Re: Mental Practice
It will only be there 2 weeks later if they reinforce it with practice. Absolutely. I think we can also help by asking them to describe the new movement in their terms. Then it’s really coming from the source and they are more likely to both remember and recall it. It’s funny whenever I ask this ev...

Re: Mental Practice
It does make it difficult to know which one is working. If for example we show the video and then pantomime the correct movement, and the student gets better, how do we know that both were effective? Perhaps it would have been even better with just one. And of course the proof of this particular pud...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
It’s late here and I have to be up early for a zoom-zoom. Haven’t watched the video yet because I was on a beer and wine run for Mika and Satu who are arriving on Saturday. Don’t know how to get there with constraints, John, and I will think about that. Quite some time ago you asked about external c...

Re: Mental Practice
I don’t know John. It seems to work well at the time. But it’s now questionable to me a few weeks later. It does seem that the process of figuring things out is far more important than being just shown it. Quick fives are often quickly forgotten. Of course we use many tools normally in parallel. Che...

Re: Mental Practice
Hi John, In my particular case it was 170 backcast. I was trying to have the student accelerate the rod by straightening the forearm as opposed to powering from next to the body and trying to get into the 170 position afterwards. It clearly didn’t work. We have since got it to work. It might be inte...

Re: ICSF WC Flycasting Sweden 2024
The question is why do we meet in the first place? I can’t answer that question for everyone and probably not for anyone else apart from myself. There are different events. And not everyone who goes can win even one of them. I’m not going to win accuracy for example, not unless the Americans don’t g...

Re: ICSF WC Flycasting Sweden 2024
Hi Andy, Yep. We all have a ceiling where it’s going to be too expensive. That’s going to depend on how much money we have available and how much it defines who we are. Some are happy with these current costs, particularly if they are on a sponsored team or live in a country with a strong currency. ...

Cheers! I’ll have to watch this on my laptop or iPad later because I can’t read the text on my phone

Re: Mental Practice
Thanks John, Video analysis is interesting. The book Vince suggested reading didn’t recommend it as highly as I thought they would. I’ve found it useful, I think, in both my own casting as well as swim training. The reason however that it’s thought to not always be effective is because it can give “...

Re: ICSF WC Flycasting Sweden 2024
Well good. I wish them the best and I hope things can really move forward, Nils. I’m just concerned about these WCs because unfortunately I know a lot of people who aren’t going. They don’t have the high cost of airfares and the $400 ICSF individual membership fee to contend with that some of us hav...
