Owning the Move

In every generation there is a hero or an athlete who surpass the old ones.

The development of new material, new workouts and better technical understanding makes the sport easier to get good at than previously, however, still you need to have an athlet who surpasses the old ones.

This is seldom with physical attributs.
In Golf for example Tiger Woods dosnt have an advantage with length, or more power.
In Tennis the endurance and strength are seldom a deciding factor who wins even as Roger Federer been nr1 for a long time.

The factors that play a role are how well the athlete can stay in the same state, keep the good form (technique) and think strategically and use a good gameplan.

Owning the move is such an approach to sports.

The idea is to find the optimal way to perform the moves in the particular sports according to ones physiology and anatomy and then when the moves is down, incoding it until you own it.

If you can do so, then you always have a move that you can perform under pressure, under stress, and you can do it.

This happens due to how I approached the game of Golf.

Setting my outcome in the way I did this year, I had to find a learning process that would allow me to play the level I wanted, to do so I needed a few key variables to be there. I cant train more and I needed to train smarter.

Using the compound effect of experience over the years, I came up with owning the move as an approach to learning motions in sports, fast, effectivly and permanent.

To do so I needed a way to not be dependent on emotions, beliefs and states of consiousness.
As many athlets say, I didnt played well and was sloppy due out of form, tired, nervous, out of shape, etc...

I needed an approach that would allow me to truly own the move.
I used my knowledge in NLP and modeling and the experience gained over the years.
Seting the futurebased outcome with evidence, I had a way to measure my progress, I also would know if I got it and that I could only train from the right and correct approach from the ground up, I had to know if I am going to play that what I do are working or not.

This set up for me an approach that I slowly uncovered over the weeks I started practice golf.

Owning the move means that you are doing it technically right and that you have a whole form level of knowing you can do it.
Its like a handshake, or cykling, when its down, its down.
You can just do it.

What typically happens when people learn is to add complexity to what they are learning.
Doing trail and error is what we do, until we can do it, however for our neurology we have several ways we have practised this trail and error.
We seldom en-code the final move into a sorted out context.
Its like phonenumbers, we get the right call if we use the right phonenumber, but press one number wrong and we end up elsewhere even if the same area code has been used.

This is also the reason I have struggled for years with golf, I never knew the move, then when I started to learn it, my body could not do it.
Frustration hit me, I know what the move was like, I had enough information from text and video but my body since it havent done it could not do it.
So I spend a few hours to find the move, it took me around 5 hours to find it.

Then as soon as I got it, know how to do it, it was obvious.
The important here is to not pay attention to what does not work as your learning, just measure, is it the move I want?

In athletics Susanna Kallur is said to be on of the best technical running 100 meter hurdles.
There is nothing to stop the others to get the same technical advantage.
They cant get it due to a lack of knowing how to get it and doing it.
So they keep doing the old patterns and old technique over and over.

When the move is found, its obvious and can then be created over and over again.
Its sorted out automatically, my body now knows, how its to be done.
What is left for me to do is to Optimize this move so it becomes the power base I need to compete.

Owning the move is beyound beliefs, its actually a know how for the body.
Its also a whole form experience.
Which means,
if you enter a field of grass, sea or something where you just say, its beautyful.
Now, can you describe it?
The description your trying to do is not the beauty, agreed?
But as soon you see it, you know, right?
Its beautyful.

For you this means the sensation is a whole form one. Its not possible to describe it, its not possible to use NLP to model how people know this due to its not a HOW TO........
Since modeling are based on analyzing behaviour, beliefs and states we cant model the lack of a HOW TO in beauty.

So, I used the knowledge and experience from NLP and modeling a system of whole form knowledge and experience.
What I found was a lot of missconceptions along with a truly great way to understand the world.

I am most likely one of the few in the world who knows this difference, maybe the only one.

So, what do I do with this then?
I apply it on Golf, learning the motions and finding out how far can I go with it.

Owning the move is to find the basic unit that allows the movement and motion to be made with the intended result which are evidenced based and measureable.

Of course there is more to it.
But that is for another time and place.
