Q: What do you have to do to become the best?

A: Successful athletes do things differently from those players who stagnate or never really get any better. They have different practice habits. Elite performers engage in "deliberate practice." They focus their efforts on improving an individual target area rather than just practicing for the sake of practicing without any real goal in mind.

Anybody can go to the gym and just shoot around. But the athlete that spends that same amount of time focusing their attention on improving a specific area of their game will be the athlete that succeeds.

To be successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, then resolve to pay the price to get it. No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
