The next theory of individual practice is learning the practices skill perfectly. Now, anybody can go out and shoot a basketball and shoot it incorrectly or swing a bat and swing it incorrectly. You can go do that for an hour or two hours or three hours a day, but all it will do is reinforce bad habits. We are consistent in how you practice, and then you will become consistent in how well you practice.
We want to enforce, develop and reinforce perfect habits which will intern develop perfect skills. There are two stages of perfect practice development. Stage one is the learning stage. In a learning stage, you want to focus on the physical mechanics of the skill that you are trying to perform. In order to master that skill, initiate or begin your practices when you learn a new skill at half speed. Work at half speed for a day, two days, perhaps evens a week until your physical mechanics are perfect.
The next theory of perfect practice is what we call game speed. Now, we want you as if you perfected your physical and skill mechanics at half speed. Now we want you to go to game speed. Game speed, you need to perform in short intense time frames or repetitions. It will do little or no good to work on a skill for a long period of time when you fatigue completely and then you are performing a practice habit at three quarter half speed, due the fatigue.
Every competition, game or events at its greatest levels are competed at full speed and full intensity. And, usually there is siding factors or place, take place in a series of short intense quick burst. Since your practice habits will carry over in the game situations. It is critical that you learn to practice with perfect mechanics and fundamentals at full speed or game speed. Because how you practice and how you perform in practice is how you will perform in a game situation.
Remember this simple rule, practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.
