frustrated!!!!!!

[ilovegymnastics123]

Im so frustrated. i'm afraid of everything. There's lots of skills i know i can do, but for some reason, my mind just wont let me do it. I'm TERRIFIED of my vault, even though I know perfectly well that I can do it, and it's holding me back, A LOT. For some reason, there's always this little voice inside my head thats saying, "I WILL NEVER, EVER BE ABLE TO DO THIS. IT'S JUST TOO SCARY." It's really difficult, because I know how much more I could achieve if I wasn't so afraid. Its tough seeing everyone else in your training group get a skill, and you're the only one who can't do it because you're afraid. I know that i'm not reaching my full potential, and I can only imagine how much better I would be if i wasn't so fearful. And it's been like that every since I was little. I wasn't like most kids who didn't have a worry in the world and would just go for a skill. IT'S JUST SOOO FRUSTRATING.

I know you don't want to hear this, but sometimes, people who are very afraid don't have the true potentional to become great. I had a lot of talent, but was always afraid. I decided to quit and coach instead, because I felt it was, I guess, my "calling."
If it's getting really hard for you, it may be time to try a new sport.
I'm not saying you have to, but if practice isn't going to be fun anymore, there isn't too much point.
