To truly own your fundamentals, integrate these daily habits into your training routine:

1. Consistent Review: Start each day with a quick review of your core skills. Spend at least 15 minutes practicing these skills, regardless of your overall workout intensity for the day. Owning your fundamentals is simple to do, but easier not to do. That’s why knocking these out of the park every single day will help set you apart.

2. Set Mini-Goals: Break down your training and performance goals into daily actionable steps. This makes improvement manageable and measurable.

3. Mindful Meditation: Dedicate at least 10 minutes to mindfulness or meditation to improve focus and reduce stress levels. This practice helps refine mental clarity, enabling better execution of physical skills.

4. Reflective Journaling: End each day with a brief journal session. Note what went well, what didn’t, and how you can improve. This not only keeps a record of your progress but also ingrains the lessons learned each day.

5. Nutrition and Recovery: Make hydration, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep non-negotiable parts of your daily routine to support physical recovery and mental alertness.
