Preparation #3: Rehearse the Reps – Practicing the Fundamentals Until They Become Automatic

One of the greatest lessons I’ve carried through teaching, coaching, and training is simple: master the basics. Bruce Lee captured it perfectly when he said, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

Preparation is not about perfection—it’s about repetition. The fundamentals, practiced with intention, create confidence and consistency. When you rehearse the reps until they become second nature, you no longer have to think about the basics—you just do them. That’s when real progress begins.

Ask yourself: What do you want to become? What are the fundamentals in your field, your sport, your craft? And most importantly—did you practice them today? I am not a martial artist or a musician simply by title. I only become one through daily practice.

Who you are tomorrow depends on the reps you complete today. Success is built in the basics.
