Effective Practice

​So I put up a Kobe Bryant quote the other day that spoke about how the amount of hours you practice doesn’t matter as much as being present in practice. Which is true if you are actually going to practice. Kobe Bryant was notoriously the first person in the gym and the last person to leave. He spent more hours practicing than almost anyone. That tends to be true of most elite athletes. Even when they’re not getting ready for anything a lot of Jiu Jitsu athletes spend 4 hours a day training. So yes being present in practice matters if you actually go to practice, but the first step is going to practice. One hour a week is not going to make you Kobe Bryant or Mikey Musumeci no matter how in tune you are. Go to training and when you’re there, actually be at training.
