Off Topic Getting Over Fears Thread!!

[SuperGirlmlm]

I know there are threads about a certain skill, but I thought I'd start a thread about getting over fears in general. I'll start
For those of you that like to think skills through...
Visualize- See yourself doing the skill, how does if feel?
Break it down- focus on one thing at a time. ex. (flyaway) strong tap, let go, tuck, stay tight, spot landing

For those (like me) that over think the skill
Clear your mind- Just go for it!
Don't think, do!

For the pretenders
Pretend your coach is there spotting you

Tips for everyone!
-Stay positive
-DO NOT AVOID THE SKILL, IT'LL ONLY MAKE THE FEAR WORSE!!!!!
-Remember, your coach won't let you do the skill if they didn't think you can do it. Remember...They believe in you.
-Believe in yourself!
-Ask your teammates, they believe in you!
-Keep doing the skill over and over.

And, the most important thing, never, never, ever, give up! Just keep trying. You WILL get it if you keep trying.
