My dd has been struggling with fear of the beam for about a year now. She has been trying very hard to get passed it but she is feeling very defeated. On the nights they work on beam she is very upset. She says the coaches are mad at her and spent the practice yelling at her. She has said she just cant do it. It is mostly the cartwheel that is causing the problem. Now she is saying she is done and wants to quit.
She is doing very well on the other 3 events. She scores low 9s or high 8s on those. She is constantly improving on those events. She has no fear of the flyaway on bars or any tumbling. On those nights she comes home very happy.
I have tried to be very encouraging. I have told her she doesnt want to quit. She is just frustrated. She says the beam will hold her back. She has already been told by the coach she will have a tough time with the bwo on beam because she isnt flexible enough. I just dont know what to tell her when she is wanting to quit. When is it time to move on?
