When going for breakthroughs
Maybe we sometimes have to
Break through
Something
In tennis terms for example,
let's hit some balls
Into the fence
Over the fence?
Make the ball bounce first
On our side of the net
Hit into the net
As fast as we can
Ideally
With a ball machine
Def not a partner
Who'd prefer to rally :)
Or
Use a basket of balls
and
Feed yourself
Something new happening somewhere?
Maybe along the kinetic chain?
Something suddenly let loose?
Where does the acceleration come from?
What does that mean
For going back
Into
The boundaries?
As always
Don't hurt yourself or others
Maybe don't try to
Suddenly lift 2x the weight
A friend told me once
That versed musicians
sometimes practice hitting
A slightly off note
If you can do that
And easily (and maybe even better)
Go back to pitch-perfect
You've probably come quite far.
An analogy in racquet sports may be
to make conscious ball contacts
*Around*
The sweetspot
To re-discover the sweetspot sensation
Make cleaner contact again
And in play
Make that contact more often
(For the super advanced
You can - or already may unconsciously -
Create extra spin by making contact
towards the outer edge of the racquet head...)
Today (and maybe tomorrow still)
There are socio-psychological boundaries as well
People are surely going to look at you funny
When you're doing unusual things
But
Nicely
And smartly
