A habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly—and, in many cases, automatically.As each semester passed, I accumulated small but consistent habits that ultimately led to results that were unimaginable to me when I started.For example, for the first time in my life, I made it a habit to lift weights multiple times per week, and in the years that followed, my six-foot-four-inch frame bulked up from a featherweight 170 to a lean 200 pounds.
When my sophomore season arrived, I earned a starting role on the pitching staff.By my junior year, I was voted team captain and at the end of the season, I was selected for the all-conference team.But it was not until my senior season that my sleep habits, study habits, and strength-training habits really began to pay off.
