I believe the answer is: She is focusing on performance

The most common mistakes that beginners make when learning new things is that they're expecting to be able to do what the professionals able to do right from the start.

So, rather than focusing on steps that improve their basic, they tend to focus on advance skills in order to look good during performance. This will directly set them up to failure because they imposed unrealistic expectation for themselves.
