Technical proficiency requires little physical effort because the performances are always controlled, balanced. Less technically perfected efforts require as much physical and emotional strength as necessary to continually snatch oneself back from disaster time after time.

Once you perform a skill to your own satisfaction you tend to stop looking for improvement.
