What You Can Learn From Cats
I'm not talking about "Cats" the musical, as good
as that is. And I love musicals, but I'm interested
in the real animals tonight.
Big cats.
Lion, tiger, leopard, and cheetah cats.
'Eye of the Tiger' from Rocky III is a lot more than
just the #1 song of 1982. In our culture now it
represents the essence of single-minded focus and
desire. Interesting too it was sung by a group called,
"Survivor".
Is there any better picture of concentration and
focus than that of a hungry lion or tiger stalking
it's prey?
And you know why?
Because there's no welfare line for lions.
The big cat concentrates because he has to. His
survival depends on it. He doesn't want to go
hungry.
Most of the time though we humans concentrate
because we choose to.
And to be a great basketball shooter you have to
have the hunger and focus of a lion. You have to
feel your very survival is at stake, because desire
and 'want to' are what separate the pretenders
from true champions.
Not just in the fancy arenas in front of big crowds
either. In the hot sweaty cracker box gym you
shoot in. In the early morning hours when you get
100 shots in before breakfast. That's how winners
are made. It's a tried and true formula.
You can increase your hunger for shooting though
by feasting on video of astounding marksman like
Dr. Hal Wissel's son Paul.
See him almost will the ball in the basket with
perfect form while sitting in a chair at the 3 point
line in Hal's "Confidence, Rythm, and Mechanics"
fundamental of shooting DVD. See him shoot like
his life depends on it, and you can't help want to
do the same.
And see him shoot off the dribble, off the pass, off
the curl, and in the post from all angles in Hal's
second, advanced shooting DVD.
See it, believe it, and do it yourself at:

Shoot for the Stars,
Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops
P.S. Stan Kellner has a drill in his "Beyond The
Absolute Limit" book called "Bear-Offs" which
develops hunger, aggressiveness and intensity
in all types of players almost overnight.
I won't give it away, but no physical contact is
involved. It starts by pairing up polite, reserved
players with more intense ones and ends with
both shouting "I Am A Beast" over an over
again to the cheers of all their teammates.
And see ordinary shooters become beasts to
be rekonned with on Stan's "Prime-Time
Shooting Machine" DVD too.
If you want to get the most out of yourself and
those you work with, don't miss any of Stan's
genius methods at:
