I am going through a mental block in cheer. A mental block is when you know that you have a certain skill, but your brain tells you that you can't do it. I am not doing my standing tuck and my front punch (a front flip). I know lots of people who have these too so I know that I am not alone. When you get a mental block you just have to remember why you want this skill and how you can approve from it. I want my standing tuck and my front punch so that I can be on a level 4 team next year rather than a level 2 or 3 team. If I got these skills I could start to do fulls, which are level 5 skills, and many others things after. My coaches have told me over and over and over and over and over and over that I have these skills but my mental block makes me think that I am not capable of performing a skill. (That's a standing tuck in the animation.)
