    Parents Region 8 regionals - breakdown?

    I think the cut off was around 36.225. My daughter competed Saturday and after multiple injuries and mental blocks (beam especially), did great and qualified with a 36.550. I messed up though because they competed beam last and guess I was so nervous, thought I recorded her beam but didnt! Eek...

    Beam Mental Block

    UPDATE: I originally posted towards the end of September about my daughter's BHS on beam mental block. Through working with Gregg Pruett, http://www.thementaltoughnesstrainer.com/ she is making great strides and building confidence. She is now doing the skill on the medium beam, no extra mats...

    Beam Mental Block

    These are all great ideas and suggestions! I appreciate all the feedback so much! Its hard for me to know exactly what mats they are using unless she tells me. Trying to not ask too many questions, I really don't know. If I meet with her coaches again, maybe they can explain in more detail where...

    Beam Mental Block

    Im not even sure why they think she can "just do it". She wants to! It seems this is so common but I dont know of any other gymnast at our gym with the extreme case as mine. She's very strong willed which is why it surprises me her will isn't pushing her to do it? I certainly don't know what...

    Beam Mental Block

    It sounds like your daughter eventually overcame it? Did it just happen one day or was it a progression? I think mine feels the pressure of not competing beam again as a level 7. I know of the alternate skills but she's not confident in doing the RO. The positive side is she's doing great on...

    I really appreciate your encouragement and insight. Thats awesome that your daughter/coaches have found a work around to that level. Very encouraging! I have backed off and dont bring it up, as hard as it is. I do think I will set up that meeting soon to get a better idea what her coaches are...

    Picking her up from practice now. Every time waiting to hear, Mom I did my BHS on the high beam! Praying someday soon!

    Beam Mental Block

    It seems they were working with her more when they reopened the gym but now that they are focusing on routines and upcoming meet season, maybe not as much? I may need to schedule a meeting with her coach to understand more. I let my daughter tell me about her practice and walk on eggshells on...

    Beam Mental Block

    I know she's doing on a beam with stacked mats but not sure if it's the high beam. I think maybe not since she said they can only use stacked mats twice a week and the coach is telling her to do it on high beam when running through her routine. Shes doing the routine but no skills!

    Beam Mental Block

    Not sure if she's doing them properly. Since Covid, I only get to see when she has a video of something she's done well. In general she isn't a scared kid. Loves rollercoasters, zip lining etc. To my knowledge they haven't worked any front skills on beam. Its tough because anytime I bring up...

    She is 13. Problem is she also had an issue splitting the beam doing RO so she's fearful of that skill too! I know this is common but oh so frustrating!

    Beam Mental Block

    My daughter is L7, repeating this year since she's had a mental block of backwards skills on high beam for a year and a half. Last time she did BHS successfully was L6 Regionals in April 2018. Since being back in the gym from Covid, she will do it on a lower stacked beam but terrified when...
