Hey everyone, just posting here for a bit of advice really. Currently doing my AFF course but ive hit a bit of a brick wall.... level 3. Wondering if ive rushed things a little?
My level 1 went really well, secondary instructor released me for a while. Level 2 went even better, with sec instructor releasing for the whole of free time and flying round my front. Both levels my instructors said my body position was fine.
The next day, my back and my legs were shot to pieces, but with confidence sky high from the day before i thought id fly through my jumps no problem.
Level 3 i had my instructors changed. They advised me what to do if i started turning, but said i probably wont as my body position had been fine on previous jumps.... but it did! I cant stop turning to the bloody left! I dont know whether its coz i was in so much pain and i couldnt get my arch right, or because im just crap :P Anyway, a retake followed.... which i also failed with the same turning to the left problem. This time i had a weight belt on to help me arch (and coz im rather light and have a really slow fall rate). My instructors later told me i could be arching more, but i really felt like i was giving it all i could, and im now thinking that i maybe neglected focus on my legs and arms because of this, which may have added to my turning problems.
So, all in all, ill be going into my 3rd level 3 attempt. I havent done it today, coz i can hardly walk with the pain im in, but if i fail again im gonna have to stop the course as i cant afford it, which is the last thing i want to do after hyping myself up for a year and taking a week of work. So in the back of my mind, i have money troubles and on top of that my confidence has been shot to bits by my last 2 poor performances. Did anyone else experience similar problems on level 3? And if i cant do this within 3 attempts, what are the chances of me messing up on later levels?
Thanks for reading
