I used to play a lot of tennis. I was never terribly good at it. For example, some serves are referred to as a "weapon." Mine was referred to as a "gift." But what I lacked in quality, I made up for in quantity. I played a lot of tennis. I suppose I got incrementally better over time, but I never improved substantially. Why? Because I wasn't intentional about improvement. You've probably heard the phrase practice makes perfect. This isn't quite accurate, as we'll see shortly-but let's use it as a starting point. Practice makes perfect. Notice how you never hear the phrase repetition makes perfect. Repetition does not make perfect! Repetition merely reinforces whatever it is that you're repeating. In my case, I was continuously repeating-and therefore reinforcing-crappy tennis habits.
