I will be learning to juggle for my learning project. Where am I now? In all honesty, I think I am awful.. but I am ultra competitive and being a goalie in hockey I like to think I have strong hand-eye coordination so how hard could it be. I am extremely motivated to learn, mainly because my girlfriend had a similar assignment last year and learnt to juggle and it is one of many things she holds over me so it is time to learn!!!

Resources I think I can use include

  • My girlfriend (got sneaky good)
  • My dad (feels like everyone around me can juggle)
  • Youtube (unlimited learning tool)
  • Books (amazon could be my best friend)
  • Wikihow (simple starting point)

I want to focus on using human resources for the first few weeks to being learning, I think putting in 1-2 hours a week of learning/practicing would be a solid starting point.

I can then move to alternative resources to further my learning and pick up new progressions, the internet will be great for this.

Where will I go if I am secretly good after practicing?

I want to master the fundamentals/basics of juggling with 2 hands & starting with 3 objects, thinking bean bags to start because if I drop them they will not roll away from me, I hope.

Progressions!!

  • 3,4,5 objects/balls
  • Increase/decrease size of objects/balls
  • Walk & juggle
  • Light objects/balls on fire (Katia’s request)
  • Increase amount of time without stopping
  • Learn new patterns (ex, reverse cascade, columns, or the fountain)
  • Synchronizing the rhythm of throws and catches
  • Explore one-handed juggling

Other reasons I want to learn

  • Improve hand eye coordination
  • Fun skill to have
  • Challenging to learn
  • Lots of resources
  • Ample oppurtunity to practice
  • Can practice anywhere
  • Use of multiple objects
  • Progressive skill
