Anyone have tips/tricks for studying Module one for DS school?

Hey SFC (Join to see) as a DSL, I have to study these all the time. One of the things you will hear about is the dreaded “cross-modulating.” But don’t fret- this depends on your understanding of movements/positions, and your ability to “catch the train” as I call it. As in, most modules (save set 6) have a flow. Start with the standard line... “the next...” and go from there. But here are a few rules of thumb I employ to get these things down. Hope they help.

Rule 1: one module at a time
Rule 2: preamble for all modules are basically the same
Rule 3: one line/ paragraph at a time. Repeat it until you get it verbatim and identify problem areas.
Rule 4: understand what each section (line/paragraph) is explaining and try to visualize it with and without a demo.
Rule 5: set mental/ physical cues for actions/ trouble areas
Rule 6: study effectively; no more than 30-45 per go
Rule 7: relax... when you get here, you’ll see that the track is a common study area. There’s a reason. I don’t know the science behind it, but when I need to learn a new module, I take a walk. Usually, one or two good walks will get me “on paper”. Getting grouped and zeroed is too easy at that point.

Good luck!

Make voice recordings of the modules on your phone and listen to them while you pitch it. If you’re driving to Jackson play it in your car and pitch at the same time.

Practice pitching the modules into an audio recorder. Play it back following along as you read the module, if what you hear is different from what you are reading, STOP. Start over, keep doing till you get it perfect!
