How To Make Practice into a Daily Routine
/How many goals have you made in which you didn't take action on? How many of those goals without action have you accomplished? None, obviously! Jim Rohn, legendary author and motivational speaker said "Goals without action are nothing." You need to form habits to help you take action.
Habits free up the mind for important things. I believe in pitching a little bit every day. If you are able to remove the daily struggle in your head that debates anywhere from 5 minutes to 12 hours that sounds something like this...
"should I go pitch today?"
"I don't want to."
"Yes I should do it."
"It's too hot."
"My coach would be mad if I didn't."
...you'd free up mental energy to actually work on your pitching,
This doesn't mean pitch for an hour every day, but it means that during off days you might visualize, fake-pitch without a ball, or even lift weights. Practice at the same time every day. Make it as routine as brushing your teeth or doing your homework and you will be hitting those spots in no time!
