Tangents and Detours

These are the items that seperate the players that can continue to implement and improve and those who can’t. Player’s with the focus to concentrate on a single item for hours will learn and implement a new move.

Player’s, myself included, that fight getting distracted by other thoughts and ideas continue to get bogged down by too many thoughts and nothing gets done.

It takes a strong amount of belief in what you are doing to stick with it and not get distracted. I was practicing today on a topic I had been working on for a couple days. Very soon into it, I got impatient and tried to force the issue. I spent the next 30 minutes trying like 6 different things. I started to get angry and frustrated. I took a second and went back to what I came to work on. After working on it for a while, I tried some full shots and they were much better.

It’s one of the big reasons you need to keep a journal. It will help you stay focused and keep your practice on point.
