OK, What Did the Chart Say?

Hoop season is coming fast.  Last spring season came and went, and the summer circuit has evaporated into the fall… real quick I might add, huh? Basketball time goes faster than any other- which is a beautiful thing, if you’re doing the right thing (s).

Otherwise the tries don’t supply the change, and your game stays the same … mostly 🙁

 

So, how much have you grown as a player since the whistle blew out last season? You’ve gotten a little older and like everyone else in every sport, I’m sure you’ve thrown up a few weights, so you’re probably a bit stronger…

 

I suspect you’ve gotten  plenty of shots up too (everybody loves getting up shots). Hopefully you’re not grooving any faulty mechanics. As strange as it sounds, be careful with shooting machines. Using machines before you’re technically “ready” will help you get tons of less than optimal reps and “help you” get better at  shooting with a higher degree of difficulty than what is necessary?  Refine your shooting technique first. This can be done from a foot away. It’s about the technical precision of the shot, not the distance per se.   Distance (eventually) comes with more foot power.  Stay close (to the basket) with your reps until you can get the ball to come back to your shooting hand continuously.   This will indicate a mathematically sound delivery.

 

Anyway, the main thing is whether you made strides (with your overall game) in a way that separates you from the masses of other ball-playing sisters and brethren, and greatly improve your on- court performance? . If you did, not only are you lucky, but also part of a very small crowd- particularly at the high school, college and professional levels. Like I said in “Empty Without It”…. there’s a difference between just going to the gym and growing at the gym- no matter how many hours you spend there. The sole goal should be chartable growth at all times.

 

How do you think your personal growth would look on a chart? Most players would actually be shocked to see the marginal gains of their effort (s)- especially the hard-workers. All the long hours put in, and all the sweat they saw fall, there should be a higher ROI perhaps. Unfortunately, it’s trickier than that.

 

True growth requires MPT: the right Materials, proper pressure, and time to make it happen. If your goal is CQI (continuous quality improvements), your efforts must fall within these guidelines and unfortunately, the right materials is hard to come by. If you’ve read the article,“By The Time You Get to Where You’re Going”, then you understand, there really is no time to spare – if you’re truly serious about getting better in real-time. Some how you’ve got to “Listen to the Message” and if possible,  get yourself ”From Do-How to Know-How… Hopefully”— while you have a chance.
