Stay On Target!

Categories: Uncategorized Oct 16, 2013

Have you ever seen Star Wars? Of course you have. In the scene where the rebels are attacking the death star, on of the rebel pilots is telling another pilot to "Stay on Target." He was giving this command because they had a mission. They needed to stay on the target to complete the mission.

When babies roll, they often have a target, or a purpose to why they are rolling. Often a baby is trying to investigate something that he finds fascinating. A baby actually learns how to roll through the desire to explore and investigate - through a focusing on a target.

As adults, we can use this same strategy. Often, adults find rolling to be difficult; not because they can't roll, but because they don't have a target. Rolling can actually be quite frustrating for adults when they are trying to roll because they can't seem to think their way through it. The solution? Find a target. The desire to reach for something often helps the body discover the rolls that are hidden deep within.

Here is a video to explain what I am talking about:

If you are having trouble rolling, or it just doesn't seem as fluid as you think it should be, place some targets around you and discover if you can "coax" those rolls to roll out of you naturally.
You just might discover you are a very fluid roller.

Either way, roll on and roll often.
