Good results do not happen overnight. It takes not only a decent amount of time, but a lot of effort, too. Putting in the time for your sport is essential for achieving your goals.
Time
When you practice over-and-over again, your brain develops good habits for your skills and fmuscle memory. If you were to go on vacation, and not practice your sport for a while, your skills would hopefully remain at the respectable skill level you left with. In other terms of time, you might have to risk skipping other events to play sports games or matches.
Effort
You also can not expect to succeed if you do not try or put any effort into it. Playing a sport can take up a lot of energy. You always need to be at the top of your game, trying your best. Players should remember that they are playing with a team, but always competing against themselves. It does not matter if you win or lose, but you should focus on your self-improvement.
Results
Eventually, after putting in a lot of time and effort, you will begin to gain successful results that help you meet your goals. But remember, to sustain these results, players must continue to put time and effort into it. The amount of effort needed over time will gradually become less as you gain more skills and reach greater heights in your sport of choice.
Time + Effort = Results!
