These Invisible Things Are Holding You Back

Missing
I see a lot of people who think their technique is preventing them from playing at a really high level. They think that their arms, wrists, fingers, and fulcrums are the cause of all their problems. Sure, all of those things are important. And you can certainly have problems with them. But in all reality… The people that blame their physical limbs for not being where they want to be are lying to themselves. But it's not because they're trying to. It's because they don't know what's actually holding them back. And you can't blame them. After all, these things are invisible. And if you don't know what they are and how to look for them they'll continue to hold you back without you ever knowing. Creepy, right? They're kind of like ghosts that constantly haunt you. They mess with your mind, cause you to second guess yourself, and make you place blame on irrelevant things. But they're not ghosts. They're misconceptions. You see, people have a lot of misconceptions about different aspects in the rudimental world. And these misconceptions can easily prevent you from reaching your full potential. But, if you "unlock" the misconceptions and correct them, you essentially open up the flood gates to improve your ability level. It's pretty incredible. And in this month's issue of Chop Out Challenge, you'll learn exactly what major misconception is preventing you from playing with some serious speed and agility.
