Ruby had an injury doing a back handspring on the beam. After that, she experienced anxiety on beam, but specifically with that skill and she avoided doing it for a long time. With the support of her coaches and trust in herself she was able to overcome this mental block. She now performs on beam with confidence, including a beautiful back handspring.
