Dickie V's Four Keys

The first thing Steve Spurrier did when he came to
the University of Florida in the early 90's was to
work on changing the mindset of his team from
losers to winners. Or at least from those hoping to
win to those expecting to win. He got much of what
he taught from John Wooden, the legendary UCLA
basketball coach.

What does it take to be a winner?

A great place to start finding out is at your local
bookstore or public library. Skim the stories about
the lives of the famous. Look at those successful in
your field and out. You'll find they didn't become
successful because they sat around. Or because
they were just lucky.

Whether you like Dick Vitale's enthusiastic
mannerisms or not, you have to admit he's an
inspiring story. From 6th grade teacher to NBA
head coach in 8 years, only to get fired and go into
broadcasting till another coaching job opened up.
Never happened, but he's been living his dream
now for 28 years.

He said Thursday night he'll sit there sometimes
and feels like he's stealing. He get's paid huge
sums for doing what he loves.

Here's Dickey V's success formula from Thursday
night in one sentence:

Dream It, Feel It, Believe It, and Do It.

You can do that can't you?

It's no shame to need help along the way though.
Don't be too proud to let NBA shooting coach Hal
Wissel give you his expertise on his two "Shoot It
Better" DVD's.

Hal says not to think of him as a shot doctor, even
though he has a Ph.D, because that means the
players shot is sick. It's not. It just needs some
tweaking. One of the players on the Memphis
Grizzlies calls him a shot nutritionist.

Shoot For The Stars,

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. Did you hear Billy Donovan dropped the
Siemen's National Championship trophy at
Florida's Midnight Madness last night. I'm
surprised there weren't any heart attacks in
the bleachers.

It's a big crystal globe. (See a picture of me
almost holding it at www.deandelker.com.) It
shattered all over the O'Connell Center floor.
Fortunately though it was just a Hollywood
prop. The Gator boys were pulling a prank on
the crowd.

Don't drop the ball when your opportunity to
shine suddenly pops up. They say the best way
to learn something is to have to teach it to
someone else.

That's the philosophy Coach Tom Nordland took
in his new Swish 2 DVD, subtitled "Learning and
Coaching the Swish Method".

To learn shooting so well you can coach it sprint

And when you win your championships please don't
drop the trophy. Your fans might not have the heart
for it.
