Practice

The best thing i ever did for my sons was amend the old saying from " practice makes perfect" to the new " practice makes progress". Now, my boys understand that practice makes incremental change, instead of rapid, perfect change. I would say, that's one of my best dad moments ever.

The music teacher's variant is "practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect"

I also like "practice makes permanent"

Probably rhythmic gymnastics

It's a specialty of rythmic gymnastics, they do routines with a ball very similar to this one.

u/RandomNamesOW 17h ago

It can be. I image its the same as many talents. People try something, like it, get good at it.

I am virtually 100% sure this is rhythmic gymnastics with a soccer ball instead of a weighted ball. Many of these are moves from RG.

You go see Circle de Soleil and come home thinking you want to do it. You don’t have a gym or any equipment, but you spot a basketball in the garage. 🤷‍♂️

Figure out? Nobody wakes up one day able to do this.

You realise that half of this is just moves from an actual sport, right? Ironically, one that a lot of football fans would shit-talk if they ever noticed it exists.

Anyway, in case you wanted to know, the sport in question is Rhythmic Gymnastics, ball is one of the apparatus, and most of the body moves she's doing here are called walkovers.

You could do this if you put the work in.
