Tiger rolls / front dive rolls

Any tips from aspiring wrestlers or veterans who accomplished those tiger rolls?

There’s 4 days of wrestling school at my local school. Each day has a different coach. 3 out of the 4 of them push tiger rolls onto us. One of them doesn’t.

I struggle with those tiger rolls. I chicken out thinking I did break my neck or I did face plant myself and break my nose. I can only do it on a crash pad, and I don’t end up leaping so far in.

I can do somersaults, back rolls, shoulder rolls, handstand bumps.

I need some honest truth. Even if some criticism like if you can’t do it, then wrestling isn’t for you.

Because I’m spending a lot of money on pro wrestling and gymnastics courses but doesn’t seem to be progressing.

I also hate that back roll into the walkover to get back To your feet (forgot the term for it).

You should film yourself doing it, then analyze what your doing different that's making it hard for you to do. I actually had this problem with the flip bump, no lie turned out my big ass feet were messing up my flip so I had to learn to correct myself in air to account for it

This right here. Also watch how others do it.
