He threw all sorts of things, darts, knives, rocks etc. and even used his wrong hand. Although he initially regressed slightly he soon surpassed his best ever results.
It's a bit like improving the software for the program that executes that function in your brain. It's too easy to plateau on one sport/activity, you need to keep the brain challenged and it adapts.
Now, I have no idea if any of this nonsense applies to RC or not but I have totally convinced myself that it does and it's entirely the excuse I used with the wife for buying yet another car so I won't be told otherwise  |
I completely agree with that Carl, but if that archer ONLY threw knives with his other hand for doing this he would only sharpen himself for doing that eventually.
trying lots of different sports that are similar to the one you do helps for sure.
just like I believe playing xbox or playstation sharpens you up for RC, its all thumb/hand-eye co-ordination with no motion feedback
