The 'good habits' that you become skilled at and reinforce consistently
through yoga, strength training, pilates, cardiovascular work... creates
a mindset. This mindset becomes the way that you approach everything in
life. The mindset of "The Athlete's Way" is transferable to any task or
challenge that you need to accomplish on and off the court.
One of the biggest drawbacks of being bored and careless is that your
quality standard plummets. Once you become jaded, you no longer attack
problems and challenges with enthusiasm and inquisitiveness. It's easy
to get sucked into the ho-hum mindset of mediocrity. Having a blase
'been-there-done-that" attitude or cynical 'is-that-all-there-is?'
response is the quickest way to find yourself trapped, discontent and at
the back of the pack.
Exercise is a way to turn this around--but it's easy to become bored and
sloppy within your workouts, too. Remember to continually mix-it-up
inside your workouts and to try different things at the gym. If you
exercise outdoors, remember to stay adventurous and exploring new places
and pursuing unfamiliar activities.
