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.

Cheerleading - mental block


Expert: Katlin - 5/10/2007

Question
Hi,
i'm jordyn and i have an issue. im an allstar cheerleader, and im 14 years old. i have my roundoff backhandspring perfectly on the floor, but not mmy standing. i can do my standing perfectly on the tumble track or with someone spotting me on the floor but not by myself. i have tried it before by myself, and my arms just dont seem strong enough for a standing and i dont know why. its really starting to bother me and its been going on for 2 years now.i just wont do it by myself on the floor. why not?

Answer
Hi Jordyn..
  There is no real answer for tht .. only you can answer it for your self .. i am guessing it is mental .. so .. tell yourself someone is spotting you or something when i had mental blocks i always had to do tht !!
GOOD LUCK
Sincerly,
 Katlin, <3
