Objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. -Sir Issac Newton-
Time is something that cannot be replaced. Time away from training is time that can never be had again. All too often I see combat athletes make the decision to train hard a few weeks out from a competition. It seems good that they are putting in the "extra" effort to perform well at the upcoming event. However, the truth of the matter is that elite athletes are always putting in the "extra" effort and are always prepared. This type of work ethic and self discipline is what separates champions from contenders.
Imagine if you trained every day as if you had a competition the following weekend. Imagine if you trained every day as if you had a rank exam the following week. Why does your training time matter more in those situations? It shouldn't. You should constantly seek to improve whether you are competing or not. All of us get lazy from time to time. We get tired. We get distracted by other things going on in our lives. Just remember, the time away from training is time we can never get back and imagine where you will be if you remain consistent with your training.
In the founding days of martial arts, they trained as if their lives depended on it. We are training in combative arts. Nowadays, we too should still train as if our lives depended on it.
Train smart
