Thus, you might need different thoughts at different times. Maybe a thought for when you're tired is "stay on your toes".<BR/><BR/>And if you're trying to fix a flaw in the swing, be prepared to fix the compensation that has been built into the swing. Perhaps someone curves the disc too much so they subconsciously aim further out than they should. Fix the curve, but also make sure they correct their aiming point.parinellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802604259779936852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994039.post-1117661193612052962005-06-01T14:26:00.000-07:002005-06-01T14:26:00.000-07:00Can't really do that in ultimate, except for on th...<I>Can't really do that in ultimate, except for on the pull.</I><BR/>Well, I think you can, if you develop expectations about what throws to look for. I think there's enough time to have a simple thought or image flash across your head ("stay low") during your windup.parinellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802604259779936852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994039.post-1117649063830030062005-06-01T11:04:00.000-07:002005-06-01T11:04:00.000-07:00I just started doing this 3 weeks ago when working...I just started doing this 3 weeks ago when working on my throws:<BR/><BR/>After every forehand I say to myself "Snap your wrist harder, keep your weight forward." And it has slowly worked to improve my throwing in games as well. I don't hear the voice in my head, but I'm starting to do these things unconcsiously.<BR/><BR/>Practice is effectively moving conscious thought to unconscious action through repetition.<BR/><BR/>The difference is that in golf, you can take your time and go over it all in your mind before you swing. Can't really do that in ultimate, except for on the pull.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994039.post-1117648191552303732005-06-01T10:49:00.000-07:002005-06-01T10:49:00.000-07:00After I told you this, I realized that while I had...After I told you this, I realized that while I had consciously done this on my long backhands through the years, I had never really paid attention to the forehand. So throwing around before corporate last night, I concentrated on the low release forehand, and it sure made a difference in the mid-range to long forehand. Who knows, I may develop a long forehand yet...Alex de Frondevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707094148320066773noreply@blogger.com
