Mental Blocks

In cheerleading, many people go through this thing called meant blocks. I've had about three and they are probably the most frustrating thing to go through. Mental blocks are easy to understand, it's when your mind plays tricks on you and causes you to not be able to do something. In my case, it affected me by not letting me do a skill I already had. Some people have blocks on skills they have never done, but the people I know and my own personal experience was a block on a skill I've had. I had a block in 7th grade, 8th grade and 9th grade and they were all a block on the same thing, a full.  My 8th grade block caused me an injury at competition. I had a double those three years (There is a video in one of my last posts of a double) and I also had a full. My block was that I couldn’t do a full I had to spin the full two turns every time. I will write another post on how I injured myself from a block my 8th grade year. In 9th grade, I figured out the solution to my blocks.
I was a very powerful tumbler before my back injury and that was a reason why I was losing the count of spins I was doing. I ran into my tumbling with so much force and I had the same force for a full and a double. You dont need as much energy to do a full then a double, but even when slowing down I still eventually edify more power and I tumbled and I would still spin two times. I figured out that my full didn’t need a run, I could either walk into my tumbling or I would take only two steps instead of four. I had both a double and full after I figured that out.
