I will keep this one brief.
I was thinking back to my first day of ski season. It had been years since I had put on skis. After a couple of glides around the bunny hill, I thought that I had rediscovered some semblance of skiing form. Keeping in mind that I only skied about 4 times in my life before this.
That first run down, I started off feeling confident. As I started my first turn, my left foot entirely failed me. I started to snowplow and I had no strength to coordinate my legs. For the remainder of the day, I wondered what on earth could be the matter that I could not move my left foot and leg with the same skill and precision of my right leg.
In a way, I was taken back to being a young opera singer. There were so many things wrong that I had to manage and figure out. I'm a notoriously slow learner about some things and it took awhile for me to get some equilibrium about performing and learn the skills so that they were reflexive.
So my advice as a skier to an opera singer? Keep track of all the left feet you have. Deal with them. It will make the subsequent trips down much more fun. And then don't forget to repeat again and again... that will help to fix it.
