"A Routine Enhances Feelings Of Control And Confidence"
By Sean McCann, PhD, Sport Psychologist

Going through the same routine in practice and competition is a useful reminder that you have done this a thousand times. The old expression of "practice like it is a competition, compete like it is a practice" describes an athlete with an effective, consistent routine. I have heard from countless athletes that simple routines enhance a sense of control and confidence. The Tiger Woods quote at the top of this column says it plainly. A routine helps an athlete feel in control, no matter what the stakes of success or failure.
