Practice Makes Perfect

Golfers understand that practice makes perfect and that is only telling half the story.
Practice makes perfect whatever you are practicing, good or bad.

Your mind has no way of knowing whether what you are doing is right or wrong unless you have the correct technical information and have some sort of feedback mechanism to show you what you are exactly doing. What you feel and what you do is VERY VERY different.

A lot of people get worse with more practice because they are practicing everything that is wrong! You can say that their mistakes are getting better with each practice session. Therefore a caveat should always be attached to 'practice makes perfect'.
