Bring your A Game
What's the purpose of practicing critical instructional and assessment routines? Dr. Jim Taylor's article sums it up:
"...Whatever you do in competitions, you must first do in training. This too seems obvious, yet is often neglected ... If you want to perform technically and tactically well in competitions, you better get that technique and those tactics down in training first. The same holds true for every other aspect of your competitive preparations, whether physical or mental readiness."

Reflection Questions in Relation to our work
