Let me first say these shots are not of me. They are my teacher James and another guy Paul who does the shows with James. Today’s class was going along pretty well today and I was doing ok but every now and then lately I seem to be getting frustrated with myself, which of course means the tricks get worse and worse, which makes the frustration worse. I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been doing this for so many months now and I’ve plateaued or I’m just expecting too much of myself. I can do, or at least have done all the tricks in these photos above, but for some reason I felt like I was messing everything up today.
Hon, it’s just one of those days.
Everyone has a bad day in any sport they do. It means nothing. Don’t dwell on it. :)
Cut yourself some slack, just think of how far you have come ….. you are doing great!
We all have off moments. I know from playing basketball and squash I did best when I managed to adopt an attitude of thinking of the next 5 seconds, not the past 5 seconds. Cheers and take care…I remember how daunting climbing rope was in Army Reserve…so you are doing pretty well.
