About
Want to be a better athlete? If yes, juggling is the skill for you. Juggling increases eye-hand coordination, reflexes, and coordination, which are skills that any athlete or person can benefit from.
🕵️Ever wanted to feel like Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot with his "little grey cells?" Studies have found that learning how to juggle can increase the density of grey matter.
Finally, do you want to impress your friends and family? If you asked all of them if they knew how to juggle, you might get 1 or 2 who answered "yes." Juggling is a skill you can pull out at parties, talent shows 😉, or just impressing your friends in the lunch room.
Throughout this series, you will learn how to juggle. Not only that, though, you will also learn why you should juggle(hint, there are ALOT of reasons), how to practice your skills, and what you can do to create a juggling community.
Every two weeks, we’ll focus on one new skill. Then, throughout the rest of the week, you’ll get some office hours where you can ask for help with form or just come to a focused place to practice. Some times, we’ll even have additional sessions to talk about juggling (like the math behind it and it’s history) I can’t wait to see you there!
Materials:
If you don’t have juggling balls, no worries! You can use rolled up socks (or any other piece of clothing, just, for your sake, make sure it’s clean), tennis balls(that’s what I’ll be using), or any other round object that you are okay repeatedly dropping on the floor! :) (just make sure there are three of them)
