Article: If you are experiencing difficulty completing a back walkover, get advice from your coach or teacher. An experienced gymnast will recognize the difficulty in how you carry out the move, whether it be a lack of flexibility or simple hesitation. If you experience any pain when attempting a back walkover, see a doctor to eliminate the possibility of an injury that might be slowing you down. Completing a successful back walkover will not be possible without adequate flexibility in your back and shoulders.  Do shoulder stretches and back stretches regularly to improve your flexibility. To avoid injury caused by overstretching, have your coach or an experienced teammate supervise your stretching. Doing back walkovers without adequate flexibility can cause injury over time. Psychological blocking is a common issue in gymnastics where a gymnast freezes up and is unable to carry out a skill. There is no specific explanation or solution for this, but overcoming negative thinking is important. Avoid overthinking the problem by giving yourself a fixed amount of time to attempt the move, then moving on to other skills and exercises.  Try doing a back walkover at the beginning of your workout to avoid the stress of thinking about it during other exercises. Recognize that psychological blocking is not a personal flaw and avoid self-blame.
