Help - I'm Stuck
Questions aren't just for learning and enpowerment.
There are times we are looking for answers to hard
questions. These are times where the rational mind
is wholly inadequate. Too many complex variables
and too many unknowns.
What we need are creative, inspired ideas.
How are we going to beat our cross town rival when
they have two all-state division one prospects on
their roster?
Where are we going to get a downpayment for that
house we want?
How are we going win with 2 seconds on the clock
needing to go the length of the floor knowing our
best shooter has fouled out?
I'm going to let you in on a big secret, and I hope you
use it often. It's something the most creative people
in history have used extensively. I know Mozart did,
for example.
You need to pose your brain-teasers to your
subconscious and then do an activity where your
conscious mind can't work on your problem. Do it
before going to bed, before going on a walk, before
taking a shower, before meditating, before playing
video games, etc.
That's it. Pose the questions. Then let your
subconscious work on them. You go about your
business then the next time you quiet your mind
you should be able to find some answers, and
usually they will be doozies.
You may wonder what this has to do with shooting.
It has to do with mental attitude. It has to do with
freeing up your mind to focus on the task at hand.
If you have unresolved questions bothering you can
you really concentrate on shooting your best? I can't.
How many times have you heard of a good player
having a bad shooting night, and find out later they
were struggling with some ongoing personal problem.
Maybe if they had known how to let their inner
wisdom take over, they wouldn't have had to worry
on the outside.
Shoot for the Stars,
Dean - The Dean of Hoops
P.S. Another brilliant way to clear your mind of it's
cobwebs is through positively charged energizing
music. Find out how the secret power of music can
