How Imagination Trumps Terrorism

There's a new show on TV this fall called "Jericho".
It's about the people in a small town in Kansas who
see a mushroom cloud over Denver to the west and
find themselves cut off from the outside world not
knowing for sure the breadth of what is going on.
Nuclear terrorism is the implication, and you can
imagine the fear and panic that might arise in the
townspeople.

After they all make it through one crisis in the pilot
but are turning on one another the mayor of the
town needs to maintain order and rally the citizenry.
And the keynote of his message is this:

"Are we going to use our imaginations to solve
problems, or to cause them."

I'm not sure the writers of that show have any idea
how profound a statement that is, but in my mind
and experience it is radically true. You can use your
thoughts and imagination to make situations better,
or to make them worse. Every time. Believe it or
not, you have that kind of power.

When Dr. Maxwell Maltz wrote "Psycho-
Cybernetics" fifty years ago athletes were among
the first to to prove it's ideas true in scientific
studies and on the field of battle, and that is
happening more and more everyday.

As a shooter you have much evidence of the power
of your imagination. You're probably aware one of
the first documented studies of imagination practice
involved freethrow shooting. The group which only
practiced in their imagination had virtually the same
gains as the group which practiced shooting
mechanically everyday.

So I'm probably preaching to the choir on this one,
but if you're not hitting baskets in perfect form in
your mind on a daily basis you have left one of your
most powerful training weapons on the rack.

And that's just a beginning. Let Coach Stan Kellner
show you the vast array of mental tools at your
disposal in his new, "How To Become A Prime-Time
Shooting Machine" DVD. It's available today at:
