Who's Got Your Blind Spot

Who's Got Your Blind Spot

"Phil Jackson knows how to coach me. He gets me
angry. When I get angry, I dominate. It's perfect."

-Shaquille O'Neal

Of course you know what happened this year with
Shaq under another champion-caliber coach, Pat
Riley. They've both got new world championship
rings. And how many did Michael Jordan and Phil
Jackson both collect in Chicago?

No matter how talented or gifted you are (or think
you are) at something, you can get better.
And probably much better.

Shaq has, and it took great coaches to channel his
unique individual abilities into a winning team
concept.

Most of the time a good coach can push you harder
and motivate you more than you would yourself.

If you have a good shooting coach locally do
whatever you can to sit under his teaching. It will
pay off in spades in the end.

But shot coaches are not a dime a dozen so you may
well have to get your coaching from a distance-ed
coach via power-packed DVD's. Nothing wrong with
that if you understand what you need.

If you need a vision for what you can accomplish as
a shooter I think Coach Tom Nordland's Swish 2
video is a tremendous resource. Get your passion

How To See Your Future

In his book 'Sacred Hoops' Phil Jackson relates how
B.J. Armstrong would use visualizations before
games.

'I believe if I can take twenty or thirty minutes
before each game and visualize what's going to
happen I'll be able to react to it without thinking
because I will already have seen it in my mind. I
can see myself making a shot or boxing out or
getting a loose ball.

And then when I see that come up during the game
I don't think about it. I do it. There are no second
thoughts. No hesitation.'

If it's that important for professionals to use their
imagination in preparing for a game how much
more so for the rest of us.

Sometimes it's not easy though. It comes naturally
to some. Others struggle with it. That's why I
recommend Stan Kellner's materials on basketball
cybernetics. He will teach you dozens and dozens of
ways to turbo-charge your game through learning
to use your imagination positively.

I know you can do it. You already use your mind
negatively when you worry about anything. You
run a 'what if' scenerio in your imagination, don't
you?

So why can't you use your imagination positively
for your own good?

You might just need a little help first. Then you'll
be taking off like a Saturn rocket. Isn't that what
coaches are for.

Shoot For the Stars,

P.S. The help you need is only a click away. Don't
be too proud to ask for help, or lollygag around and
miss out on your super-future.

A Promise Kept

In one of my early emails I told you 'Hoosiers' was
my second favorite movie and promised one day
I'd talk about my all-time fave.

It happens to be another sports flick, and an
Academy Award winner. My favorite line from
it is:

'I believe God made me for a purpose, but I also
believe he made me fast, and when I run, I can feel
His pleasure.

The movie, of course, is 'Chariots of Fire'.

There is a very real sense of accomplishment and
pleasure when you are in that relaxed performance
state commonly called 'the zone'. Anything you do
will be better done if you are relaxed. And feel-
good brain chemicals are released too.

It's what the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation calls
'Zero Resistance', and one of your primary missions
as an athlete should be to learn how to get in that
state and stay there.

In his book 'Sacred Hoops' Phil Jackson talks about
how during time outs he gets his players to mentally
relax and concentrate on what he is saying by
leading them in a quickie visualization he calls 'safe
spot'.

While they are grabbing a drink and toweling off he
encourages them to take a short mental vacation
and visit that place in their imagination where they
feel most relaxed and secure.

Now some people think Phil is a bit of a kook, but
who can argue with his results. His 9 NBA title-
winning teams tie him with Red Auerbach for the
most ever.

Now you see why I think so highly of what Stan
Kellner teaches. If you want to understand how to
maximize your mind power to win games, his book
and basketball visualization CD are unbeatable.

And if you want to become automatic as a shooter
his Ultimate Shooting Method DVD is a must.

Order the whole package or the shooting DVD

Shoot for the Stars,

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. If you want to live your whole life in 'the zone'
nothing beats the 'Zero Resistance Living' course
from Matt Furey and the Psycho-Cybernetics
Foundation. It's 556 pages and 12 CD's will show
you how to live a friction free lifestyle no matter
what challenges you face.

And it's available only at:
