For best athletic results, be consistent.
You've heard it before, "Consistency is key.
" Consistency applies to many different parts of life.
For example, everyone talks about consistency with raising children or with training pets.
When parents are inconsistent with rules or discipline their children are inconsistent with behavior.
Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't.
When training your pet the same thing applies.
If you are inconsistent with your training, sometimes your pet will do what you want sometimes they don't.
As you may or may not know, the same applies for potty training (kids or animals).
Consistent training is what yields the most consistent results.
Guess what? You can apply this principle to sports too.
Many coaches talk about being consistent.
They often consider the best players to be the most consistent ones.
Coaches would rather have a player that is consistently good rather than sporadically great.
They would rather have a player that consistently makes all those routine plays no matter what the situation vs a player that makes spectacular plays every now and then, but also misses routine plays as often as they make great ones.
So how do you become more consistent in your performance? Just do what potty trainers, parents, and pet trainers do.
Be consistent in your training.
For more consistent results in your athletic performance, be more consistent in how you train.
You may not think you're being inconsistent.
Maybe you think you do train the same way every day.
You go to practice, you do your warm-ups, and you do your drills and exercises, but is HOW you are doing those things consistent? Is how you practice, is how you train consistent? Here are examples of inconsistency: Sometimes you're are on time, sometimes you're not.
Sometimes you cheer and encourage your teammates, sometimes you don't Sometimes you sprint or run all out, sometimes you dog it or slack Sometimes you hustle (between/during drills/stations), sometimes you drag Sometimes you look at your goals before practice/game, sometimes you don't Sometimes you have goals or some kind of "mission" going into a practice or game, sometimes you're just along for the ride You get the idea.
So if you're looking for more consistency in your performance on game day, be more consistent in how you train.
But also remember that if you consistently train poorly and never give your full effort, you'll consistently perform at a level below your very best and will never reach your full potential.
If you want to be able to go above and beyond in games, consistently go above and beyond with your effort in practice.
Always hustle, always support your teammates, always keep your head up (no slumping shoulders or hanging faces), and always give your best effort and your best attitude.
Some days will be better than others, but it should always be nothing less than your best, day in and day out.
Consistently be the best you can be and you'll achieve more consistency in your athletic performance.
