I had a global brain injury, and several years ago, I started teaching myself to juggle. I still can't get past a fourth throw, but I'm trying. I find that my juggling is a good indication of how stable my brain is.
A simple tip is that its not really about catching the balls. You want to just kinda scoop the balls. Ideally you shouldn't need to move your hand to be able to scoop the ball. Get your throws consistent instead. When it falls apart for most people it starts to drift away from your body. You can see she does this a few times and manages to correct it and get it back on course. I would also recommend throwing it only slightly above your eye level. Keep up the good work.
I was a professional juggler (The Flying Karamazov Brothers) for 34 years. Last year i got a diagnosis for ADHD. It makes so much sense - it's like hyper-stimming
I love that you persevere and continue to practise for years even though you haven’t yet managed to get past that fourth throw! Your spirit is amazing and from what I’ve read, people who (like you) don’t give up will always be more likely to improve than people who do, especially in brain injury patients! Check out Norman Doidge’s work for more encouragement😊Proud of you❤️
I have hyperfixated on juggling numerous times and have never been able to do it. I own actual juggling balls (they’re really nice I like them). Maybe this time I’ll be able to!
What I also found was good for practicing was when you only through 2 balls hold a third one in your dominant hand so you can also practise catching the ball when there’s little space in your hand hope you know what I’m talking about.
That makes a lot of sense. I know I’d probably be prone to throw the first ball when I go to catch the second into my dominant hand, I’ve done it trying to grab things with a full hand before lol. I bet this would help a lot, and I’m thinking of trying this when I get bored, so thanks for the idea, I’m glad I saw this!
girl i have 40 minutes to wash my hair, get dressed, pack my lunch and take the subway to college. WHY AM I SEEING THIS NOW ALL I WANT TO DO IS LEARN TO JUGGLE GOD NOOOOO
As a juggler for 50 years, I give props for your explanation. Hint: practice while standing in front of a bed or sofa; it'll be less annoying to others and the balls won't roll away. And, trust me, the chicks really dig jugglers... yeh/no, really.
What really helped me was using one hand with 2 balls. If you can figure out how to catch one ball while at the same time tossing the other one up then it becomes very easy.
An additional tip would be practicing juggling two in one hand, both left and right. Getting used to that constant cycling will help with the rhythm and the nervous jitters. That will also help when you choose to add a fourth because if you can do two in each hand simultaneously, you only need to toss one over. ✌️
You just explained this better than my expensive college professor did. I have a degree in theater and we learned all sorts of random movement and clowning type things including juggling. I could never get the hang of it but I bet if you had taught my class, we all would have picked it up easily!
I was harvesting tomatoes, got sidetracked by the idea of juggling. Hyperfixating on it resulted in no tomato harvest ,but moderately awesome juggling skills. True story. I still can't harvest tomatoes without loosing focus in 30 minutes.
My ADHD ass I'm juggling I'm juggling My mom Walks into the room: Why is there a banana, an apple ,and a cucumber along with 2 Balls on the floor. Me : I started with 3 Balls
I had a math prof in college who told us the trick is that the balls have different hight levels. If the sum of the levels is divisible by the number of balls, then the pattern is jugglable
This gave me flashbacks to 9th grade Drama class where learned how to juggle with balled up socks. I failed at that but got extra credit for learning the harmonica instead.
i found it helpful to exercise in front of a wall bc when you throw the third ball it’ll bounce off and you can catch it instead of running around and bending
I learned juggling by throwing 2 balls back and forth in my hand until i could keep goong for a long time and then did it with it right hand. Then i got 3 balls and learned how to juggle very easily. After that i learned how to juggle clubs in just one day from 9am till 5pm. All i had to do was time my rotations of each spin to be 360° and forget about the tossing since i already knew how hard to toss from 3 balls.
funny story from way back when i worked front desk at a state office. we had someone bring rhubarb in. Towards the end of the day there was still rhubarb left. My work colleague and I had been learning to juggle. from balls... to starting to juggle clubs (pins). Well... we each took 3 rhubarb sticks and started juggling them. Then our director saw us juggling the sticks and called us into his office and we got a good talking to. I think back to things like this and other times I got in trouble at work for impulsive things and think... hmmm the signs were there all along. Thank you for sharing juggling!!!
I didn't know the dominant hand part mattered. I've just always known 2 in 1 goes first, opposing hand goes 2nd, catch 1st ball as 3rd ball goes up. Don't ask me how to cascade, or juggle more than 3. Thanks 5th grade English teacher, Mr. Young.
Man, I love how much ADHD things are on this channel, and then there is “learn how to juggle in under one minute!“ this perfectly depict ADHD I love it
Lady! While this is fascinating I CANNOT pick up a new hyperfixation right now….my credit card is still recovering from my last one 😆😐. Love your videos💜
A trick is to stand facing a wall so that if the ball goes forwards it won't fly away, though you will eventually have to get good at throwing the balls straight up and not forwards
Thank you for explaining this so well for my little neurodivergent lizard brain. My problem is, if I learned how to juggle I would become too powerful.
My school taught my fellow classmates how to juggle while I had to be on the side due to an injury. Maybe now I'll be able to learn a new and fun skill.
Also, resist the temptation to throw it towards or away from your body, it’s a common mistake. Always throw horizontal towards your hand in an arc, do it against a wall to get the idea down not to let the balls move forward or backwards.
Bonus tip: If you are struggling with the timing of the third ball, try adding a snap as the second ball reaches its apex, before you catch the second ball!!
I want to juggle so bad but I can’t catch without looking at my hand and not always even then, but I also have to look up to know when to throw. Unfortunately I cannot look multiple directions at once but I’m still gonna try this
There are many ways to learn juggling. For example, if it is difficult for you, you can try to master the style of cleimotion. This style is simple and suitable even for children. It is also easy to learn using handkerchiefs for juggling.🎉
is it just me or are you guys also searching every 5 min a ball you just threw. by the way i just lost one of them and cant find it anywhere been looking the past 15 min :D i really enjoy watching your videos

Tell us if you are
Oh so you're mid
Nobody cares if you like your b-ball’s
Do it!!! Upload videos
Update?
the hardest part isn’t juggling
it’s finding 3 same sized balls to practice with 😭🤣
Easy use lemons
I just randomly crocheted myself 2. Plan to make a 3rd one once I'm ready 😅
Dryer balls
I learned using socks (folded into balls)

This actually makes a lot of sense
I learnt within about 15 of watching this. I have autism so I still kinda relate to your videos
God the way you explain things actually makes sense to my ADHD brain please teach me more
Same
girl i have 40 minutes to wash my hair, get dressed, pack my lunch and take the subway to college. WHY AM I SEEING THIS NOW ALL I WANT TO DO IS LEARN TO JUGGLE GOD NOOOOO
why r u watching yt when u gotta go to college
frr they should add an update where u can save shorts it would be so helpful😭
@@urmom.com39hi you can save them if you look at them in your history
@brynleehavens😏
@@urmom.com39hiit’s clunky but you can go to your history, click on the 3 dots, and chose the option to save it to a playlist 💀

Yess Ty!! You are soo underrated 🥰
She's really good with balls :)
I feel so nice seeing this a year later, Knowing that she has grown in popularity
This is the best tutorial I've seen. It's so short!!!
Your nails are so pretty!!!
Thank you for all the videos you do❤❤❤
My 11 year old is really happy rn, an d we both thank u ♡
The way you explained things makes me want to keep watching. Teach us more random things!!! Pls❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was incredibly helpful, as soon as I saw it I started practicing and I can juggle decently now!
What really helped me was using one hand with 2 balls. If you can figure out how to catch one ball while at the same time tossing the other one up then it becomes very easy.
Started juggling right after this thank you! Wanted to be able to do it to show my 1 and 3 yr old. SUCCESS! 🎉 Thank you!
Bro you made this so much easier to understand!
Thanks for teaching us how to juggle Olivia!!
I have been able to juggle sense I was 8 (because of a school club) and I was actually taught like this! Very cool! Great job!
You got some gorgeous pianist hands woman, thanks for the tutorial
Wow you are both mentally AND physically stunning!
An additional tip would be practicing juggling two in one hand, both left and right. Getting used to that constant cycling will help with the rhythm and the nervous jitters. That will also help when you choose to add a fourth because if you can do two in each hand simultaneously, you only need to toss one over. ✌️
I can tell you hyperfixated on this concept for a long time like I did when I was like 6
I hope you had fun!
this is the only actually comprehensive tutorial on juggling i've ever come across. if i ever want to start, i'd use this as a guide. thanks so much!!
You can practice using handkerchiefs instead of balls. They fall slower and are easier to catch. Helps teach the motions.
Your dominant hand is your left??? ME TOO!!! Also I love watching your videos I have ADHD and I take Vyvanse to help control it.
You inspire me to take up juggling again 😂❤
So many people have tried to teach me how to juggle and not made any sense you are the first person who has made sense ps love the figet balls
That is so cool
Thank you!!!💕
(Also such a cool stim I'm gonna ve enjoying this so much heh)

My ADHD ass
I'm juggling I'm juggling
My mom Walks into the room: Why is there a banana, an apple ,and a cucumber along with 2 Balls on the floor.
Me : I started with 3 Balls
Omg your left handed that is so cool being different is so much fun 🤩 because you are unique and beautiful 😍
This explanation was really consice and to the point in comparison to any juggling tutorials..🙌
Learned to juggle just now in like 15 minutes. Thanks!
This is very well instructed, step by step 👍 makes me want to try juggling 😀
I had a math prof in college who told us the trick is that the balls have different hight levels. If the sum of the levels is divisible by the number of balls, then the pattern is jugglable
I liked and subscribed!! Love ur videos!!
You’re a great teacher!
That is EXACTLY how I used to teach it to new starters at Legoland Windsor 25 years ago! My (undiagnosed) ADHD came up with it too:-)
Great vid! actually helped me get it faster
Tysm this helped a lot
This gave me flashbacks to 9th grade Drama class where learned how to juggle with balled up socks. I failed at that but got extra credit for learning the harmonica instead.
That tip actually works!
YOUR SO GORGEOUSE AND CLEVER YOU MA,E EVERYTHING SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND ❤❤❤❤❤
I also learned to juggle just because I wanted to 😂 Now I taught my kids.
Her :- now you can officially grab your second ball
Me :- (who already was grabbing both the balls)
I luv adhd...your awesome
I put two in the non dominant hand. Been teaching myself for years. Just got back into it.
Girlie has no idea how much I needed this 👀👀💅
"You can officially grab your second ball."
say less.
Had me at "instead of letting the third ball drop" 🫠
i found it helpful to exercise in front of a wall bc when you throw the third ball it’ll bounce off and you can catch it instead of running around and bending
Keeping your arms and hands leveled takes much control
I learned juggling by throwing 2 balls back and forth in my hand until i could keep goong for a long time and then did it with it right hand. Then i got 3 balls and learned how to juggle very easily.

The adhd brain is something else😂😂

I honestly like the look on a person's face when they find out you know how to juggle.
My teenage brain was dying of laughter during this
This is my lifetime mystery since i was kid. Thankyou

I have that same squishy ball with the smaller more colorful balls inside, very cool
Thank you for successfuly teaching me to juggle😁👉👈
i’ve always wanted to juggle lmao! i’ll come back & update if i figured it out 🤣🤣
My ELA teacher literally just showed my class this yesterday. All the same steps and everything lol❤
ADHD and autistic, I used the book, juggling for dummies 30 years ago. I can still juggle 3 items successfully.
Lady! While this is fascinating I CANNOT pick up a new hyperfixation right now….my credit card is still recovering from my last one 😆😐. Love your videos💜
Yeah. Already overwhelmed.
A trick is to stand facing a wall so that if the ball goes forwards it won't fly away, though you will eventually have to get good at throwing the balls straight up and not forwards
I taught myself how to juggle a few years ago, and I feel vindicated because these are the exact steps I practiced for myself 😅
Thank you for explaining this so well for my little neurodivergent lizard brain. My problem is, if I learned how to juggle I would become too powerful.
My school taught my fellow classmates how to juggle while I had to be on the side due to an injury. Maybe now I'll be able to learn a new and fun skill.
its funny how we just evolved as a species for millions and millions of years and somehow along the way we started to juggle
Put a point on a wall and stare use periohrials. Makes for a better juggling look
Also, resist the temptation to throw it towards or away from your body, it’s a common mistake. Always throw horizontal towards your hand in an arc, do it against a wall to get the idea down not to let the balls move forward or backwards.
This video is very helpful and watching a smart beautiful person juggle is a bonus too
I used yo kbow how to juggle then i forgot and i have never juggled again but now i can
TYSM ❤
Are you left handed or is the camera reversed?
Bonus tip: If you are struggling with the timing of the third ball, try adding a snap as the second ball reaches its apex, before you catch the second ball!!
I want to juggle so bad but I can’t catch without looking at my hand and not always even then, but I also have to look up to know when to throw. Unfortunately I cannot look multiple directions at once but I’m still gonna try this
how i first started out lol, i’m now a speed juggler
Juggling is so mesmerizing
Heeck yeah! Im a big proponent of getting used to the timing of the throws and letting them hit the ground.
Other note. Our school taught juggling in P.E. I think it was 8th grade P.E. Started with juggling scarves and then juggling balls.
This is exactly how i was taught in my circus class ^^
POV: you have adhd and this is you’re new hyper fixation
Yes
after watching people juggle like 7 balls for an hour straight watching someone juggle 3 balls looks so easy
I love how you promised three steps and delivered five.
Cool . That well help with the Anxiety.. I try anything once.
There are many ways to learn juggling. For example, if it is difficult for you, you can try to master the style of cleimotion. This style is simple and suitable even for children. It is also easy to learn using handkerchiefs for juggling.🎉

i started learning 20 minutes ago amd i can throw three times but I CANT DO THE FOURTH FOR THE LIFE OF MEEEEE 😭😭
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Great! Now I’m running downstairs to go find something to learn to juggle with instead of doing my homework. Oops 😅
Omg unless the video is inverted or flipped I don't know which is the correct term, your lefthanded, so am I!😁
YOU’RE A PRO
It's 3am, and I'm trying to learn a random skill.
Why was I literally just thinking about learning to juggle at work today!
Thought myself to juggle. Do two balls in on hand once you get that down add the third ball
