Not a Juggler, Yet

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
