A comment from [Tiger Woods](http://www.tigerwoods.com/defaultflash.sps) prior to a June U.S. Open round was very telling relative to language and how it affects actions.

While most athletes talk about warming up, preparing, or getting ready, Tiger described his pre-round activities as “[rehearsal](http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:xRQ93hQcTBoJ:fortifyservices.blogspot.com/2007/05/mastery-why-is-rehearsal-so-important.html+%22tiger+woods%22+rehearse&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=7&gl=us&ie=UTF-8).” And rather than simply hitting golf balls, he rehearses specific shots he expects to face during the course of a round. That’s a far cry from warming up, and his results obviously reflect that.

Take a lesson here and let’s all ask ourselves - How do I get ready for the important activities (both personal and professional) in my life? Do I **warm up** or do I **rehearse**?
