Mental Block in cheerleading
I've been a competative cheerleader for 4 years, I cheer on my schools squad currently. I used to throw a handspring layout as my running, and a standing three handspring tuck as my standing tumbling. All the sudden, I freak out at tumbling class, and I've never tumbled since. (It's been about 2 years) People make fun of me cause I'm the only one on the squad who doesn't tumble, I won't even throw a handspring, I just can't make myself do it. Tumbling classes had to stop when my dad got a few paycuts, so thats outa the question. What should I do to get my tumbling back, and get over my fear?

if your friends cheer too, have them spot you with back handsprings ect..in your yard. make sure its nothing to big for you to handle. also, if your coach can help you out before or after practices certain nights a week, it might be worth it. hope i helped!

i have the same problem . . when i go to tumble i freak out. you've just got to face your fears. to start out ask someone to spot you for 1 standing bhs & work up from there. the best thing to do is to go for it . . you have more chance getting hurt by freaking out about it than just going for it. i know it's hard not to be nervous just don't think about it too much & don't like stop half way through. if you're that good you'll get over no problem.

I am a cheerleader too and the same thing happened to me and I got scared..but the only way to get rid of your fears is to face them. So just do it and dont even think about it. Lemme know what happens..Good Luck and I hope I helped!

Heyy I had the same problem. I cheered for 6 years and I had all that till one day I fell and hit my head. I didn't do any tumblin till my last two yearz. Till some one told me that you have this and you need to face your fear don't let fear take over you. She also said take it slow at first. Don't just jump back into. Take your time.
