What does the coach mean when he/she says that you control 80% of your own training?
At this stage it is important for the athlete to take full responsibility for your sport. Your coach is just reinforcing this concept. Having a good attitude, developing proper time management, and demonstrating a strong work ethic are important both in and out of the practice and competition. What coach is referring to is what we call “hidden training factors.” You are in control of what you eat, how much sleep you get, your practice attendance, and even your effort on practice sets.
