That's it slave. You're doing so well. Let's just try one last facet of kicking - accuracy. It's very important to be able to kick not only far and high, but also to be able to ensure that the weight will go where you want it to go.
Find an object that stands up at least one foot into the air and has an easily definable target atop it. A pedestal fan or an upturned bin with an apple on top may serve for this task. Place the object a few feet away from the weight, in front of you.
Now kick the weight into the object and reset it 5 times. This time, the rope may go taut AFTER hitting the object - but only this object. The rope must still go taut before hitting the ground or any other object.
