Rehearse the basic skill, wait for at least six hours to consolidate, modify your practice slightly, and repeat. When we practice, we can set up narrow/artificial scenarios and end up being restrictive; instead, for indirect benefits, be flexible and cross train.• Don’t forget to rest. Performance improves primarily during rest periods, with the brain consolidating memories. Gains made during shorter “waking” rest periods between practice sessions are greater than the gains made between daily sessions, i.e., after a night’s sleep.
