What are three must have keys to success in sports? (1) Learning, (2) Repetition, and (3) Trust in your skills. What most athletes don’t get – and even coaches – is that motor learning does not happen overnight. A batting lesson, golf instruction, or coaching on technique must be coupled with practice and repetition, tons of it.
Learning, practice, and repetition alone sometimes fall short. The third and most important key to success (which is more about the mental game) is when you trust in your skills. You might have awesome form or technique, but you must have trust in what you have learned in practice. A lack of trust in your skills is the top reason you can’t repeat – in competition – what you do easily in practice every day.
