I've been making steady progress in plate spinning, juggling, and diabolo, but some areas still need more practice.

Plate Spinning – I can keep the plate balanced for longer and transition between hands, though I still drop it sometimes when moving too fast.

Juggling – My three-ball juggling is improving, but I still struggle with consistency. I’ve tried to do a trick, but it's challenging to maintain control.

Diabolo – I can get the diabolo spinning and move it smoothly, but I need more practice to keep it stable for longer periods. Tossing and catching is still tricky.

ISMART Goals Checkpoint
My next checkpoint is in 3-4 weeks, where I aim to hit all my targets for basic proficiency in all three skills. To get there, I need to focus on control, consistency, and timing in each skill.

I strongly belive that others approval plays a big role in motivation. For example to make a rep squad in sport. Because of this that specific person will want to pick you which than adds a reward of making the sqaud also along with his/her approval. which states that other peoples approval have an impact on peoples motivation

Another point to consider is punishment has a huge part in motivation, for example in sports training , making a mistake could result in a team punishment motivating not to do so. which is clear that punishment is another motivation boost

The Cognitive Stage is the initial phase in which you learn the basic movements of a skill and make many mistakes. You rely heavily on conscious effort and thinking to perform the task.

The Associative Stage is when you start refining your skills, making fewer mistakes, and improving consistency. You focus on practice and correcting small errors.

Autonomous Stage is when the skill becomes automatic and requires little conscious thought. You can perform the skill with ease and focus on improving other aspects or adding complexity.

I am slowly moving onto the associative level from cognative because 6/10 times I can get the plate to spin but i wanna improve by getting it more often to then being able to add a trick by throwing it in the air then catching it while it continues to spin.

I'm at associative level because on my second turn i got the hang of it really quick even adding a trick to the skill by balancing it with a spin then throwing it in the air , catching it then cotinuing to spin it. Im looking foward to be able to move up to atonomus by practicing more and more getting the technique down to the best of my ability then adding more tricks

I'm currently learning at a cognative level in the case of learning how to juggle, going further in I'm going to be learning step by step how to juggle from a 1:30 min youtube video doing so. in hopes of improving to associative level

Extrinsic Motivation comes from external rewards or pressures, such as trophies, praise, or recognition. It encourages practice through outside influences rather than personal enjoyment.

Intrinsic Motivation comes from within and is driven by personal enjoyment or the desire to improve. It leads to practicing a skill because it is enjoyable or fulfilling.

Positive Feedback highlights what you did well, reinforcing correct actions and boosting confidence. It focuses only on the strengths of your performance.

Negative Feedback identifies what you did wrong, helping you understand mistakes and areas for improvement. It focuses solely on the errors without mentioning what was done well.

Constructive Feedback combines both positive and negative aspects, guiding what was done well and what needs improvement. It helps you understand how to correct mistakes while reinforcing your strengths.

Whole Practice is when you practice the entire skill from start to finish without breaking it into parts.

Massed Practice involves continuous practice with little to no breaks.

Part Practice is when you break a skill into smaller parts and practice them separately.

Distributed Practice includes short practice sessions with regular breaks in between.

I've been making great progress in my plate spinning, juggling, and diabolo skills and have hit all my targets so far

Plate Spinning – I can now balance the plate confidently and transition between hands. I’ve also started practicing small tricks like tossing and catching.

Juggling – I can juggle three balls consistently and have improved my rhythm. even adding simple tricks to it.

Diabolo – I can keep it spinning and control basic movements, though advanced tricks still need work. My timing and coordination are improving.

ISMART Goals Checkpoint
Since I’ve hit all my targets, my next checkpoint is in two weeks, where I want to perform all three skills at an autonomous level—meaning I can do them smoothly without overthinking. That will require more practice and confidence in my tricks.

Describe what we did: We played a game were each team of 4 had to perform a circus skill, but if one were to fail the skill, the team was to be eliminated til a team was to victor
Q2: How did this impact your performance? (pressure / environment / pass v fail) it impacted my team as we were the last one to perform , meaning our performance was enhanced by the motivation to be the only team to win as the pressure of other teams making noises to try and throw us off motivated us more.
Q3: How did 'Types of Feedback' link to this lesson and your performance? (was this constructive, useful feedback??) Positive and Constrution feed back was given as in the moment telling each other to take your time and focus on your wrist movement along with cancelling the distractions out being recived by the other teams, then the positive feed back being things like good focus on your plate spinning and keeping in control.
