I am more like @COWCHICK77 in that when I am teaching it, I don’t keep it a center thing. I will do transitions throughout a circle in whatever size. So, I may be running a big fast type circle, and then ask for a slow 1/4 of it, no change in size. I get the “slow” part good first, and then the transition itself good. It seems hard to hold a really good slow for a full circle at first anyways, so that’s why I practice it in small bits.
My circle may be warm up speed with 1/4 fast and then a 1/4 warm up and 1/4 slow, and keep doing that. Eventually your slow is really good, and your transition is really good up or down, so you put it into the pattern. Since they are used to you transitioning within the same circle or straight, I personally have never had them duck.
I practice transitions all the time! I might be just going down the road and practicing them. They are so good!
