Can I Get An Update

In my Clark Kent day job I am a computer systems
administrator at the University of Florida. Whenever
we get a call at our Help Desk one of the first
questions we ask is:

"Have your updates been done recently?"

We do the updating automatically for most of our
systems, but if a user has his computer turned off
during the update window, they can miss it. And
missing it can be disastrous. It's a big security risk.

Not getting the latest updates on the art and science
of shooting hoops can severely affect you too. I am
all for learning and practicing the fundamentals, but
sometimes people do come up with a better way.

I started playing tennis when I was 6 because we
lived about a block from the city tennis courts.
Every summer a wonderful old soul from the YMCA
named Doc Hosbach would organize older kids to
teach tennis lessons to the youngsters, sell discount
equipment, organize games, and tournaments, etc.

I was pretty good and was runner-up in the 14 &
under city-wide tournament when I was 11. Soon
after we moved, and I never was able to put the
same amount of time in it as I had when I was
younger, but I still have good strokes, and a
surprisingly good serve.

I took some lessons a couple of years ago though,
to try to get back in the groove, and found my
basic strokes were older than old school. It was
like a 2 handed set shot is to basketball. With the
new techniques though the forehand now is much,
much more powerful and more versitile than it
ever was before.

So even if you have good fundamentals you still
might need an update or two in your shooting
technique.

But other times there are old skills that have
been forgotten, and need to be brought back into
the light. Matt Furey's revival of "Catch As Catch
Can" wrestling from the turn of the century
wrestlers like Farmer Burns is an example.

Please don't ever get where you think you know it
all, and can't learn anything anymore. Coach Tom
Nordland didn't sit back on his laurels when his Swish
video became a best-seller 9 years ago. He kept on
refining his shooting system and learn more. Finally
he had figured out so much more, he had to come out
with a new DVD, Swish 2. If you don't have it yet
you could be losing out in a big way.
