Narrative:
Balloon on landing initially returned to ground hard, with front gear collapsing. Initially lined up for runway 27, and was to go to runway 31. I was holding up other traffic and became unfocused on proper landing technique creating above situation. Once on the correct runway I believe the approach was ok, but I must have ballooned and stalled causing aircraft to hit too hard on front gear.

Title: A STUDENT PLT RPTS BALLOONING AND MAKING A SUBSEQUENT HARD LNDG WHICH CAUSED A NOSEWHEEL COLLAPSE. THE RPTR HAD BECOME UNFOCUSED ON PROPER LNDG TECHNIQUE AFTER A RWY CHANGE AND HAVING HELD UP OTHER TFC.
Narrative: BALLOON ON LNDG INITIALLY RETURNED TO GND HARD, WITH FRONT GEAR COLLAPSING. INITIALLY LINED UP FOR RWY 27, AND WAS TO GO TO RWY 31. I WAS HOLDING UP OTHER TFC AND BECAME UNFOCUSED ON PROPER LNDG TECHNIQUE CREATING ABOVE SIT. ONCE ON THE CORRECT RWY I BELIEVE THE APCH WAS OK, BUT I MUST HAVE BALLOONED AND STALLED CAUSING ACFT TO HIT TOO HARD ON FRONT GEAR.
