When I wrestled in high school what separated the best wrestlers from the crap wrestlers was there was no such thing as an off season. We trained all year round.
Part of the season was training, competing, testing your skills and winning awards and the second part was just training. The first part was the funnest, most rewarding, shortest and the in season.
After the season ended more than a third of the team stopped training and came back when the "season" started back again. All those who did this eventually quit or achieved mediocre success. Whats great about an individual sport is that all the work you put in is exposed. There's no one to blame but yourself.
Whats separates the champion from the loser is sometimes "showing up". Working at your goal not only when you feel like it but when you don't, in season and out of season. Remember there's no such thing as an off season to the successful.
