Can You Repeat That Again

Pete and Repeat sittin' in a tree. Pete fell out. Who was left?

Repeat.

Pete and Repeat sittin' in a tree . . .

I'm sure you've heard some variation of that little ditty when
you were a kid. Are you the kind of person who would keep
making the speaker repeat himself, or would you do your
darndest never to say repeat?

I think most of us fall in the latter category. We don't like to
repeat things much. How many books have you read more
than once? Probably only a few. And a movie has to be totally
exceptional for you to want to see it more than once or twice.

Dr. Hal Wissel says 1,000 shots a day in good form for 21 days
will make you a shooter. Larry Bird and Michael Jordan have
always preached the same kind of a work ethic.

You can learn to shoot. There are plenty of quality shooting
videos that don't cost an arm and a leg. In fact, before too
long I'll have all the best ones available at:

but no video on earth has the power to make you get out and
shoot, shoot and shoot some more.

Like it or not, repetition of the right stuff is the key to improving
your shooting. So why haven't you done more of it then? Maybe
it's because you think it's going to be boring.

Fear not, though. It doesn't have to be so. You CAN enjoy the
journey. One of the best ways is to use your creative imagination.

How? By by turning on your mental DVD player and:

Seeing yourself making the winning last second shot in the
championship game and feeling the rush of elation that comes.

Seeing your name written up in the paper and feeling justifiably
proud.

Seeing yourself being rewarded for all your work with game time
scoring runs.

Hearing the deafening roar of the crowd every time you score.

Feeling the thrill of victory before it happens.

Do this enough and no repetition need ever become boring.

Another technique you can use to energize your shooting routine
is by practicing awareness. Pay attention to shooting mechanics,
body position, tension and relaxation in your muscles, your
breathing, the thoughts running through your head, your self-talk,
etc. Not all at one time of course, but pick one thing at a time to
focus on an see how that can work to better your shooting.

You can do it. You have done it in the past with something you
really wanted to do. You may have surprised even yourself, and
you would not be denied.

Spend a few minutes re-living one of those success experiences
as vividly as you can, then let those feelings bubble over into
your practice. You will see a big difference, and it won't take
long.

Wait till you see Stan Kellner's new "Ultimate Shooting DVD"
which applies cybernetic training techniques in much more
detail specifically to shooting the basketball. It is a match
made in heaven. It will be out in a couple of weeks, and
knowing what kind of results he gets teaching this in his
camps you are going to love the results you will get. Shooting
will never be boring again.
