1st March
A much less productive night this time unfortunately. However it is extremely clear why so. I had to miss last weeks session as I injured my knee at gymnastics.. it hasn't been too serious however it has been a small niggling problem. The fact I missed a week meant it would've taken me longer to get back into the swing of things, but then also being aware of the fact that if I pushed myself too hard my knee could become painful again didn't help. So I spent most of my evening just tottering along the slack line.. regularly falling off and not really progressing, which seems a shame, but I feel pleased that I even did that much, and just kept myself in the swing of things. I also found myself doing a little bit of teaching again... something I enjoy and I feel comes very naturally to me since I coach gymnastics! :) Also, as promised... what Rhona said a few weeks back about my teaching some friends:
At 101 Performing Arts Group on 2 February 2012, I watched Syan working with other members of the group. She was watching their work on the slack line and identifying what problems they were having with the equipment. She was then giving advice on what they might do to rectify the problem.
She would demonstrate what she was saying and suggesting an exercise that could help. She would then work with them on this exercise.
I was also aware of her describing some film of slack line working that she had found. She would explain to the other members what she had seen and how they could incorporate some of the ideas she had seen.
