This is a component of a floor routine l have done in the past but now find myslef scared to death to do it.
Talking with different people realize that this is a phycological block but am unable to get past this..any thoughts, tricks, or ideas?
Thanks

Hmm...well sometimes l have found in the past, that l have little idiosyncracys that help me get over a trick. Like for example, to get my full, l couldnt do round off back hand back layout full, l HAD to do round off whip back back handspring to lay out full..and hten after l got htat iwas able to do the full out of just the round off backhandspring. And l was SOO afraid of my round off on the high beam, so what l realized is, if l did a cartwheel but landed with both my feet together, l was not so scared. l would not push off my hands lke a round off, but l was still getting closer to it. Then l did little steps at a time. Even though they made seem weird do them anyway. Also, almost in a way start over. Even though u could have hte floor skill on trampoline, pretend like u r learning it for hte first timea dn think of all of hte times u have dont hte skill, & how many times u have been safe & u havne't gotten hurt. Good luick:)

p.S. l hate tumbling! lol

do it on the trampoline. and if 1 more person says the tramp messes up tumbling, im gonna kill someone

l have had a mental block on alot of things, & it helps the most if u just do not think about it, & just do it. Try getting a couple of spots on it befor u do it again, just in case, & if u still wo not do it with a spot then u just gotta ask someone to stand there for u when u do it by yourself. You just have to shut ur eyes & think really hard about something. Even if it is the thing that u r doing, such as the technique. It helps alot. Hope this works out well for you(:

Start iver with it, same as you did when learning it. It will come back easily enough. Just remember to, when you throw soemthing like that, do not go half way or you get hurt. l was the same with backhandsprings when l was a kid because l was dropped by my spot once. l actually decided to focus on learning a standing back instead. If you are in a optional level, you might want to focus on another skill to replace ti with.

tell yourself you can do it. think positive. this has happened to me before. also try doing l with an encouraging adults help. then practice on the trampoline and tumble track. l hope you get the skill back.

l had this same problem with back handsprings on beam. The first time l tried l did it & had it for about a week & then l lost them, it got to the point where if l even though about doing them l would break down. It got so bad l could not even do it on a low beam with a spot but now l have it. First u have to try to figure out what u r afraid of , then it will be easier to get over. Also, that small steps in getting it back, just going for it with out progressing into it will just increase frustration & make it harder to do. One of the hardest thing to do is just gather the courage & go for it step by step. It may seem u will never get it back but u will.

Well 3 summers in a row l was so scared to do my flight series on beam, but l was fine when it came to competition season. Weird l know. but what my coach made me do each time was start doing them were l felt comfortable. so l started on the low beam with paddle mats all around me & having my coach spot me. & then l gradually would get comfortable & start to take away some mats so on. so with floor u just have to start where u feel comfortable like if u scared of a round off back hand spring back hand spring, just do round off back spring not connecting it. on like a tumble track. & if u need a spot then ask. most coaches should be willing to work if u & just gradually work u way up. mental blocks r a huge part of this sport so dont feel like ur alone on this one. & remember dont get mad because that will just make things worse. & if u find yourself getting frustrated then just move on to something else & maybe go back to it later.
