A Leveled-Up Experience

There are moments when an athlete experiences this:

Not “Doing” it:

… the feeling of floating-

looking-in;

(Like watching a movie)

… not doing it,

but watching your body do it

and learning from it.

Being annoyed tenses muscles.

Too Many Instructions

“Let Go of any reigns which are not currently in your hands!”

Expecting the Impossible

“A Trainer

enough instructions
to paralyze the rider.”
The best way to find synchronicity is to Trust,
