ask your coach if he/she thinks you are ready for it. If they say yes, than believe in yourself. They know best. Just remember to set and go for it. If you do that, there's nothing to be afraid of, unless you're having an off day, than I'd recommend trying it on a bouncier surface until you feel ready. Also I used to be afraid and I started freaking out in the middle. but after a while, I realized that there's nothing to be afraid of. if your coach says you're ready, you can do it
you can ask to do it in the foam pit (stand at the edge of the pit then do a backflip and land in the pit)
it also helps to have your coach spot you the first few times.
If your coach says your ready, an easy way to learn from is if you know how to do a back handspring! You will learn just to add a little bounce from that. You will eventually get use to it and getting high bounces and realizing you don't need your hands. That was how I learned!
You also need to not think about it that much because if you do your just going to get scared all over again :) your not going to get it exactly right the first time you do it, and if you can GOOD FOR YOU! Just remember how to do it and try your best.
Dive - If you don't know what this is, take a couple steps back off the board. (:
Cannonball - Tuck you legs in so they're pressing against your chest and stay that way till you hit the water.
Pencil Drop - Take a couple steps, jump, and keep your body totally straight for ultimate depth.
Jackie Chan - Run a bit, jump high. Point one leg in front of you, straight, in a karate kick and the other leg bent so the back of your shin is nearly touching your thigh. Put this leg under your behind. Ta-da! A Jackie Chan.
Twister - A mini-bit tricky but very simple: run, jump, and spin around in a 360. Harder than it looks, I tell you.
Ignorance - A good one for crowds- just skip off the edge of the board and act totally shellshocked when you fall off. Heck, a fake scream never hurts, either. (;
Make Up Your Own - Self-explanatory; be creative!
Good luck on (and off) the diving board!
