  • Answer:

    tell your coach to spot you less and less each time, then one time (she wont tell you when), she will decide just to put her hand out, but not spot you, and you will do it by yourself.

if your coach says your ready you should be ready. I coach gymnastics and what i do when first teaching a student is spot them less and less. That way it will sort of "ween" you off and you'll be more comfortable. Ask your coach to spot you on the trampoline a couple of times, then start spotting less and less. Hope this is helpful :)

You've already been told about having your coach use a lighter and lighter spot so I will just mention that you have to want it more than you fear it. It would help not to say that it scares you, because the more you say "fear" or "scared" in connection with it the more you reinforce that fear in your mind. Try visualizing yourself doing it perfectly, to help build up your confidence. Good luck. :^)
