Mirroring

How do we quickly see?

Compare?

Well, let's take a look 

At ourselves :)


While mirrors are commonplace 

In fitness or ballet studios

We don't see them that often

Elsewhere


Before 

We go shop 

And 

Roll one in...


Is there a reflective surface? 

Window? 

Glossy wall that "returns" 

Information?


(I found I'd had somewhat of a block 

Practicing anything including shadow swings 

In front of a window

Especially when others are watching


Hopefully I'm past this now 

And can inspire others to just do it

And deal along the way 

With any adversity.)


If performing something one-sided

One mirror-benefit is of course 

Seeing yourself as 

Other-handed...


We can also mirror 

A coach

Or someone else 

Who's farther ahead


Is there a stroke 

Or stroke element 

To copy? Try? 

Add to the toolkit?


Are they mirroring you

Demoing with their other hand 

When facing you?

Or turning around to demo?

 

And video, obviously

To watch others

Record yourself

Compare


Mirror a video 

Horizontally 

New perspective

New insights


For a quick hack

Use a reflection of that video 

Rather having to flip the video itself

Again mirror or window


For our endeavor here

There's the direct comparison 

Between 

Right and left


Generally

The weak side would mirror 

The strong side

One swing each, compare


When stuck on the strong side though

Do we discover anything 

By trying more 

With the weak side?


In any case

Look at comparison swings 

Parallel swings too

Utilizing any of the above


With this new awareness

We can work more 

On the weak side
