Practice Perfect, Play Perfect
Whether you're an athlete trying to master your game or someone who wants to improve your skills on the court, perfect practice helps make the perfect play. Suppose you're going to practice. In that case, you want to make sure that it is time well spent, which means addressing your weaknesses and practicing until mastery to avoid bad habits from forming. The Science behind Perfect Practice When you're practicing, focus on perfecting your technique. Focus on how well you can make each motion rather than simply doing a series of motions repeatedly. That may mean practicing slowly at first; you aim to eventually make each motion with speed and accuracy. By performing these motions slowly at first, you'll be able to figure out which motions are causing you problems—because they are inaccurate or too fast for you to comfortably repeat them. Once that happens, work on those issues until you can practice them quickly and accurately before moving on.
