Almost Cut My Hair

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was getting kind of long
I could have said it was in my way

But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone

- David Crosby with CSNY

According to an AP story and photo this morning
Steve Nash, two-time NBA MostValuable Player,
doesn't subscribe to that philosophy. He's sporting
a buzz cut these days instead of his near-trademark
unruly hairdo.

Steve had taken time recently to work in Vancouver
with 20 of Canada's top high school basketball
players at a Nike-sponsored training camp. The
players were understandibly impressed, and Nash
had this advice:

"I just try to tell them how hard you have to work
and how bad you have to want it to be a good
player. A lot of time kids say they want to be great,
but they don't want to put in the time."

Can I get an AMEN? That is one of the natural
flaws of youth, isn't it? And it may have gotten
worse in today's modern affluent society.

Steve Nash is known for his ballhandling, his floor
leadership, his pinpoint passing, and his clutch
shooting. But he's earned all those skills through
hard work. That's what it takes.

How big is your desire?

If it's at 70 on a scale of 100, and you come up
against an obstacle that's a 50, no problem. If,
however, you're facing an obstacle that's an 85
you're in trouble and may even quit, or you
need to find a way to raise your desire.

Got it? How big is YOUR 'want to'?

To go along with your 'want to' you do need some
'how to'. Dr. Hal Wissel can show you how to
develop the shooter's confidence using positive
self-talk and keywords to trigger good mechanics,
rhythm and range.

And what is it worth to you to learn how to correct
your own shooting flaws and develop the quick-
release pro shot Hal teaches at:

moves for 14 practical game-time situations?
Wouldn't your shots start dropping then? In
addition what if you could get schooled on post

Basketball Shooting DVD will bring you at:
