The gap between who you are and who you could be, closed one rep at a time.

means The act of repeatedly performing an activity to improve at it, or the established way something is customarily done.

from From Greek 'praktikos' (fit for action, practical), rooted in 'prassein' (to do, to act). It traveled through Latin 'practica' and Old French into Middle English, where it kept its core insistence: knowledge isn't proven by knowing — it's proven by doing, again and again.
