Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

I'm listening this afternoon to a live recording of a
public rehearsal for Bruce Springsteen's latest tour
with his new "Seeger Sessions Band".

The players aren't household names, but they're at
the top of their acoustic craft, and the show is a
tribute to American folk & roots music, like that
popularized by Pete Seeger.

If you like washboards, dobros, honky tonk pianos,
pedal steel guitars, stand up basses, tubas, banjos,
fiddles, and acoustic guitars you're going to love
this tour and Bruce's new album. It's quite a
departure from his earlier acoustic work, and it is
filled with a joyous, uplifting groove that is
infectious.

Now playing is their rendition of the gospel-tinged
civil rights anthem "Keep Your Eyes On The Prize".

There's a world of wisdom in that title. Enough to
guide your life by if you'll take it to heart.

Whether you're talking about income, career,
championships, a mate, awards, free throws or
3-pointers the most important thing you can do
is focus on your target.

The sad truth though is way too much of the time
people are focused on what they DON'T want.
Guess what they're most likely to get?

More of what they don't want. It's just a law of
nature many call the law of attraction.

In shooting, coaches differ as to what a shooter
should be focusing on. What makes most sense
to me is the estimated center of the rim, one of
the back net hooks, or just over the front rim.
Sighting the net hook seems to put my eyes on
the center without having the ambiguity of an
open space to deal with, but mileage of will
surely vary on that.

If you want the wisdom of a coach who was a high
school prodigy and who has studied shooting
extensively for the past 16 years the place to start
is Tom Nordland's Swish 1 DVD at:
