Being an excellent athlete is not something that just happens. There has to be something that goes into making someone exceptionally good at something. Yes, there’s some natural skill involved but being the best in anything takes lots of work and, most importantly, the right habits. Habits are key, and it’s even more interesting when you realize that the more successful athletes have a few key habits in common.
