Go 'All In' The Mental Game

Coach Kenny Sacht from the great state of Idaho
emailed today with some great ideas on using your
mind to become a better shooter, and a better player,
period.

Kenny was very successful as a 5'10" - 165 lb athlete
when he competed, and he says without a doubt
mental conditioning gave him the edge he needed to
excel, and he teaches his teams to do the same. At
first his new players might look at him like a dog at
a new bowl, but when they see results they are
hooked.

He did bring up another interesting point too, and I'll
let him tell it:

"Check this out though: In surveys done with
coaches something like 80-90% of coaches say
mental conditioning/sports psychology is very
important. Yet when asked how much time they
spend on the mental game, very few actually did!"

I've been wondering WHY all day, and the only
answer I can think of is those coaches don't feel
qualified or confident to lead their charges in that
direction.

And I'm assuming their programs couldn't afford
to bring in a sports psychologist.

I know I keep dangling the carrot in front of you,
but that's why Stan Kellner's new shooting DVD
and overall basketball cybernetics program is going
to be so valuable to you, and that's also why I'm so
excited about it.

He gives you step by step directions for winning the
mental game and blasting through your self-imposed
limits. I talked to Stan last night, and he said the DVD's
are finished, and he's just waiting on the artwork and
packaging to be done. That's great news.

You need to start saving your allowances for this one.
No excuses. And if you say you can't afford it, you're
asking yourself the wrong question. The only valid
question in your mind should be, "Just how can I
afford it?" That will spark your creativity and get the
job done.

Shoot for the Stars,

P.S. While you're saving for Stan's materials I'm sure
you could spring for some "Captains of Crush" industrial
strength hand grippers from John Wood at Functional
Hand Strength headquarters. See what you're missing
