From Conscious Incompetence to Unconscious Competence - One Hoopers Journey

"HoopsieDaisy" of Hooping.org posted a "30/30 Hoop Challenge" early in 2011: 30 minutes of hoop-practice for 30 days. (January 8th to - February 6th 2011)

For this exercise I focused on one particular move, called "Paddling", that had been particularly challenging. At first I recorded myself to figure out ways to improve technique. Over time it became encouraging to see how constant practice created incremental improvements.

The title of this video references the "Four stages of competence". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence (I suppose this video doesn't really cover FOUR stages - as I already knew I didn't know how to paddle.)

Hope this incredibly amateurish video helps inspire you to master your own skill of interest. Remember: Practice makes improvement!

Special thanks to:

"Hoopsie Daisy" and Hooping.org for organizing the 30/30 Hooping Challenge.
