After watching Greg Maddux for many years, you come to appreciate the consistency in performances, the consistency I his work between games, the consistency in his thought process, the consistency in the excellence of his innings, his games. It is amazing, just amazing to watch. It just never varies.
--Bobby Cox, Atlanta Braves Manager
Consistency is a habit formed by repeated acts. Consistent behavior will get you consistent performance. All of the teaching theories based on repetition indicate that the constancy, the reiteration, the over and overness of behavior allows it to become second nature.
No one was amazed by Greg Maddux’s consistency during his first stint with the Chicago Cubs. He was good, but he acquired the ability to be great. Through consistent approaches—mental and physical—to his craft. To competition.
Successful execution comes when technique becomes a habit. Habit is developed through the consistent repetition of thoughts and movements.
