The 3 Causes of Error:
1. Reaction: we are taken by surprise by something, either in the music or some distraction outside of us. Solution: accept that anything can happen while you play, and get back into Eagle Vision
2. Anticipation: This has two forms: Daydreaming, and Worrying about a section coming up. Solution: Get in Eagle Vision
3. Looking Back: You feel the need to look back, or go back and redo something. A lot of times you are talking to yourself (this is the “Bad Coach”). Solution: tell the coach to “get out of the pool” and get yourself back into Eagle Vision.
