Labor Day Diatribe

It's hard for me to get into Labor Day here in the
USA. I wish they'd just call it 'End Of Summer'
Day or something. Does anybody else feel like it's
too much like a socialist holiday? At least we don't
celebrate May Day too.

I'm all for honoring the worker, and the way we do
that is treat him with respect, give him recognition,
and pay him well for his productivity.

I know labor unions have done some good over the
years, especially in their beginnings, but my
experiences with them have been consistently
negative. Most of what I've seen are people trying
to get paid for doing as little as possible. That just
rubs me the wrong way.

I'm just glad that mindset doesn't work on the
basketball court. Sports is still one area people don't
try to make you feel guilty about achievement.

The flip side of that though is you have to produce.
There's a lot of teamwork, support, comraderie, and
dareI say love in sports. But it's a tough love.

Bottom line is if you want to be known as a shooter,
you're going to have to shoot - shoot a lot. I've heard
pro scouts like to see kids shooting at least 500 quality
shots a day if they have pro aspirations.

And I've heard at least 200 shots a day would be a
good benchmark for high school players who are
college prospects.

In his two shooting DVD's Dr. Hal Wissel presents a
plan for turning you into a deadly shooter in 21 days.
Using his warm-ups and drills you can get in 1000
shots in good form in under 2 hours a day. If you
are serious about your shooting you can't beat Hal's
plan with a big old stick. The sooner you get to work

the sooner you can reap the rewards.

P.S. Coach Tim Kauppinen is getting rave reviews on
his new hill and stair sprinting program. Here's his
letter of the week.

I'm sure you're inundated with emails (congratulations
on your success!) but I just wanted to provide you with
a quick update. I'm still doing short sprint workouts
now for only about 45-min/day (including lifting) and
am way more cut than when I was in college as a D-1
athlete, working out 4 hrs/day. Thanks for the great
advice! Keep up the great work!
