ILY!
I have a mental block on nearly every Skill that goes backwards 😞
lina._gym oh my gosh me too like whenever I have to do a back walk over and I panic so I always want someone to spot me first I hate it
SAME
Ughh I can do a back walkover and I can’t do a back handspring unless it’s with my sister coach or by myself near my coaches
lina._gym same! It’s soooooo annoying!!!
same
I had a pretty bad mind block on my BHS for about 8 months and I just took a deep Breath and threw it and I got over my mind block and it was one of the best days that I ever had , and that same day I got my back tuck :)
Marissa Rebecca Great Job! I wish It was that easy for me :(
AWESOME! 👏🏻 👏🏻
I have a mind block on my back handspring and tryouts for cheer teams are in May I can do it with very little spot but every time I try to do it by myself I just can't.
same thing with me
Brayden Hill same
Brayden Hill me tooooo
Same
Brayden Hill same I can't even do it with a spot I did it twice the first time I landed it but the second time I bent my arms and fell on my neck now I'm just to scared but luckily I still made my middle school cheer team. (I did it on a trampoline)
This may sound crazy, but I had a mind block with stunting. I fell early in the season and been scared of stunting ever since. I don't tumble much, but thank you so much for this video. I made my JV high school cheer team and I'm ready to stunt again. Thank you Erin!🎀💛
Same but my flyer fell on me and was scared to stunt but now I got it down and made my highschool varsity team
That happened to me at the beginning of my first season because my flyer elbowed me so hard there’s a permanent bump on my nose 😂 I got over it though, and I won’t sugar coat it, I’ve been hit a lot since, but it’s worth it.
your eyes/makeup looks extra pretty in this video
Can you please do a video about how to improve your jumps? Thanks and love you!! xx
Yass
Please do!!!
I have had my standing tuck three times before but I keep losing it because of my mind. And I honestly just am sick and tired of having this. It really just brings me down when I can't do something because then it makes me second guess all of my skills and I just need to stop doing that. I just really want to get over it! Thank you for this video and I really hope this helps me get over it!
your skin is amazingly clear.. what do you use? :)
So I had my round off back handspring for a year now but now I'm scared to throw it! I will throw my standing but I won't connect my round off to my backhandspring!! Ugh it's so annoying.
The same thing is happening to me right now😔
Try doing a round-off, swinging, and then doing your back handspring. My friend had hers, and her round off back handspring back tuck and one day she suddenly lost it. Pretty soon you'll be able to do it. Lost of luck!
Bella Mendez me too!!
this is the most relatable video i’ve ever seen. the part where you want to cry from stress because tryouts are soon. i’ve done my roundoff back handspring back tuck multiple times. i watched fail videos, had 5 days without practice. and now i have a mental block. i really want to get over it.
You looked so cute in this video! Love your hair!
Can u do a video on how to improve jumps? Because your jumps r perfect 😍😍😍😍
These are great tips! I'm a gymnast but my mental block is tumbling related so this worked out:)
Thank you so much for your help!! I finally got my flip flop by myself and I got my round off flip flop with a spot and without pausing. Your videos really help a lot and I love them.. Thank you ❤️😘
Thank you so much. I’m trying to get my round off back tuck and it’s been mentally challenging for me. I’m just so used to doing a standing tuck but after watching this video I feel more confident in trying!
Drilling your basics is so true! I had a mind block on back handsprings and I kept doing round offs until I got them really high. High enough I could do round off tucks. I finally got my confidence back and no mental block! Back Handsprings are still rough (especially standing) but the confidence of a level 3 skill is nice.
This video was so helpful! Thank you so much Erin! Now to start getting over this round off handspring block! :)
i'm having a mental block over a standing tuck... that used to be my easiest skill! I'm just sooo worried and i just don't know what to do 😭
I just want to say thank you. This video is SOOOO helpful and hopefully at my private later today I'll be mostly over my mental block! Also your my favorite you tuber
Thank you sooooooo much your video helped me so much. I haven't gotten over my mind block yet but I feel more confident and sure of myself when I throw my tumbling
thanks for this video i really needed it so i can get over my mind blocks for my next competition on saturday 😭❤️
Thank you so much for making this video!!! I have such a bad mind block towards my back handspring, and have to get it by may😬 this is the most helpful video I’ve watched on this topic
My mental block is with my standing tuck, cartwheel tuck and rdhs tuck and it was really hard and is still really hard to over. Sometimes my teammates get made at me for not throwing my skills but they don’t understand I mental can’t do it. A few moths at practice I did my cartwheel tuck, I didn’t land it and I fractured my toe. It made me even more terrified to tuck in any skill but in my back yard I was watching that video over and over again and I told myself I would do it, and I did and I was so proud of myself. I will always struggle with my mental blocks but I’m proud of myself for getting over my cartwheel tuck mental block. Tip 5 really helps!!!
Great advice!
And your eyes are so pretty!
THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIN❤️❤️ I needed this!
I finally got over my mind block on backhandsprings . Thanks Erin !!!
happy thanks giving to the best youtube ever ilysm
I have a block on my round off backhand spring and I have my really important competition this weekend so thankyou!!
I’ve had a mental block for 3 weeks now, I’m trying everything I can do. It’s so hard. I hate mental blocks so much. I have amazing tumbling too. I just don’t understand why this is happening. Thank you for the video. I will definitely take the advice! 💞
Thank you so much Erin! This really helped me! Love youuuu
So happy your over your mind block!!
Great tips Erin! My number one tip to overcome a mind block is to feel your fear around your mental block. :)
when i was a tumbler, i would get nervous doing standing tucks when i was younger. i created this saying in my head “go over and deal with it” . go over as in go backwards, go for the trick. deal with it, deal with whatever happens, you land it great. you just deal with it.
I just wanted to share how I got over STANDING and RUNNING back handspring mind blocks. I was afraid of going straight from a round off to a back handspring, and before that I was afraid of standing back handsprings. I had a private lesson one time and my coach spotted me on a standing 2 back handspring and going straight into the 2nd back handspring was easy for me. It automatically clicked for me and the next tumbling class I was able to go straight from my round off back handspring. By then, my tumbling was plenty strong because of how long I had already worked on the skill. If you're not ready to do a standing 2 back handspring, try it on the tumble track with a spot. I was terrified of standing back handsprings, so I worked on my trampoline with a NET and a spot almost every day for a few months and then I would end up not using a spot after a few times. I even hit my nose on the side of a pit doing a tuck into the pit one time and I still got over the block. Good luck and be safe!
Love you so much erin xx
i have never had a mind block but i love to watch your vids
I had a major mind block last year and got put on a level 1 team. Now I'm over my mind block and back on a level 5 team where I belong!😁
This video helped me so much!! Thank you
i didn’t have a mental block until i tried my back handspring alone and i fell on my back😂😢
Same
I have a mind block for a back handspring I did many yesterday but now I can't do them please make a back handspring please
Thank you so much I have THE WORST mind block, I'm on level 3 and I am scared But today I set up a private and I feel confident about it so I will let u know after👍🏼 pray please💋
In the begging of the season I had my layout but then I lost it cause I fell on my head when I was messing around. Now I'm on a level 1 team when I belong on a level 4 team. This helped me out because I'm string to get my skills back 1 by 1 thank you
Thank you, this video helped me very much!
This helps thank you so much Erin!!!!:)
My tip is to do the skills with a coach standing there, and then have them step back a little bit at a time, so eventually you are doing your skills without seeing your coach at all.
I had the worst mind block trying to do a twist down. It was horrible. I'm on a level 3 senior team and I had to sit out at times During our stunt sections. Now I can do it, and couldn't be happier with my place in the routine!
I had my mind block now for like 7 weeks bc I done a round off bhs but I didn't land it I fell on my back and I was sacred every since then (I want to do my bhs that's y I'm watch this vid) great I loved it 😍
I learned how to a back walkover my self and I was so happy then the next day I literally could not
I love you erin!
I literally don’t know whats wrong with me. I was doing it fine yesterday and now when I’m trying to do it, i just can’t . My body wont let be, it just wont move. -backhandspring
Thanks so much for all these tips; I get mind blocks often about my jumps and such (I'm in dance, not cheer) as well as various tumbling, and they SUCK. But great, inspirational video. On another note, the image seems really clear in this video! Did you get a new camera or do something different?
This helped me soooooo much☺️
You inspire me💘
I have a huge mindblock on my back handspring (I've had it for 2 years) because the first time I got it and I practiced it on my own at a tumbling class a couch told me to not do it because I would break my arms like a bother girl on my team did. The next year I had gotten it back and it was super solid, all of my couches supported me except on. When then watched me to one on dead mat and told me I would get seriously hurt because MY LEGS WERE BENT.
Thank you so much I currently have a mental block
Thank you it help me so much
I don’t know what to do I’ve been doing my backhandspring for 2 years now but I can’t and now I have to do it on the basketball floor in two routines in front of the whole school and I need help and also I only have two days left and I’m going to cry
great advice!!!
i was in a mind block. i was throwing a round off double back handspring back layout and i fell and sprained my back which took cheer away from me for about a month and a half. i came back and streched and conditioned and did some light tumbling like back walkovers and cartwheels and front handsprings ect. i went to throw a round off back tuck and i couldn't. i was like oh I've just been away for awhile ill do a roundoff backhandspring. you know a easier skill i couldn't even do that. i was talking to my coach because she's basically my mom and she asked to see a bunch of skills and i couldn't do them. she told me that she knew what was going on and she told me and i started to cry. I didn't know what to do. i started working so hard to get out of my mind block. it took me 8 months 2 weeks and 4 days to get over my mind block. on May 12th i was no longer in a mind block. if you guys are going through something similar just keep trying because it will get better talk to someone and just never ever give up because you are capable of anything you set your mind to. XOXO- Katie:)
I personally never had a mind block (and I'm so grateful for that) but I know other people who had a mind block and I felt so bad for them because I felt like I couldn't help them because I never personally experienced a mind block
I love your episodes , I cheered in Highschool
Watching videos of yourself is definitely a good idea.
I'm joining all star cheer sometime in march-april next year but I'm starting tumbling next month. I want to get my bhs and back tuck before I start cheer also. My best friend is senior noex 3 and their looking for a new flyer. Tbh I don't think I'm good enough for their team but it's worth a try, wish me luck. :)
I currently have a mental block on my BHS and I have had it for like 3 years. Yeah. I still am not over it but something that have helped me the most is stopping looking away from the wall I stare at to throw my standing BHS and breath then throw it.
Hey ,this is so inspirational and like your so true like I always cry because I have mental blocks and I stress because I can’t do things but because I don’t know what to do anymore it’s really stressing me out and I feel like my body is telling me I can’t do skills anymore and I also feel like I can’t do anything I Try to push through but I just stress this vid did Help me tho x
Your eyes are gorgeous!!
Okay, so i have a horrible mind block on my roundoff backhandspring. I dont know why. Ive done everything you said, and everything other videos have said an i still cant connect! Why? All i think about is how i cant connect and it affects cheer really bad! Do you know why at all? 😕
I would recommend practicing doing a roundoff into the sitting position of the bhs because I had the same problem as you. just roundoff into the sitting position and do a bhs as you would normally
I have the same exact problem right now tell me if u got over it and how because i'm really trying and everybody tells me i'm fine but I keep remembering what happened last time I tried it and I can't
I have the same exact problem and I've had mine for over a year.
lol it's not that hard I swear I got mine the day after I got my bhs
What helped me was before my round off raise my leg up high to give me power so I could jump easier
I do tumbling cheer and I have a metal block of doing handstands omg!!!!!!
how-
I just bailed out of my back handspring and I have tryouts tomorrow
This is my 8th month with my mind block and it started because it was my first time flying and when i was done you know all those butterflies and everything and i decided to warm up and broke both bones in my left arm. Im almost over my mind block but b4 my accident, my mind block was only 3 months so if anyone else is getting over an injury to just know it does really take a LONG time but you will get there.
This happened to me too, and i just started with the basics like thigh stands and then worked my way up... I also tried stunting with my coaches to get the hang of it.
I have a super bad mind block on our back tuck in our pyramid, this girl who has never cheered before got it and I’ve done it in the pyramid every year but now she has the spot as center in pyramid until I can😕
This helped me because I had a mind block on my tucks
How do you put bows on cheer backpacks? Plz tell me!!!
I have tryouts in two months and I'm very scared to do BHS series and running roundoff handspring tuck. My couches always say "just do it" and I'm like it's not that simple I just can't. But I know it's just in my head and I can do it! I WILL GET OVER IT!!!!!
I am on a level two team and I have a comp coming up very soon, and I am extremely scared. I suck at stunting and mess up a lot, and whenever I screw up my group looks ant me and makes me feel bad. I feel like at the comp I am going to mess up and fail my team. My coaches do not have too high expectations for me because I am a very new cheerleader, (I have only cheered for a few months) but I am very hard on myself and afraid to fail the team. Advice?
I have my round off backhand spring and round off tuck but I don’t have a standing backhand spring and every time I try I just can’t get myself to do it
Your eyes are so pretty :)
I'm on a level two too!

I've been in this for my back tuck....
All-star cheer tryout tips and tricks
Omg I haven't watched your videos in a long time
When you were learning your back tuck did you throw your head back and not go up cause I do that and it's really hard to fix
I overcame mine finally!
I know one time I had a mind block with my cartwheel after pulling both of my muscles in my arm but I could still do a back-handspring with 10 year old spotters. I was 10 at the time.So it was very confusing.
In January I will have had a mind block for 2 years and I can do my handspring, tuck, whip, layout, and half on the trampoline, but I can't do any of it on the floor. And I know it's because I over think it but when I dont, I still can't do it. It's the same way with my running handspring. And if I don't get these by January I won't be able to cheer. Ugh I'm so stressed and that only makes it worse. And when I take privates everybody tells me the same exact things. To stop thinking about it and just do it. But I can't. I've done it by myself but still sike myself out. I recorded myself on the grass doing it by myself, but I still can't convince my body. Honestly, at this point it doesn't even feel worth it anymore. I'm not even scared of anything that I know of, my mind just won't let me do it.
I have a punch front on a mat from the floor but every time I try it on the floor I can't do it and end up falling and not even jumping do you have any tips or advice for me?
Do you have any tips on tumbling on hard floor like a basket ball court
I'm scared to do a backhadspring I know the steps and everything I am just scared to go back I get super stressed out and sometimes cry
Hello! I’m on a high school JV team this year and I am TERRIFIED of stunting. I’m a backspot, and I used to be able to do and lib extension, and then one day a girl told me we were doing an extension bump down, but instead cradled while I was still holding onto her ankles. She has done this multiple times, and has knocked the wind out of me each time. Now, I can barely do a half bump down without feeling like I will pass out or break out in tears. I really really need help
I have a mental block on any backhand spring skills and I don’t know what to do about it
I fell on my shoulder doing a backhandspring on a mat that flipped you over and now I can't do any backward skills at all bc I'm so scarred. It made me not make any team this yr(really small gym and only level is senior 3). Any tips for next year?
PS- I put in comments bc I don't have Instagram
I have real bad mental blocks , last Friday I only just got my tumbles and that weekend i was against 28 kids and if I didn’t have a mental block I would have got a medal.
I had gorgeous baranis/ side Ariel’s. I could do them none stop. At one of my OLD studios I had a dance duo at 10 pm and had performed all day. I landed funny and tore all the ligamentsin my foot. The nurses there told me to go straight to the hospital but I didn’t and completed the next day. This was in 2014 and I’ve had it a few times but I am still so scared. Any different tips ? X
I had a mind block on my double back handspring
I have a mind block on my roundoff handspring full and standing full, i can do it perfectly fine with my coach standing a few feet away but i cant get past that ugh!
I have a really bad mind block for my back tuck because I landed on my neck once and I just can't bring myself to do it now
Can you do a flyer tips video for cradling please
I have a mental block on my round off back handspring tuck. im scared i will land on my neck. its like there is a brick wall that wont let me go. my coach nor parents are encouraging. not sure what to do. its so much stress its causing me not to like cheer no more
I've started to get a mental block on my roundoff bhs and I'm pretty sure it's because I was working on my roundoffs a lot and now my rebound is SUUUPER high on the spring floor like its scary how high it is I rolled my ankle coming down one time cause I was so high up. Anyways, I'm afraid that I'm either going to not go backwards and do like a janky tuck but freak out midway and hurt myself, or fly backwards and not up enough and like only half of me gets over and I hurt myself. I need some help because I'm scared to even do a roundoff on the tumble track or the rod floor cuz I go up even higher. It also doesn't help that I'm super stressed because I just made a level 2 team for the first time and I really need these skills they need to be able to depend on me. Plz someone help what do I do. :(((
