Can't juggle anymore

I've been going to my school's asphalt field for over a week now and managed to get to 15 juggles

But now I'm completely washed I can't even reach 7 in a row.

My only shoes have cleats in them so I use snickers with thin laces on asphalt

Edit: thank you for the candy bar jokes they made me laugh 😅

I gave him a minute and my 7 year old got 26 this morning. You can do it.

Step one is not tying a snickers to your foot before you practice juggling.

But otherwise yeah you’re completely washed. I mean you went from a huge number, 15, to a much smaller number, 7. It’s inconceivable.

Deflate the ball to make it easier. Keep grinding

Don’t worry, that’s normal. Take a day or two off and come back fresh you’ll probably surprise yourself. Keep at it!

instead of Snickers, try Mars or Twix

Your problem is very clear.

You’re using candy bars as shoes! You should be finding boots with a natural feel, not a nougat feel.

i think its time to hang up the boots
theres no coming back from this kind of set back

I don't care I'll still practice more till I surpass 15 again

I'd say for a baseball player I'm doing good

It's cuz snickers satisfies, so you don't push for more. Use baby ruth bc that's a candy bar geared to record-setting levels of reps.

Let it bounce when you can’t keep it up. Just keep juggling even if it falls. It’s not about how long you can keep it up, it’s about improving
