What makes practicing predictability so important? While this is an extremely dense concept with a multitude of science and data behind it. In this article we will look to address key attributes to the concept of predictability as it pertains to our ability to repeat productive practice principles.
Read MoreThe overarching concern for athletes looking to maximize success on the baseball field is typically centered around one thing in particular, "practice habits". What we first must come to realize is that perfect practice in the game of baseball does not equate to perfect results in game. This seems extremely counter intuitive in a sense that there is high demand for athletes to practice and pattern regularly.
