Walter & Group...
[GH] More answers to my question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From Tom Dempsey:
Permeation or diffusion a.k.a. Being around good casters absorbing thru the skull to your brain like a horny toad absorbs water thru his skin.
Tom in Mobile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[GH] Tom: True. Community with other casters helps breed success. Helps a lot if added to what I'm searching.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From Alain Laprade:
Gordy,
by watching Pros and non Pros. By imitation and one i already mention in learning by feeling is breathing.
"Gordy, one trick I used for golf coaching was to keep your breathing in tempo. Applying it for casting: inhale on the backstroke and excel on the forward stroke it is just fantastic. Now imagine coupled with your body movement and sometime with closed eyes. I'd like some feedback on that."

[GH] Alain... After you sent that message, I tried working on timing by timing my inhalation and exhalation with my stroke timing. Interesting effect which I think could be useful when teaching. I haven't tried it yet on students.
I think it fits with what I'm seeking.

>From JF Lavalee:
Obviously this takes for granted that practice is already included into the various methods since ‘to feel’ and ‘trial and error’ imply that you are yourself casting thus practicing.
Just as I’m about to press send, an other answer pops up to mind.
One that actually concerns us all as instructors….. teaching J
What a great way to learn!
And if I can, I’ll make this my final answer since feedback would be included in teaching.
So short answer = teaching.
Cheers

From Bob Hansell:
Learning by Teaching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[GH] JF & Bob: Good call!!
When we teach, we learn ! Sometimes I even learn from my most troublesome student. I think we should add that to our list of "ways we learn" even though it isn't what I'm looking for in answer to my question.

>From Ken Cole:
Hi Gordy
We had a great holiday. Karen caught her personal best rainbow, over 22" and over 4#.
Most everything that comes to mind in your exercise seems to be a mash-up of those you listed.
Then, there are two that I rely on; learning by casting with peers, and, maybe more important to me, learning by teaching.
Here's to a vey Happy New Year to you, yours, and everyone on the list.
Ken Cole

[GH] Great catch! My congrats to Karen.
You are very close. It speaks to putting it all together.

[GH] From Todd Heggestad:
Hello Gordy, Here is my reply. An additional way we learn is through questions. Which is to say, through curiosity. As an instructor we want to lead our students toward answers they discover and in doing so creating learning as a positive experience. Use of the questions "What if you..." or "How would you..." lead a student to use many of their abilities to see, hear, or feel to a knowing sense of learning. Watching a students "aha moment" is just such an example of learning through the art of questioning.
Todd Heggestad, CCI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[GH] Todd...
Sure. That is what I am doing with you now !
Take it one step further and ask yourself what the student must do to get to that wonderful "aha moment" after going through all the other methods of learning to achieve it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[GH] From Ted Warren:
Yes. Another effective method. A way of direct teaching.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Jim Valle:
Gordy,
I am going to say “Sleeping on it”, Visualization or Dreaming.
I am pretty sure you taught me this in one of our many mentoring sessions, quite a while ago, in a galaxy far, far away!
Jim V
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[GH] Jim,
We did discuss that at length. I've solved many of my own casting problems over the years during the night.
Sometimes I'd have a very complex operation to perform on a patient the next morning.... and a better approach to that problem would come to me as I slept.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[GH] I'm happy to report that Steve Smith has HIT THE NAIL SQUARELY ON THE HEAD !
I won't send his answer yet, however, because as each of you send in these great teaching answers, we are all learning as we do this.
