Men’s artistic gymnastics is a complex coordination sport, where the injury risk of the skills often leads to fear. Fear is complex and both coaches and sport psychology practitioners (SPP) can struggle to help gymnasts cope with fear. Through my work as a gymnastics coach and SPP I have encountered several gymnasts that are afraid of skills. Studies have detailed the reasons for fear and how gymnast cope with fear but few studies have detailed the process of coaches and SPPs helping gymnasts cope with fear. As such, coaches and SPPs may find different strategies to cope with fear but lack information on how to use them. In this article detail two cases that I have encountered as a gymnastics coach and SPP exemplifying the impact of fear and potential coping strategies. Two different approaches were taken in the cases, which both resulted in the gymnasts overcoming their fear. The lessons learned throughout these cases and my work as a SPP are distilled into guidelines which can guide coaches and SPP in their attempts to support gymnasts coping with fear of injury.
