Making her stand on the beam until she does it sounds horrible to me. She will never get over the fear if that is all the coaches are doing for her. They need to take it back to the beginning. Do it on the floor, then floor beam, then low beam, lots of mats under high beam etc. If the coaches do not know how to help girls with mental blocks, I would find a new gym that does.no they make her stand on the bean until she does it, and she just won't go for it.
My dd had an injury after doing the bhs on the beam but was able to mostly overcome her fear by doing the method above. It fortunately only took about a month after she recovered from the injury which was 2 months. A year later, she had the same injury and decided she never wanted to it again. So, she switched gyms and to Xcel and has never been happier! She did miss her old gym friends that she was with for 5 years but in the long run, it was the best decision that she made.
