Episode #35-What is a Routine? of my Train Your Mind for Athletic Success podcast is the first of two episodes that explore the essential role that routines play in ensuring total physical and mental readiness for practice and competitions.
Routines are one of the most important aspects of sports that you can develop to improve your conditioning, training, and competitive performances. Routines benefit all of your efforts in several ways.
- Routines ensure total preparation in your efforts.
- They enable you to be completely physically, technically, tactically, and mentally ready to perform your best.
- Routines ingrain effective skills and habits that make it easier to transition from training to competition.
- They train your mind and body to react the same way regardless of the importance of the competition.
- Routines create consistency, familiarity, predictability, and control.
I don’t know a world-class athlete in any sport who doesn’t use routines in some part of his or her training efforts and competitive preparations.
