big group so that when it comes time to the big thing no ones as nervous and they know what theyre doing so well that they could do it in their sleep.

U'll get more comfortable w/ it, and have more confidence in it as u continue 2 practice w/e u might be doing. This might b slightly different, but in gymnastics they always tell u that if ur afraid, u'll never b able 2 do wut u are trying 2. Maybe if u can just relax and not b so afraid of doing wut ur doing, then it'll b a lot easier 2 accomplish than if ur all tense and nervous. Good luck!

Trust the people you are with! that ALWAYS works for me.. like i barly go up wit ppl i dont know!! exspeically that kind of stuff.. start off with cradling for warm ups and then work up to that kind of stuff! it helps!

Sometimes you just have to tell your bases what you want or what you need to be stable or more comfortorable in the air. Make sure as soon as your going up that you stay tight the whole way as do you do them more they well get way easier.

hey girl! im a flyer too i know the nerves you get! just keep trying your best! dont blame yourself for it either it brings your confidence level way down, also get to know your base and be friends let them know that you are nervous about going back up and keep in mind if they drop you they are the ones that have to the extra laps (or w/e your coach may do to them) but try to overcome your nerves ppl expect you to b nervous.. show 'em your stronger than that! flying is the best part!

im a flyer too in cheerleading, the first thing to flying is to trust your bases and backspot. and ALWAYS have a front spot when doing difficult stunts. so you have to trust your group and all promise to eachother that no matter what, the flyer comes first. thats prolly it to making you feel comfortable!
