In fact, an athlete that isn’t confident in themselves or their environment\u00a0will not throw<\/span> their skill or pass.<\/p>\n

Luckily, confidence isn’t something you have to be born with, it can be developed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And when it comes to the back handspring, making sure you (or your athletes) learn a proper back limber is the perfect way to build up a massive amount of confidence for going backwards.<\/p>\n

Take a look below…

Please keep in mind to watch the drill animations for their theory<\/span> and mechanics<\/span>, not<\/strong> execution. Most of my videos are captured during an athlete\u2019s learning phase. Also, please do not<\/strong> perform any drills, prerequisites or progressions unless you\u2019re in the company of a certified coach<\/span> and have their permission to do so.
