Who Believes In You

To be a great shooter you have to have a
confidence that won't quit. You have to believe
in yourself. Many times you will have your
coaches and teammates believing in you too,
but for those times when you think nobody
does, remember...

God Believes In You.

When you start to doubt that you exist,
God believes in you.
Confounded by the evidence,
God believes in you.
When your light burns so dim,
When your chances seem so slim,
And you swear you don't believe in Him,
God believes in you.

When you rise up just to fall again,
God believes in you.
Deserted by your closest friends,
God believes in you.
When you're betrayed with a kiss,
You turn your cheek to another fist,
It does not have to end like this,
God believes in you

Oh everything matters,
If anything matters at all.
Everything matters.
No matter how big.
No matter how small.
Oh, God believes in you.
Yes, God believes in you.

When you're so ashamed that you could die,
God believes in you.
And you can't do right even though you try,
God believes in you.
Blessed are the ones who grieve,
The ones who mourn, the ones who bleed,
In sorrow you sow, but in joy you reap,
God believes in you.

Oh everything matters,
If anything matters at all.
Everything matters.
No matter how big.
No matter how small.
Oh, God believes in you.
Yes, God believes in you.

Shooting For The Stars,

Coach Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. If you don't believe in a higher power I
don't mean to offend or anything. I do hope
you are seeking truth, because I know then
you will find.

And if you believe, but not in a personal God,
I understand. You think it's lessens His glory
that way. In that case substitute the Universe,
the Force, Source, the Eternal, etc. above.

But know still that you are loved.

P.P.S. Another way to build up your belief in
your shooting ability is to affirm your shooting
as you are practicing. Coach Hal Wissel shows
you how to do that through 'keywords' and
'triggers'. Those are mental hooks into your
subconscious that help you pull up the physical
responses you want when you are shooting.

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.

stroke today at:

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.
