Mental motivation

[Nidan Melbourne]

 

So this is my Template I use to help plan out my training, then just print it off for me to go. 

I have a secondary sheet on the same document; which helps me keep track of how often I do each of the exercises/skills. 

Now on both Sheets I have 

- Exercise 

Now this is the most obvious thing for the Warm Up and Main Training. You just have to identify what your doing 

- Sets

How many Groups of Repetitions you have to do. 

- Reps

How many times you do it

- Load 

This might sound strange, but if I am adding any form of weight for a Set I add it here. If unloaded; I either leave it blank or write 0. 

- Skill Type

Whatever form of training area that item is. Kihon, Kata, Pre-Arranged Sparring, Breakfalls etc. 

 

I'm looking at making another sheet that gives me a tally of how many of everything that I have done. So at the end of a training phase, or when I review my training I can clearly see how often I do everything.

That's a common trap. Don't focus on doing it perfectly. Focus on doing it better than you did it yesterday. Progress over perfection.

yes I like that. very helpful. on being better than yesterday !!

That's so good!

Another adage I've heard is, "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."

If it were easy, everyone would do it!
