    We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training

I think this holds true across the board. True top performers aren’t the best because they learned fancy moves or techniques-it’s because they have practiced the basics to such a high extent that performing them is completely natural. That base allows you to build and expand more into your natural repertoire. Trying to mentally overcome that ability in the moment instead of trusting that base and letting your honed instincts work usually leads to failure.
