nervous

I do rhythmic and for the past 4 years i have been dealing with extreme competition nerves.Every first routine i have done i have to run off the floor halfway through it to vomit. I have found it extremely embarrasing and havecome to a point of being nervous because of beinng nervous. I...

So DS is having wrist arthroscopic surgery next week. They said 30 to 45 minutes under local anethesia. I am so nervous!!! It is the last hope for him to be able to continue gymnastics. I pray it works! DS only wants to be in the gym, but until he is better, he is not going....we all agreed...

This is my fourth year in gymnastics & will be my third year competing. I will be competing as a 16 year old P3 or P4 (comparable to level 7 or 8 I believe). Competition season starts in January & my birthday is in December. I have the most terrible awful competition nerves EVER. I get very...

Does anyone have any advice for conquering nerves? I've always been a very nervous child and a huge worrywart but it has gotten worse as I have gotten older. I'm talking about throwing up before competitions and not being able to sleep for nights before because I'm nervous for them. It never...

i am SO nervous for every practise! i don't know why? and it's really annoying because i know i am better but at the gym it just doesn't work. like i can hold my handstands waaay longer at home then at gym. are you guys nervous for practise too? or were you? what can i do against it?

HI, I have posted before about this struggle but each meet this season has gotten progressively worse. My DD is 8 and this is her first season to compete. She had some sort of mental block coming off of CHristmas break and went from doing level 6 tumbling skills to barely being able to do level...

Sigh, I need to calm down! Dd has had such a good year and I really want her to do well at states. I don't care about placements, just that she hits her routines. She has struggled big time at state meets in the past, in fact last year she came in last for her age group. She (and all...

As we head into the spring meet season that culminates in our state championships, I decided to talk with my daughter to see where she was at mentally. I asked her if she was nervous heading into meet season. She laughed and said, "Dad, I only got nervous for my very first meet." I was just...

I have my first meet of the season this weekend and I'm sort of freaking out! I get so nervous during warm up compete! My heart pounds like crazy, my hands get all sweaty, I feel lightheaded and my head hurts, and not just a little, a bad headache. I also seem to almost shake? Like when I don't...

Every meet it is like this for me. My dd is in her 2nd year competing (L5 last year, L6 this year). We will be leaving in a bit for her first meet of the season and I'm just SO nervous. Her L6 team is really big (17 girls! That seems big to me) and there are so many in her age group and many...

DD, 7, just finished her second meet today. She placed 4th on floor, 3rd on vault, and 2nd on beam and bars. This is her second year competing, and nerves are starting to catch up to her. Last year, meets were always fun and she always looked forward to them. She has been worrying about the...

DD has her very first meet this weekend, I am so nervous! I was a competitive gymnast for a very long time and was rarely nervous. DD is a happy go lucky child and nothing seems to bother her, so the nerves are all mine and all new! Please tell me I am not the only one!

I think my son has acid reflux. I'm going to try to get into Dr. today. He has been dealing with occasional heartburn for a few years now but we always forget to ask the Dr. about it during his well visits. He often has heartburn before a meet and it is always just after he is done eating...

im just starting intermediate rec-op and im super excited! but im also nervous because all the rest of the rec-op girls have been training rec-op through the summer and i have been training pre rec-op! im scared that i will not be abel to keep up with them! im also nervous about...

I'm just wondering, what do you guys do for nerves before a meet? My last meet, I was so worked up, that I messed up super easy skills on bars, it was a little embarrassing! So how do you cope? It didn't help that I had to wait for what felt like forever before I was ok'd to go

I have been practicing a round-off back handspring with a spotter on the tumbling floor and track for the last month. And each week I am improving, and I am pretty sure that I can do it by myself now. The substitute coach that was with us last week thinks I should try it by myself, but I am a...

My daughter is 7 years old and just joined the gymnastics team at her gym. She was on "pre-team" and was asked to work out with the team, and before I knew it she was asked to compete in the upcoming meet and is now a member of the team. The gym owner recommended that she participate in the...

This is dd's 4th yr of competing (11yrs old) and her anxiety over meets seems to be getting worse. I am looking for some approaches to help her. I know there are some motivational and mind block audio tapes out there. Just don't know if its the way to go. She says she feels a lot of pressure and...

Hi, I think I'm going to USTGC camp this summer with one other teammate. I'm super nervous about attending this camp. I have general anxiety disorder and I get panic attacks when I'm away from home trying to fal asleep... the fact that Im not allowed to talk to my parents while there is killing...

States are this weekend and Emma is very nervous. She was really, really nervous in the fall and messed up on her first 2 events - beam and vault. Ended up doing well on bars and floor though and it turned out fine. So tomorrow afternoon she competes and first thing this morning she started...
