Sounds like quackery, for sure. Please leave a comment if you know anyone who’s tried it.
That post has some good content, but misses some of the most important factors regarding serious fear issues in gymnastics:
• almost exclusively WAG, not MAG
• almost always on backwards skills
• almost never very young gymnasts
• most pronounced just before and during competitive season
Strategies often not considered by WAG coaches:
– progress slower on backward skills, faster on forward skills
– introduce forward skills first (e.g. forward flyaway before backward)
– spot backwards skills as little as possible
– train more difficulty early season than you want to compete (take out skills to reduce distress when you get close to season)
MAG coaches need not worry, though these are strategies I like to use with boys, too.
Courtney has the right idea — at her club she feels the boys train smarter than the girls.
If girls trained more like guys, they’d have fewer mental blocks due to fear.
