You Must Validate Your Gymnast's Feelings
Переглядів 722 роки тому
#gymnastics #gymnasticsmom #parentingagymnast #stickitgirl Ok parents! It is SO important that you validate your gymnast's feelings, especially when she's going through a struggle or dealing with a "problem" in the gym. While you think playing devil's advocate will help her see that there's a better way to think about the situation, what that's doing is getting her to trust you less and shut do...
Don't Bribe, Threaten, or Punish Your Gymnast
Переглядів 1242 роки тому
#gymnastics #gymnasticsmom #mentalblock #stickitgirl Let's think about this... Your gymnast has nothing to gain from not doing her skill! So why do we always assume she's not motivated enough?! Yes, it's confusing when she just stops doing a skill she could always do. But it's not because she doesn't WANT to do it. Motivation isn't the issue. Trust me, she WANTS to do it because that would save...

#gymnastics #stickitgirl #coachannakojac #positivethinking Yes, it's true. The jump from negative self-talk to positive self-talk is just too big and honestly, your brain won't believe you anyway! So Coach Anna...what are you telling me to do? I'm telling you to move in a positive direction with your self-talk but not to make such a big jump. Baby steps, gymnasts. Baby steps.

3 Things To Do To Calm Nerves In Gymnastics
That’s not my mom we find something pretty bit cheap ❤❤❤
Thank you so so much I have my first ever competition this Sunday and I am watching all of your videos and they really do help thank you!
Best of luck at your competition! I'm glad my videos are helping.
You literally deserve like 40k more subs than you have rn 😭😭🫶🏻
Thank you! I appreciate the love.
😅
What happened to me for my mental block was I was at gymnastics doing my round off back handspring layout and then on my next turn I did a round off back handspring and I just couldn’t do my layout the I went again and I did my round off then I stoped and I couldn’t do me backhand spring so that’s what happened that is what started my mental block
Yes, that sounds like a typical mental block. It feels like it happens all of a sudden, which can be very confusing. There's often some pressure swirling around in your mind that led to the mental block. Your goal is to figure out what that pressure might be for you.
This is insane. Who’s making these prices?
This video gave me the best scores of my life! Thank you🎉🎉🎉
Bro mine is 20 its kinda basic but still pretty
Hi
That sounds pretty scary
I wish people would STOP SAYING ITS JUST A MENTAL BLOCK! Let’s learn about the VESTIBULAR SYSTEM. If you keep saying this misinformation WITHOUT EXPLAINING THE BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS, people will remain ignorant. Thanks for mentioning the PROPRIOCEPTIVE SYSTEM. These are some good points but there was A Lot More involved.
Let’s look at the Brain 🧠, Messages from the VESTIBULAR and PROPRIOCEPTIVE Systems go to the motor cortex and the cerebellum, another part of the BRAIN. If you fail to mention this and MAINLY focus on cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects, it CONFUSES PEOPLE. Good to shed light on mental health, but it’s only PART of the issue.
Thank you so much ❤ I have a meet tomorrow 😬
She started to feel a lot of pressure on her and that made her analyze and focus on what she was doing, rendering her unable to do it anymore. When you try to do something you already can do, you screw it up. Golfers call it the yips, musicians talk about it too. It's called the Centipede's Dilemma.
My comp is today I hope this helps me
Love your videos
Please shush
my last meet ever after 7 year's is coming up. and i haven't been doing so good. so this will really help. thank you.
State tomorrow and I got my pirouette on bars yesterday! I am afraid of my full and my tsuk on vault. Thank you for helping. Do you believe in Jesus. He is real! Hs powers have shown so much through my gymnastics journey!
Gurl I shop 2nd hand unless it’s a team uniform I’m not paying full price.
I have a meet in three weeks
im so scared for my competition representing my school! Thanks for this video
Thanks this helped a lot 🤩
I have a competition tomorrow 🦋😄
I have a comp tomorrow morning I’m soo nervous
I have NI champs in 2 days 😅
I have NI champs in 2 days 😅
fr my comp leotards cost so much just to buy a new one each year and only wear it like 7 times
Yesterday I told my coach I wasn’t coming back next comp season but now I’m not sure. Gymnastics is my whole life. If I am having more hard days than good days is it still worth it for those good days? I always win in competitions but I struggle a lot in training with perfectionism and self criticism. I am going to try this idea and see if it improves my attitude towards myself
my meet leotard is nearly $300 😅(at least it lasts long)
Such a good point! Scores really aren’t that important because scores are kind of graded on a curve based on everyone else competing. And literally, no one cares because some people still progress even if they rarely place in the top of meet. You should shout this from the rooftops! Having fun is WAY more important than anything else at a meet.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve noticed most gymnastics moms are competitive people, so they end up over-coaching their daughters. As a newer gymnastics mom, I think the vibe among parents at competitive gyms is like that from the “Dance Mom’s” TV show.
thanks so much! i have a mental block on my fly away on bars
I hope this video helped you!
I keep getting nervous at night and I can’t sleep a few nights before the meet does anyone else do this…
My competition it after tomorrow I have an amazing feeling I’m going to do great! It took my nerve and switched it with confidence! <3 💓🫶🏼
I can’t go through my mental block of doing a backhand spring depart when I jump backwards into a bridge scares me
Omg same
I’ve competed before but the season just started and idk why I’m terrified I have it in 2hrs
Ik mine was $170
I have a meet tomorrow!!!
What do you the think the best hand placements for a side aerial are?
REALL I WAS GONNA GET A RESLLY PRETTY PURPLE ONE BUT IT WAS 50 BUCKS 😭
Wow
Last year I was tumbling all over the place front Ariel’s side Ariel’s bhs round off bhs front handspring and every once in a while round off back tuck,the day of recital I was nervous but still did it,I did not have dance for 2 weeks and I came back with a HUGE mental block I could only do side Ariel and front handspring I’m still stuck there and it feels awful not being able to do a back handspring simply because of fear and my front Ariel is just unsuccessful,competition season is not too far so I’m kinda worried.
