A three-view recording audit to find the real problem.

Hi!

Have you ever watched a recording of yourself and thought:

“I know something is wrong. I just can’t tell what it is.”

Then you watch it again, dislike twelve more things and leave with absolutely no idea what to practise.

Try watching the same recording three times:

First viewing: Timing

Are you moving with the rhythm you intended? Where do you rush or arrive late?

Second viewing: Weight and base

Where is your weight? Are your steps supporting the movement? Are you finishing one transfer before beginning the next?

Third viewing: Upper-body choices

What are your arms, shoulders, head and torso doing? Are they helping the movement or reacting after it?

Now choose one thing.

Not the most embarrassing thing. Not everything. The one variable that would be most useful to work on next.

Feeling stuck often feels enormous because the problem has never been made specific. It all comes at once!

MINDSET RESET

Being stuck usually requires a better question, not harsher self-criticism.

SUMMER QUEST: MISSION 9 OF 10

If your note says “be better,” it does not count 😂

And because we have spent an entire email analysing posture, we couldn’t resist:
