Content

I really appreciate this long and helpful response! I have heard references to content in the DIVA model but had never heard of this model directly. Thanks for sharing it, I will have to look more into it! Actually, before ever stuttering I struggled in sports with having a heavy focus on feedback during my physical motions to execute actions, such as throwing or kicking. I’ve known this is an issue and I inhibit myself from acting out what I already know how to do. I’ve just always had an issue going from “practice mode” to “game mode”, as to me, consciously focusing on technique is something that seems to be a constant. How do we change this, either in sports or in speaking?
