As kids we are taught to dream big and work like hell to make them come true. Well, don’t believe the hype — at least not entirely. Dreams do come true (it COULD happen to you)- perhaps you’ve heard the jingle? Yes, they may come true , but only if you do what must be done to embody who you want to be.
“What are the chances of randomly acquiring the necessary skill sets to become a top player? As a result, “stars” are rare. That means most players are in desperate need of the right information or materials to become the diamond of their dreams…”
In basketball, like many endeavors, there’s such a narrow window in which to actualize as a top performer- particularly if you have aspirations of playing collegiately or professionally. Often times, hoop dreams turn to hoop hopes, which turn to unanswered prayers. Those that continue to live the dream are but hopeless dreamers, desperately trying to get through a window that will never re-open. This is the case in all sports, but painfully true in basketball.
Truthfully, the window was never really open. Of the myriad of challenges on the road to a college scholarship or NBA opportunity – being skilled enough is certainly one of them. It seems that so many skilled individuals never quite make it to the big-time. On closer look, these players typically have “little things” missing from their games. Those trace elements of successful play that typically go unnoticed by most (players), because they’re unknown by most – and that includes far too many modern coaches.
As a result, individuals never quite get what they really need to make it happen – unless they somehow randomly acquire the skill sets. This makes many so close… yet so far away from their goals.
The key is preparing yourself properly as quickly as possible to fit inside the limited time frame available to capitalize.
Think of how many people would be high school stars, if they were allowed to participate years after their eligibility. This holds true for every level. There are former college players playing in Men’s and Women’s leagues across the country who would kill in college. However, with their eligibility gone… so is their opportunity.
What is needed is some sort of guide to help you down the path. The guide could be an individual, reference material or both.
