Juggling: One week in!

One week in, and I have made some progress.

As soon as I announced to the school that I was challenging myself to learn how to juggle, the students told me that Mr. Grimm, our P.E. teacher, knew how to juggle. So I sought out the expert in the building!

Later that day, during 6th grade lunch, Mr. Grimm did a little demonstration of his juggling skills for the 6th graders and gave me some tips.  

I've been practicing for less than a week. I literally started from zero.  

After reading a little in the juggling book (pictured in the other post "here we go") and Mr. Grimm's tips........I can juggle two items with one hand for a few seconds.

-One thing I have learned so far is that, like so many other things in life, juggling is very much mind over matter.  Training your brain to resist the urge to reach out and catch the bag rather than making a good throw and waiting for the bag to land in your hand is a exercise in patience.
