The Power of Positive Conditioning

A couple of weeks ago we were discussing how
speed coach Tim Kauppinen and I think it's
counter-productive to use running, sprinting, and
stair work as discipline for not paying attention,
goofing off, insubordination, etc.

I'm not saying some players don't need negative
motivation. Everybody is different. You do what
you have to do.

But in general we feel performance will be at a
much higher level if players are taught to value
and cherish conditioning.

How much better would your team be if
conditioning were treated as a source of pride, not
a result of punishment. In that environment you
can also use your sprinting to build teamwork and
chemistry.

Here's what Coach Bruce E. Brown asks his
players to get them in the right mindset:

1. Do you believe being in great condition will make
you a better player?

2. Do you believe being a better player will make
us a better team?

3. Do you believe conditioning will let us all have
more success?

4. Do you believe great conditioning is something
championship teams have?

Conclusion: Conditioning should be treated as a
privilege.

Stay tuned to find ways to make that happen.

When you discover the value of hill and stair
sprinting you should find yourself playing and
shooting at an elite level.

Don't Forget To Vote

November 7th was election day here in the good ole
USA, and I hope you voted. But if not, don't come
crying to me. It is a big deal, and I take my voting
seriously.

If you didn't vote though I've got some good news
for you. You're not stuck with the results It's not
too late to still vote.

I'm talking about an even more important vote. One
you should be making every day.

I'm talking about voting to say yes to your
worthwhile dreams, visions, and burning desires.
As most philosophers, thinkers, and doers in
history have believed, that is the start of all
achievement. And deciding to vote yes to your
future will be the start of something big for you
too.

I believe learning to translate your dreams into
reality is the most important ability you can have
in life, and they don't teach that in any school I've
ever heard of.

I'm not knocking education, but if you want a real
education in what counts most I recommend a
course based on one of the premier self-help books
of all time, 'Psycho-Cybernetics' by Dr. Maxwell
Maltz.

The course uses 12 CD's and 2 large workbooks to
teach Dr. Maltz' ideas in a fun, easy, practical format
which makes forming new habits and change a breeze.

You can struggle, strive, and stress over your life or
you can discover 'Zero Resistance Living' today if
you'll hop on over to:

Keepin' Up With The Joneski's

In the late 70's I had a a personal trainer who had
been a high school wrestling coach before going out
on his own. He used to tell a lot of stories, and one
of the ones I remember best is how the legendary
wrestler and coach Dan Gable won the 1972
Olympics.

Gable dominated those games like few have before
or since, not giving up a point in his six matches.
He trained seven hours a day for three years. From
what I was told whenever he was tempted to take
it easy he had a secret technique to keep himself
moving. All he had to do was tell himself, 'I know
the Russians aren't resting. I bet they're doing
pushups right now.' And he would get back to
work.

As a shooter chances are there's somebody out
there, at another school or on another industrial
league team who is about your height, quickness
and skill level. And if that other player is willing
to put in the time - someday, somewhere you are
going to go heads up against him (or somebody
just as determined), and you may well lose.

But if you're willing to do the work, you hold your
destiny in your own hands. My advice is to make
a quality decision today and bust your rumpus
regularly.

You could have another edge too though. What
your competitor might not do is work as hard as
you do on your mental game. What you think,
and feel, and focus on.

That's where Coach Stan Kellner can be your best
friend. He can help you maximize your mind
power and raise your shooting to the elite level.

Why not get started today? Who knows what your
competition is doing with their time. Get your
winning mental edge today at:

Shoot For The Stars,

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. Any time you get weary of shooting it's time to
go back to your roots and renew your vision. A great
way to do that is to let Coach Tom Nordland inspire
you with his vision of shooting. Tom's original Swish
DVD does that, but his newest Swish 2 DVD covers
all that and more. Everything Tom's learned over
the last 9 years, in fact.

It's a double-shot of motivation and expert technique
just for you if you're ready to jump on it now at:
