Mental blocks are the worst! They come in all shapes and sizes. They sneak up on you when you least expect it. They pull you away from your goals. They can be overcome. Mental blocks may seem back but they can always be beaten with determination!
1. Tumbling Mental Blocks
This is the most common mental block. The feeling of flying backwards with little control is always scary but the feeling of landing on that mat and mastering the skill is way bigger than that fear ever was. The trick to getting on a tumbling mental block and to be confident. Knowing how to do the skill without physically doing is always great. Run through exactly what you have to do in order to get confidence. You can also think positive and not focus on the fear. Just know that falling isn't failing it's progressing. With every fumble you're closer to being able to tumble.

Just like the picture above says remember that you've worked way too hard to let a stunt fall. You have to trust your teammates in knowing that whatever happens if the stunt falls it will never hit the ground. 3. Before the Mat Mental Blocks Stepping onto the mat is so exciting and maybe nerve wrecking. This is a big block too, and is easy to get over. Just know that you have all of your sisters, teammates, and friends all there ready to rock that 2:30 on the floor. Mental Blocks suck but hey a door can always be opened even if it's lock. A wall can always be broken no matter how tall or thick. A mental block can be knocked to the ground with just a little cheer. Love, A Cheerleader |
