Tao of DiscDog Excerpt – Chapter 1 Section 4 – Organized Despair

Ron October 2, 2018

Performance and learning are often at odds. Performance is the output of knowledge and skill and learning is the input. Performance shows while learning seeks. Mistakes are the way of learning and unacceptable in performance. It is best to handle them one at a time. If you are performing, train and think between reps.
Trying to perform and learn at the same time is a recipe for disaster. How can you demonstrate a skill you are trying to learn? You can perform or you can learn, but you can’t do both. ”
Excerpt From: Ron Watson. “Tao of Disc Dog.”.

The Tao of DiscDog is available for Pre-Order. To be released Halloween 2018.

Patron’s Choice: Vaulting Principles | Disc Dog Vaulting Concepts

There is a lot more to a vault than the definition. There is a reason you can’t just watch a YouTube video and get an understanding of the vaulting process. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you know how to do it, or how it is done; performance is not understanding. This is very evident when it comes to vaulting.

Throwing the disc to promote a big leap, to hit the dog in stride on the run or throwing a disc that your dog is going to flip for 10 yards away, is the sign of a mature handler.
