Hey Reader,

There are a variety of things that determine whether or not someone is successful with improving their athleticism, but in my opinion, there is one thing that is the most important.

You see, most people I run into think these are the reasons why they aren't getting stronger and more athletic:

• They aren't doing enough jumps
• They haven't found the "secret" exercise
• Their genetics suck
• ....and a variety of other reasons.....

Here's the truth: there is no secret exercise! Or secret amount of jumps! And your genetics are probably not the issue!

In reality, the main thing people are missing is consistency.

Let me explain:

The Guitar Hypothetical

Hypothetically, let’s say you wanted to get really good at playing the guitar, and let’s assume that with 100 hours of practice, you will get really good.

Now let's have Guitarist A. She will put in 1 hour a day, 3 days a week, and it will take her 8.5 months to achieve this 100 hour goal.

However let’s say we also have Guitarist B, and he does 12 hours of practice once a month. In theory, it will still take him 8.5 months to reach 100 hours.

But in the end, who do you think will be better at playing the guitar?

Of course, its going to be Guitarist A.

The Importance of Repeated Exposure

As you can see, it's not just about much you do, but its how often you expose yourself to the task.

This is also very true in training. Its not about training a whole bunch at once, but rather training in moderate doses, consistently, week over week for months and years on end.

I promise, if you continue to train hard multiple days a week for a long time, you will make much more progress that you initially anticipated.

Appreciate you taking the time to read this, Reader. If you got any further questions, feel free to reply and let me know!
