How

Related to 

I don't know 

And 

Yet


Another 

Great way to find 

A goal, a path, and more

Is


"How".


How can I...

How can we...

How did they...

How come no one's done X?


Open question

Open mind

Maybe 

3 main outcomes: 


1) 

There really is a limiting answer


E.g. an undertaking could lead to 

Something harmful or 

There's some other good reason 

Not to do something (a certain way?) 


Maybe it's not worth it then

For now


2) 

A immediate, clear idea

A spark

Let's go out, give it a go, play

Based on what we find, iterate


3) 

New ways of trying things. 

Aka "innovation"?


Once we have a good "how" question

Capture all possible how's (and limitations) 

That come to mind 

And then see...


In my case

I was wondering how it's possible 

that I keep practicing tennis more

but seem to become worse over time


At least 

not improving as much 

as I would elsewhere

How is that possible?


How can I do something about it? 

How can I practice differently 

To actually improve? 

How can I then see what's working? 


Amongst other triggers

This thinking 

Led me to 

This project


Developing 

And comparing 

The other side 

Of the body


More time on the wall

Focused on specific aspects

Shadow swings

What are some of the top coaches doing


Playing and practicing more 

Adjacent racquet sports

Trying something completely different

Inspiration from other fields


These could be some ideas 

Resulting from

A"how" storm

To assess, trim, prioritize


For the deeper thinking parts

Let's remember the 

"3rd 3rd"

To not give up (too) early...
