The benefits of athleticism revealed

posted on July 24, 2019

An athlete is anyone who participates in sports. There are benefits to being athletic:

What is athleticism?
Being athletic is the execution of a task even when you lack the fundamentals. They are often kinesthetic learners.

Why should you be/become athletic?
Because coaches are not able to teach everything at practice in preparation for games.

How do you become athletic?
You become athletic by trying new things that are tough. Athleticism is a learned skill that allows you to repeat actions without thought while under stress. It is a weapon against worry and stress.

There are seven parts of the swing:

  1. Stance/Load
  2. Timing
  3. Tempo
  4. Tracking
  5. Approach
  6. Contact
  7. Extension/Finish

It takes 3,000 reps to build a habit. That’s 21,000 reps.

As you start your fall season in August, what part of your swing do you need to commit to trying something new so that you can be an improved you?

Remember: Intelligence tops being smart.
