Consistency > Intensity
Journal Activity - December 21, 2025

I came across this the other day and thought it was a great image of what often separates GREAT athletes from GOOD athletes. GREAT athletes seem to demonstrate GREAT consistency.
YOU THROW A BUCKET OF WATER ON A ROCK AND IT DOESN’T DO ANYTHING. YOU LET A DROP OF WATER FALL ON TO A ROCK EVERY DAY AND IT CREATES A HOLE. CONSISTENCY BEATS INTENSITY.
JOURNAL ACTIVITY
Do you treat your growth as a person and player like a BUCKET OF WATER or a DROP OF WATER?
Identify an area that you would like to improve your consistency in? How will you do that?
