Video Transcript

" Hello! My name is Melissa Shank, and on behalf of expertvillage.com. Today, we’ve been discussing some strategy techniques to learn how to juggle. Now, on our final clip today, we call this one persistence doesn’t pay. Now, you’re going to think this is funny, but sometimes you just can’t get it. You may have been practicing for half an hour or an hour, and you’re sweating and you’re frustrated. You remember, hey she told me this was supposed t be relaxing, and it’s not relaxing and you’re having a tough time with it, and you’re very frustrated. This is when persistence doesn’t pay. Put the balls down and go to bed. If it’s the end of the day we’ll go to bed; if it’s not put the balls down and sleep on it. Honestly, this is what jugglers refer to it’s called a quantum leap. It’s very interesting, you’re brain can do magical things, and one of those things is if you’re learning how to juggle and you can’t quite get it, when you go into that REM sleep mode. It’s a neat way actually to do juggling right before you go to bed. You’re brain will think about it when you’re asleep, and will start doing some of that work for you, it will start putting that coordination together for you. So, if you are having problems, take a day off and honestly sleep on it. You’ll be shocked at what will happen the next day. Sometimes you can get and the next you can’t get, and the next day you’ve just picked it right up. That again referred to what jugglers call a quantum leap. So, when persistence doesn’t pay and you’re having some problems, sleep on it. Other than that, have fun with juggling and good luck. "
