I don't really think about the degree of difficulty or the possibility of making a mistake. I just try to relax and let my preparation and training take over.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Through the learning experiences, I've been trying to eliminate mistakes. I don't want the same mistake to happen twice.
When you make mistakes during routines, it's not easy getting through them.
People believe practice makes perfect, but it doesn't. If you're making a tremendous amount of mistakes, all you're doing is deeply ingraining the same mistakes.
I can only put myself in the process and try to learn through the process. Sometimes it will go well and sometimes it won't.
But part of the enjoyment I take in it is finding the most efficient way to do it, which doesn't mean the corrections aren't made. I like to have a feeling of the whole task before I start, even if it changes.
I try to create an environment where it's okay to make a mistake, though it's not okay to be unfocused or come in unprepared. I'm challenging and demanding, but very patient. I don't tell you how to get there and I don't show you what to do, though I'll ask leading questions.
If you do the same thing all the time, it's not very challenging.
I mean, the general rule is if you're not prepared to make a mistake, you're not going to make much progress.
If you don't occasionally make a mistake, you aren't trying hard enough.
When it comes to performance, I don't like to prepare at all if I don't have to.
