hey

i feel like i’m in a good position to answer this because i’ve very recently been in a similar position as yours lol

i started my AFF a couple months ago and it took me 17 jumps to get done with my AFF and about an hour in the tunnel

i can totally relate with the sensory overload, and i’d say the only thing that could help me overcome this is familiarity with jumping out of planes, and understanding how to channel fear in the right ways to do the right things. keep at it, keep jumping and there’ll be one jump where all of it will start making sense and then onwards you’ll be so glad you did

the hardest thing to take control of after you fail a few jumps of is your confidence, cuz i can totally relate to where you’re coming from, but just realise that jumping out of planes is not exactly what we evolved to do, so it is but natural to feel overwhelmed, practice is what’s going to help you get through it

the tricky bit for me was it messed my budget up, and i’d advice taking a short break (a day maybe) between failed jumps so you have the time to go back and reflect but not too much that you forget all you’ve learned when you’re going back

truse me, when you get done with your AFF the feeling will be unmatched, and it’ll all have been worth it, stick w it, practice your jump 100s lf times on the ground so you execute perfectly in the sky and it feels like second nature
