#peripheral

columbia : japan

2b-01414 - 16 mins - ___ Would like to improve the Ones, wider, more slammy, but anything but the blunt pattern will much more easily fail. ___ Started off with higher 4-s, which did control on the pattern well. ___ Then also fancied to get into active 0-s by merely clapping my hand at my body or - even more simple - briefly snap my hand closed, but also that was puzzling and completely brought me out of tact. ___ A few 3-s that didn't belong there. ___ Still unstable, busy with the ground-state and getting it fluent running ``by itself´´.

3b 200gr, freestyle, misc - ~10 min.
5 heavy balls, 200 gr casc - ~5 min.
9b flashing - ~35 min. ___ Once 8 gathers. Around seven times 11 throws, best were into 7 gathers, and a nice pattern spotted landing with 11 c in sight, but collapsed on catching.

poland : senegal

2b-01414 - 70 mins - ___ Dared a go on 3b-0161616, but was impossible ( way to high 6-s required that I didn't even get indoors and from scratch). ___ Again, difficult to get active 0-s, so preferred to simply endure the pattern as is. Got 50-80 throws, then longer runs of ½ a minute, one maybe near or above a minute.

5b casc varied - ~5 min.
7b casc - ~40 min. ___ One 87 throws run (into drops), then had to fight for two more runs longer than 40 throws, 41 and 43 t. ___ [ daily7b III: 87 ]

belgium : panama

Missed one goal merely staring at the tv, but not actually "watching", but obviously then all concentrated on the pattern. Got Lukaku's goal well later.

3b inv box - ~47 mins - ___ Seems, I had not been using the thumbs well last time; got it better after `activating´ them. Not all straight horizontal throws, but slightly bowy. Longest runs of 103 and 116 throws. __ (Doing the asynch 423 variation ..) I am into active 2-s now, but Thrown Twos were too puzzling yet, so to start off, tried to simply give the held ball a short squeeze (\squish) as an ``action´´ on it in the right tact; that was still difficult being one more action in a then pauseless tact, but that's where to go on from.

Started 7b from cold, but felt very strenuous, so preferred to do a short warmup with 5b ..

List, outcome, after trying everything out:
- okay: ___ .. 3b casc. .. 2b-01414 .. 3b freestyle, fastest, reverse-mix, (single) back of hand, (single) claws, (single) penguins, (single) backcrosses ( short spotting required so far ) .. 3b 4 2=ELCURL 3 .. 3b elcrook stalls ( 3_THROW_INTO_STALL 3 3 3_WITH\WHILE_2nd_BALL_STALLED 3_TAKE_STALL_REACHOVER_INTO_COLUMN_THERE ) .. contact butterflies (str'hd) .. catching bbb, fx, rev bx, (except w'hd st) .. 3b box (synch, try a bit only until it `clicks´) .. 3b-441 (great!) .. 3b roll-to-elcrook-and-flick .. 3b roll-past-wrist-and-take-up .. gorilla flicks.
- difficult \unclear yet: ___ .. 3b inv box ( rather: yes, with some practise ) .. 5b casc low ( rather not ).
- refuted \adjourned: ___ .. 3c casc (spins need constant spotting) .. contact anything incl. weakhand .. 1c flourishes (rather with looking) .. ball spinning (needs watching the ball) .. pinball (awkward, mabe at most with 1b learning).

costa rica : serbia

trying out more ideas out of my 3b repertoire today:
3b casc "roll-to-elcrook-flicks" - 7 mins - ___ jus' perfect in a 4-count. difficult in a 2-count so far.
3b casc "roll-to-el-and-take-from-there-while-rolling", resp. 2b (for w'hd) - 4 mins - ___ same, 4-count okay. Even makes sense to put one ball away for weakhand.

(river's meadow)
3b 200gr, freestyle, misc - ~10 min.
5 heavy balls, 200 gr casc - ~5 min.
9b flashing - ~35 min. ___ Not 8 gathers. Two launches nearly worth 9 c, all spotted, landing `slowly´, bad catching with full hands. Once 12 throws.

#peripheral

germany : mexico

3b casc gorilla flicks - 19 mins - ( = with fingers bent inward (almost fist), then flick up with back of fingers ) ___ took a while, unstable, throwing, more than flicking, until I got it fluent and better flicking; still liable to become droppy. Okay so far as an option, but does a bit not seem to make sense to have to do it with handicap.

Am through with trying everything out, so now can do what I've been keen to redo what was most fun and-or most fluent (elcurls, 441, catching blind behind).

2b elcurls ( in a 02ELC2T33 way ) - 25 mins - ___ Not trivial. Around 5 in a row (and in a rhythm). Sometimes my chest helping with the curlover or inhibiting a drop. Needs strong(er) concentration.
3b-441 - 4 mins - ___ .

(sport's parking)
5b casc varied - ~5 min.
7b casc - ~48 min. ___ 55, 49, 49, 61, 60, 57, 53, 43, 52 throws' runs longer than 40 t. ___ [ daily7b III: 61 ]

#peripheral

brazil : switzerland

3b-441 - 76 mins - ___ worked myself up from several early around 33 throws runs to later several over 50, then 66 and 63 throws today's best. Didn't very much get to trying nicer, wider Ones, but rather went back to stable on failing those.
2b-01414 - 4 mins - ___ Not trivial, still, in the beginning, a bit puzzling to find into.
Rather felt like dulling the trivial ..
3b casc - 12 mins - ___ I think, one longer 7-8 or more minutes run (if not there might have been a forced collect amidst?).

# 5 clubs, 100 minutes

Today was a good/not good training session. I usually train outside at a park near my house. This park is approximately 700 acres, and some parts are really nice, while other are used as homeless encampments. Usually I frequent the nicer parts, but today I went to another spot a half a mile away from the usual location.

This spot has great potential because of the perfect balance of shade and sun, and the trees completely blocked the wind. But the ground was littered with cigarette butts, there were thousands.

Even worse, I believe that I witnessed grooming. A 30+ y.o. male sat and talked with a 13 y.o. in a grassy area in a secluded part of the park.

This location is an island in the park. There is a 120 yard paved path that goes down the center of the oval shaped island. There is a gazebo on one end, and a totem pole on the other. I was juggling at the gazebo end, and the man and child were at the totem pole end.

I saw the child when I arrived at the park at around 6:30AM. The child appeared to be sleeping rough. In spite of the 90 degree forecast, and current 65 degree temperatures, the child was wearing a light coat and winter cap that extended over the ears. The child was wearing soiled black pants.

While I was on the island, and the child was one the mainland, the child watched me train 5 clubs for 100 catches to collect. I was standing in the full morning sun, and I'm certain that it looked magnificent. I was going to finish there, but I realized that I forgot to work on bxx. I moved to a shady spot along the path.

At this point, I am the only person on the island, and I have a clear view of the bridge. I could see everyone who came and left the island.

While I was training bxx the child walked behind me. As the child walked behind me, I acknowledged the child. The child was holding a mobile . And the child acknowledged me.

Several minutes later, I saw a man walk across the bridge. He was 5'8", 185lbs and had a body fat percentage of 35%. The graying stumble on his pasty face was 5/16" long. He was wearing a mesh back hat and aviator type sunglasses. His full zip hoodie was unzipped and his gray training pants were too baggy for running.

He awkwardly walked behind me while he looked at his is mobile. His body language made it apparent that he was about to do something that is wrong, and he was worried about the consequences of being caught. In contrast to the smile I saw on the face of the child, the man did not look happy to see me.

I was very uneasy about this. After a few minutes, I looked to see what they were doing. They were sitting on the grass and talking in a secluded part of the park. I decided that the best course of action was to continue training. I was going to train until they left to see if they were going to leave together, but I got tired and had to leave first.

It boggles my mind how a something like human trafficking can take place right next to a playground in an affluent neighborhood.

So yesterday - even though I'm not through yet with trying everything in question out - already gave, that there's a lot of tricks, I can do looking through the pattern, but not anytime right away ( then not "watching", but "staring at" and missing the soccer game with full focus on the pattern needed ).

- okay: ___ .. 3b casc. .. 2b-01414 .. 3b freestyle, fastest, reverse-mix, (single) back of hand, (single) claws, (single) penguins, (single) backcrosses ( short spotting required so far ) .. 3b 4 2=ELCURL 3 .. 3b elcrook stalls ( 3_THROW_INTO_STALL 3 3 3_WITH\WHILE_2nd_BALL_STALLED 3_TAKE_STALL_REACHOVER_INTO_COLUMN_THERE ).
- difficult \unclear yet: ___ .. 3b inv box ( rather: yes, with some practise ) .. 5b casc low ( rather not ).
- refuted: ___ .. 3c casc (spins need constant spotting)

france : australia

contact butterflies - 10 mins - ugly, but valid and okay. bad with weakhand.
contact on arm to arm horizontal - 1 mins - can get it with chest helping, but still awkward, droppy anyway, very difficult anything involving weakhand. ( So: no )
1c flourishes - 5 mins - better with full focus, got a few "over index + thumb" rolls, mostly dropping, arm was in the way for rolls over handback. ( no )

( on river's meadow )
3b 200gr, freestyle, misc - ~15 min.
5 heavy balls, 200 gr casc - ~5 min.
9b flashing - ~24 min. ___ One 8 gathers, several almosts. One 7 c + 2 (full-hands-)touches in the rhythm.

#peripheral

argentina : iceland

ball spinning - 2 mins - ___ impossible - need to watch the ball.
1b bbb, or 3b pinball style - 4 mins - ___ pinball: not my thing, balls won't roll. leaning foreward is awkward juggling in an uncomfortable tensed position (esp. shoulders). ___ touches: tried 1b and touches at apex only, which worked well; even leaned back now to have the arms hanging more and the balls touch more against my back and that also worked well. still not really fun. ( no\maybe )
1b catching bbb , rev st , fx , rev bx - 54 mins - ___ routine: rev st -- fx -- a.s.o. weakhd much worse. upto four throws. did without aiming at first. whd still bad (at aiming, at catching, at knowing where the ball lands). makes sense to start a stint with whd only shoulderthrows for calibration. .. it's the weakhand's rev shouldethrows that are worst. fx only went well (always both hands involved), over 10 catches. also rev bx. ___ better now without whd rev st. ___ did another few bbb (throws and catch), shoulder is better trained now from those few minutes; and alternating them with front throws is also an option. ___ #exercise: bend foreward, then do with hanging arms, hands pointing inward to excise with same handholding, but looking. ___ stuck to frontcrosses now, that seem easiest so far, and got upto 16 catches in a row and a rhythm. soon time for this with one more ball. __ great practise, nice fast improvement (well, 1b), increases general bodyawareness in the blind zone behind the back. ( ok )

5b casc varied - ~10 min.
9b flashing - ~33 min. ___ 12, 11, 11 throws, 8 gathers, 12, 11 throws.

#peripheral

peru : denmark

3b box - 7 mins - not used to synch, did 3s instead 1s. better when I focussed on aiming the columns nicely straight up. got it fluent briefly, like 12 throws (6 synch pairs), so felt, like this could be very easy, once the moves will be burnt into the brain. .. didn't feel like learning sth new right now, tho, and couldn't really fully focus on soccer. ( maybe )
3b-441 - 65 mins - notably better with asynch 1s and4s, stuck to this for a while; not all stable or fluent, but can go into collects rather than dropping a lot. around 12 to 24 throws, improving. .. .. .. thinking it 4 | 14 now [typing while practising], kind 'a (in a three beat, but) in two movements. #ThinkAs .. .. .. got aware of its alternating pistons' optics now, but orienting on that on the long run takes focus off from getting the Ones well and is therefore somewhat puzzling too. .. .. .. could just do and count now, got upto 36 c cl. ( ok )

3b casc - 21 mins - ___ 13 drops :o( one forced collect. longest runs upto 4½ mins. ___ balls crossing the monitor aren't a problem, as, first, they're fast, second, balls are too near to cover both eyes' view. ___ never intended any reverse throws, but my hands did reverse bail outs ``all by themselves´´; also saved a few collisions back to pattern. __ seemed to run best when fully focussed on the game (ugly game, many fouls), felt like walking then.___ when my wades got tensed from standing straight, bent my knees a bit or swayed from one foot to the other.

portugal : spain

3b inv box - 8 mins - too droppy, possible, an option, but a bit too challenging for the moment, can't really watch the game.
3c casc singles - 12 mins - short runs to collect, still drops, spins need spotting it seems. unapt for peripheral (for me).
2b-01414 - 9 mins - tricky .. landed in a mix with °423°, didn't click yet. had to focus on the pattern, even though plain looking literally at the game, missed ronaldo's 2 : 1 and couldn't have told, how it happened.
[short break]
more 2b-01414 - 14 mins - ___ much better, got it very low, fluent and speedy and caught Costa's 2 : 2 and Nacho's 2 : 3 with one eye or one and half.
5b casc - 16 mins - ___ hardly over a qualify, best runs around 14 catches. An option, if I manage to get used to doing while looking through the pattern and downward on the tv set, or to respectively position my tv higher; else not.
3b casc, freestyle, div - 16 mins - ___ intended to chill with a smoothly stable 3b cascade, but from a few reverse throws that unintendedly ``happened´´ - and I let it happen and go on - got into a reverse + normal mix, then into freestyling including back of hand, claws, even backcrosses are possible with a brief look for spotting their catch ( like when waiting for a corner or a free kick ). Then stuck a while with 4 2=ELCURL 3 which worked a couple 'a times, but got many fails after that. Also cascade with an elcrook-stall is possible, though also can get droppy.

Been reading Peter Bone's article "32 tips on flashing high numbers of balls" that was posted on the forum, gave me the idea to train 7b flashes in small groups of attempts with little rests in between, so today I started making 10 attemtps, taking a breather, 10 more, and so on. Feels good, like not so tiring. And it's working...
I made 2 flashes in the first 3 rounds of 10 :)
5 rounds, total of 2 flashes. took me like half an hour, but felt right, gonna keep on doin it like that.
Maybe do the same with the runs beyond the flash?
yeah... but maybe 50 flashes it's too much, got to the runs too tired, and couldn't get good runs.

Good bounce session. strong 3b cascade. broke PR both on 3 and 5 balls. :)
(I know it's still in the low numbersto be talking about "braking a PR", but every step up counts, every step up has a value, and a price)

# 9 balls flashing, #StagesOfLearning, 7 balls, 5 balls, 250 minutes

pre-session: second day in a row becoming notably fresher, colder now even, now 17°-19°C; seems like great conditions for good arms, good practise, .. hope its not too cold.

Was mild or fresh rather than cold.

5b casc varied - ~12 min.

9b flashing - ~125 min. ___ [timeline:] ,,, 10 t(hrows), 8 g(athers), 11 t into 7 g, ,,, did a few mins as low as can here, 8 g, ,,, three x 8g, 11 t, 8 g, ,,, 11 t.

different ways of doing or focus on:
- keep first ball spotted for timing and orientation for pattern's shape of the rest,
- do more fromout near the middle (also = low crossing point) plus aiming by handthrust and angles only (fire 'em all up from there),
- do more near my body - imagined a ``wall´´ right in front of me that I should be doing within,
- I have come back to `splitting´ the launch into two slow first throws, then fire up restly 7b fully automized, .. used to hesitate after the first two throws and keep their slow rhythm, .. now I just go right into firing up restly 7b at sudden(!) higher full speed ( slightly increasing height; and without hesitating; not even really aiming ), so that it's more of an all-of-a-piece launch, just not the first two throws hurried too, but those aimed well. #SoL

7b casc - ~113 min. ___ Long time bad, somewhat used up arms, at first: (37, 39), 41, (39, 37), then became better, fresher, almost `unleashed´, but for shoulders burning just a bit: 50, 44, 53 throws longest runs. ___ [ daily7b III: 53 ]

# 9 balls flashing, 7 balls, 5 balls, #jugglingSpots, 145 minutes

new spot: just high enough for 9b .. roof's gable beam serving for symmetry .. but queer light with notable contrast, two long transparent rows in the roof providing light, but also always disturbing as background; then also light shining in from the open sides of the hall when catching.
5b casc varied - ~10 min.
9b flashing - ~75 min. ___ Two times 8 gathers in a row. Once 11 throws.
7b casc - ~60 min. ___ 47, 46, 45 throws' runs longer than 40 t. Often felt good, did swift well. ( fresh temperatures gave good arms ) ___ [ daily7b III: 47 ]

# 3-7 balls, 5 clubs, 1 minutes

Training went well, and a few people were sitting on the grass watching me.

I finished my training session with a short run of 5c triples (to collect). While I was walking back to my bag to pack things up, one of the children watching me said, "I wonder what he is going to do next." The statement was not directed toward me, but I replied anyway.

I said, "I am going to go eat dinner, see you later."

One of the parents in the group said, "Good job."

It was super awkward for me because it felt like she was congratulating me on my plan to eat dinner.

Also ran 7 balls for 21 catches (to collect) for some dude's insta.

# 5-7 balls, 3-5 Clubs, 60 minutes

Ran 7b for 209 throws. PR for outside.

Ran 5c for 100 catches to collect on second try.

# joggling, 3 balls, 3 clubs, 4 clubs, learning, practising, 17 minutes

Special short training for things that I do worst probably
• 5 min of joggling 3b
• learning juggling 4 clubs (it is impossible probably, because every time I throw it and it fells down it hits my wrist and it is too painful)
• practising 3 clubs tricks

Clubs are probably my worst props - I mean like I can´t master it at all, maybe because I have received them as my last juggling prop and because my trainings are too short.

# 3 balls, workshop, 1 minutes

This wasn´t like real juggling, I was teaching few people from karate to juggle 3 balls, so I have showed them how to do it and few tricks

Total practice time: 18 minutes

Locations: At home, Chropyně
