Hoop season is coming fast. Last spring season came and went, the summer circuit has evaporated into the fall, and now we're trudging through winter-again.
Basketball time goes faster than any other, which can be a beautiful thing-- if you’re doing the right thing Otherwise the tries don’t supply the change, and your game stays the same … (mostly)🙁
SoHh... how much have you grown as a player since the whistle blew out the last season? You’ve certainly gotten older (like everyone else). I bet you've thrown up a few weights, AND I imagine you’re a bit stronger…correct?
For sure you’ve gotten plenty of shots...everybody loves getting up shots.
Hopefully you’re not grooving any faulty mechanics. As strange as it sounds, be cautious with shooting machines. Using machines before you’re technically “ready” may help you get tons of less than optimal reps and may “help you” get better at shooting with a higher degree of difficulty than what is necessary? Refine your shooting technique first which can be done from as little as a foot away. The critical element is the technical precision of the shot--not the distance per se. Strength and sound mechanics are the best options for increasing distance.. Stay close (to the basket) with your reps until you can get the ball to return back to your shooting hand consistently. This indicates that your delivery is mathematically sound.
Anyway, the main thing, in terms of development, is whether you made strides (with your overall game); particularly in a way that separates you from the masses of other ball-playing sisters and brethren. If you feel like you've improved your on-court performance not only are you lucky, but you are also part of a very small crowd of players who got significantly better.
As I mentioned in “Empty Without It”…. there’s definitely 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 efforts- especially the hard workers. All the long hours put in, all the sweat they saw fall, there should be a higher ROI perhaps.
True growth requires MPT: the right Materials, proper Pressure, and Time to make it happen. If your goal is CQI (continuous quality improvements), E5M (Every 5 Minutes) your efforts must fall within these precise guidelines.
Respect yourself enough as a player to register and accept optimizing information where you may find it. Unfortunately, the right materials is often hard to come by.
