When I was 10 years old I learned to do back flips on the 4 inch wide/4 foot high balance beam apparatus by first practicing on firm ground, working at my own pace, gaining confidence and gradually working higher off the ground. Until one day I took a deep breath and asked myself the same question as you ask above. "What's the difference?"

My ultimate goal was confidence in my ability, to the best of my ability, to deliver a consistent and seemingly effortless performance on any balance beam, anywhere, with any crowd no matter the zillion other circumstances for which I could not account. I had to work my way there. I consider the answer to your question in the same manner.
