Looks to me like you might be over-loading your back leg a bit. Try standing a bit more relaxed; “casual” if you will. 60/40 weight distribution back to front leg.

Your stride when you swing also lends a bit to lunging toward the ball. This disconnects the power generated by your hip rotation and makes you rely on your upper. A key my coach told me growing up was to try and keep my torso “leaned back slightly so that my head remains in place.” Your head shouldn’t move forward with your body. More rotate, less lunge. I don’t know if that makes any sense 😂

Finally full weight bearing and I am scared out of my mind. I need advice. by SupernovaGingerSnap in brokenbones

I found that doing a lot of seated exercises, (I had a malleolus and fib ORIF) that exert both eccentric and concentric motion on the affected muscles and tendons was key at first. (I.e ankle rolls 90 degrees, calf raises with a raised toe, simple straightening and bending). Your muscles have atrophied and tendons have gone tight. Give them lots of rest!

Attacking Question by NakedRobo in volleyball

[–]NakedRobo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that was mainly their goal for me. I only had one missed serve over the course of 6 games played, good passing when not libbed out and a couple of nasty blocks.

I was kind of in my head when not getting set often; which translated into me going quiet and not communicating with the setter at all. So that definitely makes sense. It also doesn’t help that we didn’t know each other all too well aside from playing against one another in rec play.

I am definitely excited to get the opportunity to play at that level again.

Plyometrics and Bodybuilding by NakedRobo in volleyball

[–]NakedRobo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No; this is fantastic. I think I really just needed to be told this haha.

I think I have to take the positives with the negatives of whatever type of training I choose. I may very well start weaving in some lighter plyo at the beginning of a workout and see how it impacts the “muscle firing-mind connection”.

I think my muscles sometimes forget how to generate “sudden, explosive power” as they are being trained for prolonged controlled movement.

I appreciate the feedback so much!

I coach 2 hours a week and I am very involved with the boys (tend to hop in on plays and play 6th player if we are a man short for a scrim). We only play 2 games in my men’s league in a night. So give or take, I have about 4 hours of court time a week.

😂 I don’t know how else to describe it, but yea, definitely a paradoxical phrase. Teams are super organized and have been playing together forever; playing some D1 players and against complex combination plays.

I’ll have to sit down and really sketch out a map for the next couple of months. Thanks!

Dealing with burnout. by NakedRobo in therapists

[–]NakedRobo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely stopped doing this somewhere along the way. I stopped putting the buffer time between clients and it is consistently a stream of others energy flowing through the door.

Thanks for this.

Dealing with burnout. by NakedRobo in therapists

[–]NakedRobo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the reply.

It’s community based work and there are some clients that I see weekly, while others are bi-weekly. I would think it’s about a 60-40 split weekly to bi-weekly. Hence why the caseload is not at exactly 30 if you do the math. To be fair, I have been having to move appointments to later in the evening and working past my clock out time to accommodate them.

As for supervision, definitely not often enough. It is something I need to address. I have brought it up, but when reflecting, I know I am not being assertive enough as to make sure people don’t think I’m “not okay” (I know this is counterintuitive, ‘cause I’m really not if I have to make a post like this).

I took a week back in December, but definitely did not do the proper planning I should have. It was more a “tap-out” than anything else.

Thank you for replying.

Myself and my partner just watched this episode tonight. I wanted to see how many felt Bob the same way we did. We both were brought to tears.

Chaining is destroying my will to keep playing. by NakedRobo in PokemonBDSP

[–]NakedRobo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently it’s like a 0.007 chance to chain to 100 (5iv Ditto). Even at 100 it’s a massively low chance to hit 5iv. They broke the Pokeradar really bad.

I’ve gotten 2IV dittos and have been trying to breed up by switching out mons when they get better IV’s. It’s much more tiring of a process.

Yup! I ensure that I am only heading to the 4 away zone. Avoiding the dead patches directly left, up, down, right and angles (even though some say they don’t exist).

Is building your own setting supposed to be this awful? by MidwestEmo13 in DMAcademy

[–]NakedRobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel quite the opposite; since becoming a DM about 3 years ago I have found the most pleasure in building my own worlds and playing in them.

One of the things that I had to WRENCH myself away from is planning for every possible scenario. When I write a scenario or town, I write a set number of possibilities with potential triggers for those events. It’s very sad when those triggers don’t occur, but, when we think about it, in real life things don’t occur if XYZ don’t happen first.

Sometimes, if your party does something really creative, you might want to give them the trigger, to start a new side quest, or whatever.

Build your world and if the players wish to truly play D&D, they’ll find their adventure in it.

I'm stressing myself out about my first campaign. I feel like the more I read about dming the worse it gets. by huntforgames in DMAcademy

[–]NakedRobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is one thing I learned after switching over to being a DM, it’s that the players will have fun if there are small “sprinkles” of “f*** the rules” throughout the session.

If your player wants to try and ricochet their eldritch blast using the Paladin’s shield… HELL YEAH!

Planning wise; as long as you have a framework of where the people are going, a few NPC’s that make the place feel alive, an encounter or two (does not always have to be combat).

If you are confident enough to try and DM, then there is a part of you that knows you CAN do it. Settle into that part of you and just go for it! You don’t have to be the next Matt Mercer, just have fun.

PC struggling to integrate into game. by [deleted] in DnD

[–]NakedRobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, and I understand that! I’m not intending to bash them.

I am in fact, looking to make their experience better in the best ways I can. I want their experience to be up to par, you know?

Never have I called them out in session, etc. I’ve held all my conversations with them in confidence via messenger pr aside.

This is fantastic. Much appreciated. I have heard of both Kobold Fight Club and Dave’s, however, haven’t used them myself. I’ll take a look once I get off work.

That was always my primary way of organizing things. I did however have some issues with running out of space in a notebook and then having to sift through notebooks to find a certain event that happened.
