Problem: Article: Countering is when a player sneaks in from the corner of the court and very quickly moves toward the neutral zone to attack an opposing player. It’s a risky move, and it can only be performed by a single (and brave) countering player. If you’re countering, be speedy and go for the element of surprise.  Reserve countering for when you’ve only got a single ball on your side.  Countering is a good move to break out after there’s been an elimination. Players might be distracted, and this is the time to strike! Because counters are all about speed, they’re hard to dodge. You may not be able to jump fast or high enough straight up into the air to get away from this ball. Do a back dive or side-jump to avoid these tough throws. Be extremely careful when you do a back dive. These dangerous moves could injure you, especially if you hit your head on the ground. Try and absorb the fall on the fleshy part of your bottom, and keep your head and neck up off the floor. This tricky move is called the “butterfly and the bee.” Throw one ball up in the air to confuse your opponents. While their attention is on that ball, throw a second ball straight at them. Dodgeball can be a fun and even quirky game. If you’re in a league that allows cartwheels and coordinated jumps, do them! You’ll have fun with these slightly weird strategies, and they’ll confuse your opponents.  Time a group jump or a cartwheel by using a codeword. Make sure that these moves don’t get you eliminated. Only do them if you’re sure you can dodge balls while you’re distracting the other team with your unexpected skills. This is called a drop-catch. Hold the ball you’ve got in front of you, inviting the other team to target you. Drop the ball, and catch a ball that’s been thrown at you. Only do this if it looks like you’ll be able to catch one of the incoming balls. Otherwise, continue dodging the balls, or keep hold of the ball you’ve got to block them.
Summary: Have a corner player ready to counter opponents. Dive or side-jump to dodge countering. Eliminate your opponent by distracting them with two balls. Add distractions to your game plan. Trick your opponents into throwing you a ball you can catch.

Problem: Article: Know that focused practice will not always be fun. Realizing the development of your talents, however, will be. Take note of and appreciate your achievements – such as a new personal record mile time or a particularly compelling painting. If there are tangible indications of your progress (perhaps especially paintings), place them in locations you will frequently see them in order to motivate yourself to continue practicing and improving upon your talents! Keep your mind and body ready to practice with focus and energy. More to the point, rest strategically. If the talent you’re trying to improve requires intense physical activity or mental focus, you’re going to have to keep your mind and body conditioned enough to practice effectively. This may actually require that you do take off one day a week.  This is important to do if it improves your ability to practice effectively for the rest of the week. Even the abilities some people seem to be born with come more from training than from inborn talent. This is true for athletes, musicians, and mathematicians!  Know you’ll need some grit.  Psychologists have come to use the term “grit” when referring to an attribute held by successful people.  Grit indicates both perseverance and passion in pursuing long-term goals.  Overcoming adversity in pursuit of developing your skills also positively contributes to improve your talents more generally.  When facing challenges that others might not have to deal with, tell yourself that by overcoming them, you’ll have a step up on everyone else. Even scientists aren’t sure about how to increase talent. The question of how we become good at things is still largely unanswered.  We do know that people who are exposed to things that they become drawn to naturally and who then become immersed in those things end up being good at them.  With training and practice, people who are already into something become especially good at it.  Accept the significance of these findings and act accordingly:  Observe and play without inhibition.  Inspiration and curiosity will inevitably hit you and you’ll end up pursuing talents you’ll be interested in enough to stick with. Ignore the technical aspects of the talent you’re hoping to acquire. You can bring in the technical aspects of perfecting your abilities once you’re committed. Don’t try to judge where your interests are coming from. Avoiding these tendencies will allow your more creative and emotional aspirations to get you hooked on something. Reading is a great place to start learning about how you can become more talented in multiple ways.  One of the main benefits here is perking your curiosity and motivating yourself to pursue new ways to expand your talents, or to pursue new talents altogether.  Becoming interested in something you’ve read is seen as an indication that you may take especially well to the material. If you become interested in something new, throw yourself at it. There are literal advantages to reading too: you learn about language and writing, about whatever era of history is relevant to the book, and, of course, about the content contained in the book.  You’re immediately more knowledgeable about all sorts of stuff, just by dragging your eyes back and forth across a page and interpreting a bunch of printed words! Of course, nothing compares to hands-on experience. Whatever you read about that appeals to you, practice doing it yourself and develop a new talent!
Summary: Monitor your progress. Rest. Accept that innate skill is less significant than practice and perseverance. Improve upon talents that interest you. Read.

Problem: Article: On a computer, "Wallet" is at the top of the screen. On the mobile phone app, "Wallet" is under the menu. Tap the button to navigate to the wallet. Your wallet is your list of debit cards, credit cards, and bank accounts associated with your PayPal account. You can link more than one. This button will bring up a page where you can choose what type of account you want to enter. Pick either "Link a Bank" or "Link a Debit Card," depending on your preferences. If you're not comfortable linking PayPal to your main checking account, you can set up a new, separate checking account with an online bank like Ally, Radius, Chime, or Aspiration. You will need the account information for whatever type of payment you decide to enter. PayPal needs this information to make payments for you.  For a bank account, you will need to choose checking or savings. Then enter both the routing number and the bank account number. For a debit card, you will need to enter the card number, the expiration date, and the security number. While debit cards are instantly confirmed, you will need to take a few extra steps to confirm a bank account. You can either confirm the account instantly by entering your bank ID and password, or you can do it manually by watching for small deposits PayPal will make into your account.  To do it instantly, enter your bank ID and password when prompted. PayPal doesn't store this information. To do it manually, watch for the deposits in your bank account over the next couple of days. They will be very small. Then, go back to the bank account screen on your PayPal account and enter the amount PayPal sent you in 2 separate deposits. Don't get too excited! These amounts are less than $1 USD, and PayPal withdraws them after a few days.
Summary:
Click on "Wallet" in your account. Select the "Link a Card or Bank" button. Follow the prompts to add the appropriate information. Confirm your account if you're using a bank account.
