      About the Author

      Introduction

      Did you know that feeling CONFIDENT as a gymnast is possible?

      Hi there! I’m Sara and I’m a Peak Performance Coach.

      I come across too many gymnasts who worry that their fears and self doubts are unusual, believing they’re the only one experiencing these thoughts and feelings!

      I’m here to set the record straight and give you a roadmap to consistently experience more confidence in your training and performance.

      You see, it’s NORMAL for ALL gymnasts to feel scared, frightened, and nervous to do particular skills at some point or another.

      It’s also NORMAL for ALL gymnasts to compare themselves to others, worry about sticking their routines at a meet, or wonder if they’ll ever get to move up to the next level.

      I get it. You want to do a good job. You won’t stop at anything short of perfect to meet your goals.

      And yet, do you find yourself frustrated when you make mistakes or have a bad day at practice? You try so hard, but still don’t feel consistently confident and secure in yourself or your training?

      As someone who has spent over 1000 hours in the gym observing and working with gymnasts and coaches, I’ve heard hundreds of the same kinds of stories:

      Gymnasts who:

      wish they felt more confident

      deal with persistent negative thinking and self doubts.

      wish they knew what to do about feeling scared to go for a new skill.

      get so frustrated at themselves for making mistakes.

      would love to get consistent with their routines.

      have lost skills or feel blocked on skills they’ve been able to do for years.

      constantly compare themselves to their teammates or opponents.

      want to easily calm themselves down before a meet.

      After working with hundreds of gymnasts in and out of the gym it’s clear there’s BASIC information missing from foundational gymnastics education about how our brain and body work, and how this influences athletic performance.

      Fortunately, you can learn how to help your body feel confident! This is a skill, just like learning a back handspring or a handstand.

      You can train your brain to think differently! How would it feel to reduce those negative thoughts and doubts?

      There are simple concepts, practices, and tools you can learn and practice to make you feel more confident, consistent and an overall better gymnast TODAY!

      I wrote this book because every gymnast should have these foundational pieces of mind-body-performance information to make their gymnastics training and competition execution easier, more focused, and more consistent.

      Being a gymnast is hard work. You have to put in the time and effort
