Coaching the juggling world

2:47 pm in Uncategorized by SondreOverby

Not that long ago, I proposed to the world of juggling – or at least to those couple hundred people that happened to watch my video – that I voulenteer to personally coach any juggler in the world that happens to want my opinion.

The response was pretty good. In about two days I had ten video responses with juggling that I was supposed to comment on, which was just about what I expected. I’ve probably gotten about fifteen in total, and I’ve replied to about half of it so far. I have some left.

If you want to see the remake of the initial video I posted, watch this:

Want me to help you?

Y0u can find all the responses I’ve made, right here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Yomay#grid/user/2D44D0F246606A6C

I thought that this could be a valuable service to the juggling community because there are so many people that juggle alone or with someone that cannot really tell them what to correct about their juggling or what to work on in order to improve without damaging their technique, and there didn’t seem to be that many people doing this – of course, there have been tutorials before, but not any adressing individual jugglers.

So therefore, I would encourage those that want help to send me a video response! If there are many people, the waiting lines might get long, so don’t lose your chance! Remember, it’s totally free! I may not be the best coach, but how many do YOU have to choose from?

Here before you is the third and last episode of the adventures of the leBotrio trio during their trip to Israel and Palestine in 2009. If you happened to miss out of the action of part 1 and 2 of the story here you should really read them first. click here for part one and here is part two.

For some reason we decided that Jokke and Ben would go to Tel Aviv with Yuval to get the new trampoline, and that Mikael could enjoy another day in paradise. It was a long trip, but worth it. The trampoline was an exact copy of a Eurotramp trampoline that we have at home. The bed was a little different, but fine to do the show. Another good thing8 was that we didn’t have to disassemble it completely to put it on the trailer. On the way back we stopped at an Arab restaurant, which was nice, because we kind of missed normal bread. Once back at the convention we put up the trampoline and were happy that finally all our problems were solved. That night there was a lot going on; First there was the Israeli gala show: It was amazing to see how high the level of juggling was in Israel, especially in diabolo. Second thing were the juggling Olympics: silly juggling games and endurance juggling. And to finish the evening there was a juggle jam: the concept is simple: if you have a nice trick you want to show, you just go on stage and people applaud you (or not).
