I totally agree about cutting tricks down into small steps – I think this is where it’s possible to get small wins also and keep the experience a positive one.
- I think motivation is one of the key things when it comes to learning. Yes you can FORCE yourself do an hr of practice a day, but if you don't WANT to then you'll be real inefficient at learning. I lost motivation learning 3 so stalled in my progress for a long while. I ended up buying new diabolos and that was enough to motivate me to learn 3.
I'm straggling a bit off topic, but how do you guys find that motivation? I basically haven't learned anything new since like a year ago. Every time I practice, it's like JT said, I have to force myself. (It's not really even practice, it's more like repeating basics so I don't forget how to do them.)I feel like diabolo has been becoming more and more boring lately. I've not been having fun, ergo resulting in no learning whatsoever. What do you guys recommend me to do?
Not saying you shouldn't analyse things and think
One last thing, to Tyson. What did your break look like? how much or would you even practice diabolo at all?
