This may have been mentioned previously - if so, I overlooked it.

When learning to juggle, it helps to verbalize your pattern and will get you into rhythm.

2 balls in your dominant, 1 in your off-hand.

Toss the first ball and when it reaches its pinnacle, say "one" out loud and toss your second ball (don't forget to catch the first one), when the second ball reaches its pinnacle, say "two." Toss the third ball when you say "two" (again, catch) - when it reaches its pinnacle - you got it - say "three," and toss the first ball again.

The verbal component helps you get into a pattern, and also alolows you to track progress as you count your throws

"one, two, three, four, ...."
