"Every day is showtime."
In school, at work, and in sports, people judge our performance daily. Pride in standards plays.
Key Point 1. Approach practice with specific goals. "I want to improve serve placement" or "I'm improving my serve-receive consistency."
How?
Key Point 2. Set your daily goal and track results. "Winners are trackers." If you take ten serves, commit to focus on placement on all ten. That takes mental strength.
In "Above the Line," Coach Urban Meyer opines that within large teams there are 10-80-10 percent distributions. Meyer required top 10 percenters to train with another, working to "pull" another ambitious player into that top 10 percent. Pull yourself and a teammate upward.
Key Point 3. Give yourself grace. Caveats are "cautions" for yourself or others. Progress doesn't occur evenly. Usually plateaus follow gains. Sometimes slight regression can occur.
Lagniappe. Immerse yourself in positive thinking. It's proven to work.
