Slow.
Week 2 of the journal slows the movement down. Not so you throw slowly in a game, but so you have long enough to feel something that normally happens too fast to catch. These articles follow that idea in order: how slow is slow enough before the throw stops being a throw, what the body needs in order to learn from it, and the drill that puts it on the terrain. Read them in order the first time; after that, each stands on its own.
- Deeper dive Week 2: Slowness. Slow Enough to Notice, Normal Enough to Play A deeper review of Week 2 Slow Arm practice: how slowing the throw helps you feel more, judge less, and return to normal speed.
- Deeper dive Give the Body Something to Learn Why a coaching cue only becomes useful once it points back to something you have actually felt in the throw.
- Drill The Late Release Drill A solo pétanque drill: throw over a reference point in the air at half speed, then at your own rhythm, and find out what carried across.
Slow is Week 2 of the printed journal’s six-week cycle.
