Okay, so i have to have my roundoff backhandspring before aprial 16..cause that is when tryouts are. Well see i have been working on my roundoffbackhandspring for like over a year and i have it. my coach very lightly spots me and she realllllyyy wants me to through it but... i have a HUGE mental blocck! PLease help me because i have been working so hard and i really want to make cheerleading because all of my friends are on the squad and if i dont have my roundoffbackhand spring i wont make it ....so HELP!

Answer
Just pretend your coach is there right next to you while you are doing your backhandspring. If you pretend your coach is there that might help you not think about doing by yourself. Or you could just of something else like squeeze or point toes and you wont think about omg im doing this by myself. Hope that helps you
