My Mental Block Story

 
I tried puting my finger and my mouse at where I am as best as I could and I zoomed in when I fall
-_- The fall dosent even look bad but it really killed!
 
The first time I got the block I didn’t care that I lost my full because a double is a better anyways. I eventually got my full back and lost the double. The next year I got my double again I had both a full and double, but I got the block. I had a pulled hamstring at the time and we had competition in a week so I tried resting it and not practicing as much as I can. I wanted to be able to do my double at competition because I worked so hard on it! Our competition was in Atlanta, I think, and we were practicing in another team’s gym the night before competition. I had to practice and because my hamstring got worse, I was falling at the practice. Surprisingly and embarrassingly, I was crying because I was in a lot of pain. My coaches told me to throw a full at competition instead. Remember I lost my full so I was freaking out. After a few times of tiring my full I actually did it, but I was very upset still. So, I did the full that one time and that was it I was done for the night, I was scared, tired, and hurt. The next day at competition, I got amped up with excitement. While performing I had too much energy and because of my block that I still had, I threw a double without knowing and tried stopping myself. I fell right on my knee.

I continued the routine and my teammates helped me off the stage. My coaches didn’t care too much but I went to first aid and got ice anyways. I wasn’t supposed to perform the next day because I could barely walk on it, it was swollen and bruised. My coaches were real jerks and thought I went for a double on purpose so once I told them I shouldn’t compete that’s when they actually got worried. However, I competed the next day for them I didn’t my main tumbling passes and I watered my skills down a level so there was no twisting. I was very lucky I was able to even flip.
