With the Single Plane University on the horizon, there is a specific topic you're going to hear us be talking about a lot, that being the difference between practice and training. I'm very fortunate to have gotten to enjoy all sorts of different competitive and athletic ventures, baseball of course being the primary one I mention from time to time, so I'd like to weigh in a little bit to preface this Quick Tip. On the surface, practice and training seem like one and the same, but there is one key difference I'd like to mention- goals. To practice something is to work in effort to improve at a broader thing, and to hone general skills within said thing. This is very important, just like training is. When goals, statistics, and outcomes begin to factor into your practice, that's when it becomes training. Training is what it takes to not just be good in casual play, but to be good in competitive play. Join us as Tim Graves, PGA, gives a brief rundown on practice versus training.
