Hey hoopers,
Quote of the day: “We are what we repeatedly do.” – Aristotle
Quick question: Are your habits helping you… or hurting you?
Most players think performance is about talent or effort on game day. But what actually decides how you play is what you do every day, when no one’s watching.
Here’s the truth:
Your habits don’t lie.
Good habits create consistent performance. Bad habits create inconsistency. And the worst part is this — one bad habit can cancel out several good ones.
You can train hard, but if your shot prep is lazy, it shows.
You can lift consistently, but if you don’t recover, it shows.
You can practice often, but if you practice the wrong way, it shows.
Habits compound. For better or for worse.
Here’s what good habits actually do:
They make your performance predictable.
They build trust with coaches.
They allow you to play free instead of overthinking.
And here’s what bad habits do:
They create streaky games.
They break confidence.
They force you to rely on “feeling good” instead of being prepared.
Most players don’t lose opportunities because they aren’t talented. They lose them because their habits are sloppy.
So here’s the simple version:
Practice how you want to play.
Train with intention.
Do the small things the right way, every rep.
Because every bad habit you allow in practice shows up louder in games.
If you want help building habits that actually lead to consistent performance, that’s exactly what we focus on inside Phase 2. It’s where players clean up the details, raise their standards, and build habits that translate on game day.
Build it right,
Tyler
P.S. Consistency isn’t luck. It’s the result of habits done right, every day.
