What Can Focus Do For You

I don't hear a lot of people talking about the virtues
of concentration and focus. It's something I think
most people associate with things that require
extreme concentration like tightrope walking.

The truth is for any kind of athlete though focus
can be invaluable. It will allow you to:

-> Defeat teams with greater athleticism

-> Perform with more consistently by not drifting
mentally in and out

-> Perform when it matters most, like free throws
in crunch time.

-> Work smarter in practices and in the off season

-> Block out adversity and distractions

With the ability to focus on the moment an athlete
can get in a mental state which will let his or her
physical ability be maximized. What people call
"being in the zone".

The value of focus for a shooter is obvious, but the
ability to concentrate and get in the zone where
your mind doesn't interfere with what you've
been trained to do is a skill everybody needs so
keep practicing your sitting still routine. It's a
good start.
