Those are great examples. I like the idea of not being able to miss! That's the power of practice. Just imagine being so well rehearsed in selling that you couldn't not make the sale. Now that would be cool! We may not all be able to achieve that but think about how good we could be if that goal was what we were pursuing! Gavin Thanks Greg.

The more you practice the better. The idea is when you are under pressure or tired you want to be able to do things automatically. There is an old story about Larry Bird a famous basketballer. He was filming a commercial and had to miss a shot from the free throw line, then take some vitamin and make the shot. He couldn't miss ! Apparently he had to try 10 times before he could miss the shot ! He reportedly threw 1000 free throw shots a day for practice! What about boxers. They are trained to bob and weave so when they get hit hard and are semi-conscious they just bob and weave automatically. I have no doubts, "when the going gets tough, you get what you practice". Regards Greg Hi Gavin,

Without practice this is almost a dead cert... you're moving backwards. Whilst stressing the importance of tenacity and resilience when practising it is important to recognise when you're drilling poor performance, to take a break and to raise your standards or to do something else instead.

If you’re not moving forwards, you’re more than likely sliding backwards. Without practice this is almost a dead cert… you’re moving backwards.

Whilst stressing the importance of tenacity and resilience when practising it is important to recognise when you’re drilling poor performance, to take a break and to raise your standards or to do something else instead.

Carrying on with your analogy, what point Tiger smashing the balls the wrong way 100 times?

None.

Have a great week.

Gavin

But I also put the emphasis on "perfect practice" makes perfect too. Practicing old, outdated methods is pointless after all! Also, it amazes why sales people do not like role play. "It's fake" "It's not real" they say. What a load of bull! That's just an excuse! It's as real as you want to make it. We are both regarded as two of the best sales gurus in the UK and, speaking for myself here, I practice more than anyone I know and I'm regarded as one of the best around. Tiger Woods practices more now than he did when he first started out!
