4 Tips for Perfect Practices

Basketball coach, Melissa Hearlilhy and the team at PrettyTough.com have put together a short video with 4 tips for perfect practices. While Melissa coaches basketball and some of the terms in the video pertain to basketball, her tips apply to all sports:

• Set personal goals for each practice – even if they are small
• Practice as if you are in a game/competition
• Listen to your coach – your coach is giving you corrections to help you improve, don’t take them as personal affronts rather note that your coach cares enough to take the time to help you get better
• Ask questions – If you don’t understand the purpose behind a particular drill or set of instructions, ask for clarification or additional help
