About Katlin Expertise I can answer all kinds of questions that are about tumbeling, stunting, flying, cheering, dancing, flexabilty, motions, and just getting back in shape. I can't answer questions about the drill team. I was on an all-star team for 7 years and am currently on my high school team which I have been on for 3 years, and I am currently captain of my high school squad. On my all-star team I was a flyer, a base, and a tumbler. I would be glad to help you, so you may give me some of your questions and I would be glad to give you as much information as I can.
Experience I have cheered for 7 years for an all star team. We traveled out of state. I was a flyer but I know how to base and backspot.
Organizations I am on an all-star team and high school team.
Publications In the newspaper.
Education/Credentials I am captain of the girls basketball cheerleading squad.
Awards and Honors Nationals more than once, many different places.
Question Hi, i am having issues with my standing back hand-spring. my coaches say i have it by myself and that i need to try to do it, but every time they tell me to my back hand spring i freeze and i suddenly can't throw it. i will stand there forever and ask for a light spot, but nobody will spot me! i have been going every monday through thursday for tumbling and my coach says that if i don't do it i will move down a team (i do competitive cheer). i don't know what to do. -desperate for help!
Answer Hi Lindsay,
What i would have your coaches do is have their hand on your back.. then when you start to throw it move away.. cuz this will make you think you are getting a spot but they aren't helping you.. and eventually you will not need them at alll..
GOOD LUCK.. LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES OR IF YOU NEED MORE HELP!!
