Question
ok well i just made my cheerleading squad for my 8th grade year and the coach is very detrmend to get all of the girls on the squad to do backhandsprings. I can do a back walk over and have not tried a backhandspring yat. I know I have the athletic abilty to do this but i am scared that my hands will buckle. Our next practice we are going to a local gym and we will learn to do backhandsprings. What can make me over come my fear?

Answer
Well I dont know why your scared.  Just keep your hands straight and you should be fine.  It isnt as hard as it looks.  You probably wont get it on ur first try but dont give up.  Its not scary its just like a back walk over but u just sit jump and throw lol.  But hopefully you get it reply back w/any other ?s thanks.
