Stuck in the Mud
I feel like I'm stuck with my Hooping.
I've hooping for about a year now and have mastered most of the basic tricks and some more complicated.
But I keep finding videos of AWESOME hoopers and I get all enthused thinking how amazing they look and how I can be like that and learn some of their quirky tricks.
So I go and practice and I feel like I'm rubbish because I can't seem to flow easily from one trick to another, like I'm jarring my moves. It's even worse if I film myself and watch it back as I think I look clumsy and messy. (I started filming short clips of myself as for a while it gave me more confidence seeing that I could do some tricks better than I though and I didn't look like a complete dork)
So what can I do to get rid of this frustration? Getting annoyed with my lack of flow and composure seems silly. I've tried several things, from filming, to not, changing what music I have on, or not having any, the clothes I'm wearing, slowing all my moves down, speeding them up etc etc.
Any advice or help? Anyone else had a similar problem/frustration?
