How do these mega stars in sports get by, how do they stay so sharp, you might ask.
It was a classical musician that was told at an audition that she had a glimmer of talent, but what was needed was hours and hours of practice. She passed the audition, with the understanding that she would spend all day for days on end, day after day, stuck to that instrument, plugging away in the hopes of perfection.
Sounds dismal, yes? Almost like a prison sentence.
That's the devotion of someone who is active in their chosen field.
The WWE movie stars, The Rock and John Cena, put in the necessary work years prior, wrestling on stacks of hay for 25 dollars a night, and even now, spend early morning hours in the gym, keeping up their physical capabilities.
Steph Curry. Could you imagine such a talented basketball player at practice? Is he sitting there on his phone while the others on the team work on drills? Quite not. He's out there, dribbling, practicing passing, free throws and other sundry ordinary tasks.
They continually put in the practice.
It's Kenneth Copeland that has landed many an aviation-centered sermon, being a certified pilot himself, he brings some of that to his preaching. He reminds that pilots have a checklist to go through, checking the fuel and so forth, bringing the engine to so many RPMs, every time they start that plane up.
What happens if they don't go through that pre-flight checklist?
Could be a future disaster.
They practice and do drills on the "little things", continually, refining their craft, just like the crude oil brought from overseas is somewhat useless by itself, but is sent through a refinery before its put on the truck to go to your local gas station.
Incidental talent can be just seemingly a random anomaly without sharpening the skills at constant practice.
