Learning it right the first time is slower. Unlearning it the wrong way is slower still.

A shortcut at the start hides its cost, because the bill arrives later as a habit that must be removed before the correct version can go in. Undoing something your hands already do automatically is genuinely harder than learning it from nothing. The early slowness gets paid either way. You only get to choose when.

When you begin something new, go at the pace where the form is actually right, even when that feels absurdly slow. Ask someone good at it to watch you early rather than after a season. Fixing it now costs an afternoon instead of a year.
