Creating Breakthroughs with Athletic Performance and Sports Injury Recovery
With gymnastics and cheer seasons up and running I thought it timely to re-publish this article on understanding mental blocks to tumbling and backward skills.

When an athlete cant do backward skills or tumble it is not because they don’t want to. It is because their brain won’t let them.
Help I Can’t Tumble! Working Through the Mental Blocks to Tumbling
I just watched Adam Rippon's long program from the 2018 Winter Olympics. It was set to Cold Plays "O". I loved it then and I love it more now. To me it represents the excellence, beauty and mastery of sport absent of politics and ego. It was pure.

My daughter is a freshman in HS and wants to quit Varsity Cheer next Fall. She says “It creates so much stress, anxiety, and unnecessary worry “. She had a scary experience when throwing her tuck at practice one day, and now has a mental block . In addition to her cheer stresses she has all the other pressure of being a teen.
I’d like to find out how I can help her work this through.
Hi, Thanks for writing. We get inquiries about mental blocks in cheer all the time. Bad falls and injures are the first place we look. If you are local you can get her in to see me or my associate. Contact me through email. That is the best way to reach me. Also, read the responses I have made below as I answer similar inquiries.
