Does your child have anxiety before practice? If your a gymnast do 

your hands sweat as your feet feel the cold floor as you walk to the 

                                                beam? 

This is common and it is usually a fear of failure. This is a 

common anxiety of doing a new skill or even competing at all 

                                    that many gymnast face.

So, how can you attack this? First, you need to figure out what

is causing the anxiety. Whether it is a well needed break, a fear 

of a new skill, lack of confidence when competing, or an over

                            load of pressure this is correctable

Lastly, once you know what is causing the problem you can act

accordingly whether it is extra time in the gym to build confid-

ence, or less open gyms and private lessons to get a break and

                                          have some fun. 

Gymnastics is a year round sport. Sometimes a break is neces-

sary especially at the end of season, as we are coming up on State 

                                      at the end of March!
