Here are some ways to become a better backspot:

1.) Squeeze - Make sure your squeeze the flier's foot/leg to stable her and make her feel comfortable.

2.) Lift up - Lift up on the flier's ankle/leg to take some of the weight off off the bases.

3.) Catch - When catching the cradle make sure you reach up, catch the flier high and absorb the catch to make the landing more comfortable for the flier.

4.) Safety - When a flier falls make sure you let go of the flier's leg/ankle and focus on protecting the flier's "Head, Kneck, and back". This is done by either wrapping the fliers waist Or catching her high so she does NOT over-rotated and land awkwardly.

5.) Encouragement - Encourage the flier when she's down and/or scaried.

6.) Knowledge - (this can be tricky) If you are knowledgable in the stunt and can help, then let the flier know what she can do to fix it. There are good ways and bad ways to go about this so beware. Please notice that this can have a negative effect if you are constantly correcting the flier over and over again without positive reinforcement.
