Default My understanging of power and speed shifting

The way i understand power shifting and speed shifting is this.

Speedshifting is when you fully depress the clutch and back off the throttle but still hit the next gear as fast as possible. This is what i do because it won't hurt my t-5 that much.

Powershifting is depressing the clutch very slightly or not at all to get it into and out of gear, and holding the gas to the floor while doing so. This will eventually break something in the tranny though.

This is my understanding of it and someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
