Have you been able to jump higher with consistent results?
Do you believe you could play much better than you currently are?
Do you think you could improve your physical aspect of the game?
Yes?
Have you been able to jump higher with consistent results?
Do you believe you could play much better than you currently are?
Do you think you could improve your physical aspect of the game?
Yes?
You're closer to having more inches, more muscle, and more game speed in your life than you might imagine.
This season could be the season that the results you'll always dreamed about will happen.
BUT...
If you're like lots of athletes, as much as you want and try for athletic superiority, you're NEVER going to have the gains you want with the sport you really want.
Why?
Not because you aren't a good athlete.
Not because you don't want it enough.
And not because you aren't willing to dedicate yourself and your time in order to get results in return.
No. Your problem isn't any of this.
The most common pitfall is simply that athletes get lumbered with incorrect training principals. The biggest problem is that athletes often just don't know what they are supposed to do in order to take their game to the next level...and keep it up. This results in many ineffective training hours with blood sweat and tears which leads to minimal improvements at best. This leads to heaps of frustration and perhaps even some potential stars quitting the the game.
Answer the following questions:
1) Are you physically as good as you can be right now?
2) Do you dominate your direct opponents in the way you want to?
3) Or are you still struggling with how to put on muscle, how to gain quickness and strength... and how to push your vertical to the max?
4) Do feel you are reaching your goals in your game and that you are physically as good as you can possible get?
5) Or have you spent most of the last year "spinning your wheels", with little or nothing to show for all your blood, sweat, and tears?
I ask these questions for an important reason...
Because ,I bet you have spent many hours training and have gone through a hell of a lot of blood sweat and tears and have just not seen the results you were expecting...all because, as with most other athletes, you have been working with the WRONG TRAINING PRINCIPALS...
You open to some help with that?
Good!
You willing to receive some assistance with that?
Great!
A tremendous amount of learning and power comes from taking a look at what you've been doing and asking yourself honestly "Why isn't what I'm doing working?"
You have the power to really and truly start creating exactly what it is you want from your body on the court right now. I need to ask you another question...and be blatantly honest with yourself when you answer.
Have you devised a plan on how you are going to achieve your goals on the court this year? Are you sure you are going to be able to play the game you want to and maintain it throughout the season? Or are you hoping somebody else is going to make it happen for you?
Not going to happen my friend!
Take a step back, look at your last few games and make a decision to change your focus slightly and put yourself on a new path to becoming the athlete you are capable of being - right now!
Check yourself and see what you would answer to the following tough questions:
1) Can you 360 at any time you choose?
2) Can you best all of your competition?
3) Can you alley hoop when the pressure is on?
4) Are you completely present and in the zone at every game?
5) Can you shoot a basketball with high levels of consistency
6) Can you jump as high as your potential allows?
If you have not already answered yes to ALL of the questions above, it means you are making a few crucial mistakes that will hamper you to play the game you want to play in every game. Luckily you can now easily identify the mistakes you have been making and with a few adjustments in focus and form, start getting the gains you have been working so hard for. The only thing left is for you to decide...Am I willing to make a commitment to myself and my game this season?
