Who We Are

Fixed vs. Growth
Intelligence and talent are not completely fixed (i.e. we either have them or we don’t), but abilities are largely shaped by the effort we choose to put in.
Practice Specifically and Deliberately
We have all heard it said, “practice makes perfect” but the Yoyotricks.com team understands this can be misunderstood and oversimplified. It can leave us with no idea how to master what we are attempting and offers us no understanding of our limitations and weaknesses. The YoYoTricks.com team wants to teach students that true practice is not just simple repetition for some magic number of hours. True practice begins with an understanding of what is being attempted, a specific goal in mind and focuses on precise areas. This allows us to understand and correct errors. This process of identifying and correcting mistakes allows us to study more effectively and succeed at what we set out to accomplish.
Fear Not, Fail A Lot
After learning just a few basic yoyo tricks, it’s clear to see that we’re not very good at anything on the first try. Why should we be if we’ve never tried it before? YoYoTricks.com wants to teach students that failure is not something to fear but to embrace by learning from mistakes. If we’re paralyzed by fear of failing, we cannot try and if we cannot try, we cannot reach our full potential.
Lots of Effort
Learning is hard. If we are willing to put real effort into what we do, we can accomplish what we set out to. It will not be easy, but worth it.
