Practice Makes Perfect!

Although this blog is primarily about the types of food that can help athletes perform at their peaks, eating is only half of the formula for a truly elite athlete. The other half of the formula is practicing well and often. What I mean by this is to not only attend practices frequently, but to give every practice your all, all the time. We've all heard the old adage, "practice makes perfect", and it is fairly self-explanatory; after all, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant didn't become world-class athletes overnight. Instead, behind all of the glamour and the fame, pro athletes train their butts off to get into tip top shape. This magical theory of frequent practicing applies to people of all ages and athletes of all sports. Not only does practice make you better at whatever sport you do, it also helps get you on your coaches' good sides. Continuously going to practice increases the possibility of becoming the best at whatever you want. No one has enough god-given talent to avoid practice and still succeed at a high level. No matter who you are or where you come from, practicing regularly and eating healthy are two major habits that can make a special athlete.
