“I don’t need any more practice..

I’ll do better in the game.”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this mistake.

There is no excuse to not performing your best in practice. If you haven’t done consistently well in practice, the chances aren’t high that you will do better in the game.

You plan to win, practice to win, prepare to win, expect to win, and only then win.

And, let’s not forget, if you don’t do well in practice, it’s not very likely you’ll get a game in the first place.
