A few little things quickly turn into a big thing. Sometimes in training it is easy to take short cuts and overlook the little things because of the focus on bigger global issues. By little things, I mean precision and exactness in execution of movements, simple things like planning transition between drills or practice segments, and carefully monitoring the training process. Little things do not mean minutiae. The little things are those things that are done each day, those things that can quickly become mundane. It is all the remedial work, the proper warm-up and cooldown, correct equipment and shoes appropriate for the training session- In short all those things that don’t catch you attention until they are not done.
