more difficult \u2014 to shoot in the rain, to shoot in the wind, to shoot in the heat \u2014 I would do because, I don\u2019t know, maybe I just enjoy torturing myself. But I found it to be really important. And once I got to the training center, listening to some of the other successful athletes giving talks at the training center about their success and how things went and what made them successful, a lot of them were leaning into the same kind of thing \u2014 training hard to make competition easy.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Jake Kaminski<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPractice scores don\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Jake Kaminski<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cUltimately, nobody\u2019s going to prevent you from succeeding or failing except for yourself. So you\u2019ve just got to get out of your own way and let it happen. You\u2019ve already put in the time, you put in the effort, just go have fun, just shoot some arrows, and maintain composure.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Jake Kaminski<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf I were to wave a magic wand, and try to make things better the next time, it would be doing archery more often. It\u2019s not about how many arrows you do in one session. It\u2019s how many sessions in a week can you do, and how many days in between each session are there? Anything more than one is too many, in my opinion.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Jake Kaminski<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou look experienced from experience. You don\u2019t just get it. You\u2019ve got to make that groove in the brain, and really make that neuromotor connection strong enough to where it just fluidly happens. That\u2019s why an expert is an expert. They\u2019ve done the same thing thousands and thousands and thousands of times. I\u2019m well over a million shots the same way. Same technique, same thought process, same thought at full draw. So it\u2019s an immense amount of effort and work over time. Sustained effort is what really makes you good.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Jake Kaminski<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/tim.blog\/podcast\"><strong>The Tim Ferriss Show<\/strong><\/a> <\/em><span>is one <\/span>of the most popular podcasts in the world with more than one billion downloads.
