Before you commit

Baton Twirling

  • Chasing a dropped baton across the floor for weeks would frustrate you.
  • Catching it on your knuckles instead of your palm would put you off.
  • You'd rather not drill one flat spin for an hour straight.

Singing

  • Wincing at your own recorded voice would stop you before you started.
  • Slow, physical progress on breath and pitch would feel too intangible.
  • The vulnerability of being heard sounds like something to avoid, not embrace.
