When It's OK To Be A Yes Man

My kids sometimes can't get enough of the social
networking sites like myspace and youtube.

Another one that can be be very addictive is "Hot
or Not". That's where kids rate the pictures of other
kids for "hotness". It is all about looks and the bar is
set very high, so we make sure our kids know where
true beauty lies, but isn't it so human nature want to
to rate things.

On www.HoopsU.com Coach Tony Alfonso has a list
where you can rate yourself as basketball player.

If you can answer "yes" to enough of Tony's
questions you're well on your way toward being an
outstanding hoopster.

Here are some sample questions:

Are you always on balance before shooting, passing,
or dribbling?

Do you typically sprint between the 3-pt lines when
changing ends?

Do you keep a daily shot chart and measure your
shooting progress?

What about you? Have you started charting your
shooting yet? Why not? Don't be afraid it will point
out how bad you are. If you see this kind of
recordkeeping as anything other than a learning
tool, you need to change your mind. All the
numbers are is feedback so you can tell when and
where you're making progress.

And if you're not getting better, you want to know
that so you can find out why, ASAP. Also keeping
written records will work as a goal reminder to shoot
your targeted number of baskets each day.

Try it, even on a small scale, and see if it doesn't
propel you to more success at putting the ball
through the basket which is what really matters.

Coach Stan Kellner can help you retool your mental
attitude toward shooting too with his, "How To
Become A Prime-Time Shooting Machine" DVD.

P.S. I just read a super e-book on how to become a
big-time scorer, and I'm working with the Patrick
Chylinski the author on being able to carry his book
in my product line.

Keep you're eyes and ears open to find out how YOU
CAN AVERAGE OVER 20 POINTS A GAME. It's
not good enough to be a good shooter, as valuable as
that is. Defenses are getting tougher and tougher
every year. You can have the purest stroke in the
world, but if you can't get open looks you'll never be
very effective. But don't despair. Help is on the way.

Make Every Shot Count
