Don’t mistake movement for achievement.

It’s easy to get faked out by looking busy at practice. Ask yourself this question: What is it that I’m busy doing?

It’s real easy to watch the clock countdown and just go through the motions until your coach blows the whistle. For example, if you are doing a drill designed to improve your defensive footwork, then go into the drill with the mindset of working to actually improve your defensive footwork.

Don’t mistake movement for achievement.

When the drill ends, walk away knowing that you made some type of improvement on your defensive footwork, not because you participated in the drill, but because you used the drill to improve and sharpen your skills.
