Let\u2019s keep this in mind when we\u2019re learning something new. One good day at the range doesn\u2019t mean you got it down. It needs to be done over and over and over before it\u2019s ready. <\/p>\n
Why? Because it has to be installed in your subconscious mind and well as in your hands. <\/p>\n
When we play we revert to what we believe in, what we know we can do, even if that isn\u2019t very good. It takes a lot of repetitions to come to believe in a new habit.<\/p>\n
