In this video, I take you through a complete steel challenge stage, running it 5 consecutive times to demonstrate the balance between speed and accuracy - and what happens when you push too hard. 🎯 *The Experiment:* Watch as I progressively increase my speed with each run, building confidence and shaving time off my stage time. But there's a lesson in the final run when I get greedy with speed and learn exactly where my skill ceiling currently sits. ⏱️ *Run Breakdown:* • Run 1: Baseline - Safe and steady • Run 2: Slight speed increase, maintained accuracy • Run 3: Finding the rhythm, time drops • Run 4: Personal best territory, everything clicking • Run 5: The wheels fall off - speed without precision (In this competition it didn't matter because the worst time wasn't counted) 📊 *Key Learning Points:* - How to methodically build speed while maintaining hits - The importance of having a process vs. just "going fast" - Why missing costs you more time than slightly slower accurate shots - Finding your current skill ceiling and respecting it - The mental game when you're on a good streak 🧠 *The Mental Side:* Notice how confidence from good runs can lead to overconfidence. The final run shows what happens when you abandon your fundamentals in pursuit of speed. This is exactly how you should practice - push your limits, find your failure point, then back off 10% for your sustainable pace. ⚠️ *Training Tip:* In practice. it's good to push and find you're failure point, but during competition or when it matters most, you should run about 90% of your potential so you don't find your failure point. This video shows why!
