Ep. 59: Courage Casts- Perfect Practice Makes Perfect
In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, retired Las Vegas Police Captain Josh Bitsko breaks down the real meaning behind “practice makes perfect.” He explains why it’s not just the amount of training that matters, but the quality of it and how the right mindset and instruction can make all the difference.
Drawing on his experience as a K9 handler, leader, and instructor, Josh shares how effective training starts with understanding both the material and the people you’re teaching. He talks about the importance of vetting your sources, learning from those with real experience, and developing the skills to teach, not just do.
This episode is a reminder that growth comes from intentional effort. It’s not just about showing up for practice, it’s about practicing the right way.
