There are several things as an athlete that are completely out of your control. You can’t control whether it’s going to rain outside like it did Thursday for practice when the team had to move to the turf field. You can’t control what the opposition chooses to do across from you on a play-to-play basis. You also can’t control whether the coaching staff decides to give you all the reps in team session or if you end up seeing only a couple of reps on the entire day.
However, there is always one aspect that every athlete can control: their effort.
