INVEST YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS

There comes a time in every athletes career where they have to make a decision. If they truly want to improve… they have to decide whether they are willing to pay the price for that improvement. And I know that’s a phrase that gets thrown around a lot in sports, “paying the price” but it’s true none-the-less. You will never get better if you are only 50% committed to getting better. Talking about it will never make you better.

Once an athlete accepts the fact that they actually CAN improve their game through some work & effort, and once the athlete decides to embrace that process… the sky is the limit to what they can accomplish.

There’s no other way around it. There is no magic pill to make you better. There is no DVD that will make you better. There is no coach that can make you better. Only YOU can make you better through the decision to sacrifice some fun time (TV, computer, etc.) to invest meaningful time into improving your game. Like a savings account, it won’t grow without putting something into it. Your game won’t progress very much without investing some meaningful time into it. And I don’t mean by just spending time at the gym shooting around. That doesn’t help your game. You have to practice with a sense of purpose. You have to be honest with yourself and identify the weak areas of your game that need improvement and specifically target those areas with the goal of improving them.

Remember, being average means you are just as close to the bottom as you are to the top. Separate yourself from average.
