I get super nervous before competing especially on beam and idk what I can do!! Warm ups always go so well but once saluting I just freak out and fall on the simplest skills plzzz let me know if you have any tips

Visualize your routines. Practice like its always a meet, so in a meet you can just do what you do in practice

I recommend reading the books "Flipping Awesome Gymnast" by Amy twigs, and articles by gymnastics HQ. These articles, and books can help you gain confidence competing, and as a gymnast in general.

Listen to motivational music and visualize before meets. Also try using some positive self talk before your routines. Remember, it’s a SPORT, not life or death. Don’t psych yourself out over it.
