What's That You Say

When you're practicing or playing hoops what kind of
questions run through your mind?

Are they questions that cut yourself down?

How could I be so stupid?
What kind of shot was that?
What am I going to screw up next?
How soon is coach going to yank me?
Am I ever going to get this right?

We can really be cruel to ourselves. I have a friend that
calls that internal terrorism, and believe me it is
damaging. Thoughts release chemicals in the body, and
the ones that are released with self-destructive
questions like that are bad news.

Studies have proven when people are exposed to rotten,
nasty, ugly pictures that depressive, toxic chemicals are
released in the body on the spot.

And of course, that starts a vicious cycle. The worse the
body feels the easier it is to focus on what is wrong, and
the more depressants are released. No wonder your
shooting goes in the tank in a hurry when you start
thinking like that.

You can reverse the process though by focusing on the
outcome you want, and by asking yourself enpowering
questions. Think about it.

You're going have to stop focusing on what you don't
want too. What you focus on gets magnified. There
are techniques for letting go of your fears and worries
and limiting beliefs you'll want to learn.

For instance, you can visualize missing a critical shot
and how bad you would feel on an LCD screen like an
IPOD Nano, then mentally hit the erase or cancel
button and watch the feeling's power drain away.
Then replace it with the winning shot you want to
see happen, and the subsequent jubilation you would
feel.

The Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation's "Zero
Resistance Living" course teaches you dozens and
dozens of ways to see yourself with kind eyes, and
to redirect your negative, self-destructive internal
programming. Just one of these techniques could
literally change the course of your life forever, and
you'll learn 81 of them.

Shoot for the Stars

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. Dr. Hal Wissel's new DVD, "Basketball Shooting:
Confidence, Rhythmn, & Mechanics" teaches you the
kind of self-talk and enpowering questions that will
make you a professional at shooting. Hal has a
program for turning around your shooting in 21 days
if you have a couple of hours a day to devote to it.
Perfect for the summer.

Basketball Hall of Fame coach Hubie Brown has this
to say about Coach Wissel:

"He ignites the spirit for improvement. Hal has the
ability to crystallize situations, and then select the
correct teaching technique to achieve maximum
success."

I'm still working on a page describing Coach Wissel's,
offerings in more detail, but if you're a real go-getter
who can't wait for that - order it now at:
