If you are a fan of The Sopranos, you know there’s no better judge of fitness than a mob family at a dinner table. Now, while Uncle Junior might not think we all have “the makings of a varsity athlete,” crafting the habits of one can completely change what you get out of each workout, practice, and big game. 

5. Consistency & Accountability

Building muscle, growing skills and developing virtually every aspect of your process as an athlete begins with consistency. As you develop consistency, your biggest x-factor is simply going to be you, and holding yourself accountable. Elevate yourself with commitment to goals that you take note of, admit when a forced error was your own rather than a teammates, and reflect on how your consistency has maintained/waivered over the course of your workout regimen or season. 

4. Time Management

Managing your time and being efficient with how you practice rather than how long you practice will be pivotal to development. Getting in the gym with a trainer or handful of teammates can be a great exercise to lockdown a more impactful workout for your body and mind. Additionally, having folks around you pushes even higher performance for most of us, so it never hurts to have a couple extra pair of eyes on your next set.

3. Eating Habits

Eating poorly won’t halt progress entirely, but it will make your process entirely more difficult. Tie your eating habits into building consistency by developing a meal plan, monitoring your calorie intake, and doing your own bit of research on which meals fit your goals best. 

2. Ego Management

Similar to eating habits, an ego can quickly derail your season or progress if you don’t watch out. Finding like-minded folks is part of having a strong workout regimen and team performance, though most of ego management is internal. Be mindful of how you interact with your peers and the difference it carries into team performance (as well as your own) when you stay positive and accountable.

1. Supplements and Support Routine

If you’ve ever been in a gym, you know everyone’s got something to help them get through their workout/recover from it. Protein shakes, energy drinks, pre-workout, there’s any number of routes you can go to give yourself daily support. The perfect combination really just depends on the athlete, and finding what works for you. 

At Troomy, we’ve found a good rule of thumb to find the perfect supplement is avoiding caffeine, loads of sugars, and non-organic ingredients. In our own practices, we craft our gummies by the same ideals to offer a complete range of gummies that can push you to the next level. In our featured blend Boost, we use cordyceps mushrooms to support better fatigue regulation, muscle development, oxygen/cardiovascular health, and immunity.

So to get moving on the court or in the weight room, let’s start building these habits up today with Boost gummies powered by cordyceps. Gotta make sure Tony doesn’t go ballistic again, ya know?
