How can you move the crowd? First of all how has your game evolved. Unless you standout during play (most every time you ball), in truth, your standing doesn’t lie in the company of top players (at all).
Standing out against top players in basketball may perhaps be tougher than finding a needle in the mountains of Afghanistan. However, decisively less of a challenge with some type of guide that can get you there. Trouble is too many players (particularly Do-Howers) bristle at any directions or road maps. They’re generally convinced they know how to get there —even when they don’t. Trust me on this one (phff)…that’s the wrong know how.
“The Virtual Game of Basketball” is the Martial Arts of basketball (MAB). The book chronicles all the things necessary to absolutely dominate your opponent in a basic way, yet look spectacular in doing so. It’s simply a collection of the optimal maneuvers of the game, broken down to the nth degree for the average I.Q’d person to understand.
For several years I’ve watched to find what things (physical and technical) created advantages during play. These observations have revealed that most of the players- that can “play”, manipulate in the same fashion mathematically– both technically and physically. If you’ve ever seen the show Sports Science… you know what I’m referring to. As a matter of fact, the top players typically execute with an even “cleaner” version of math–which explains why the top players are not always the most physical performers. In actuality, the more technical the performer, the less physicality required to be successful.
I was watching a college ballgame recently and marveled not at how often virtual things came up, but how there was no ONE virtual player on any of the teams I saw. Several players did technically precise things… but only in snippets. A virtual play here, a virtual play there, but no one person doing virtual things all the time or on purpose. It’s agonizing watching talented athletes unaware of their defaults, let alone not optimizing them. Sadly it’s a tragedy that hasn’t played itself out yet, but sure to come (if they’re trying to get to the highest level). DO-HOW WITHOUT KNOW-HOW is the "lottery ticket" road to success--good luck, I truly hope it works out for you.
The crazy thing is, any player with consistent optimal defaults is that dude or dudette- regardless of size or athleticism. Add physicality to the mix, it’s a rap. Do-how with “virtual” know -how is deadly.
Skill vs. Will
Some individuals have a fair amount of skill set, but not enough “will-set”. Will-set starts with how you feel about yourself and what type of outcome you expect to have. Once a person with a healthy amount of will-set establishes or projects a certain (positive) outcome or "gets comfortable", they'll fight like crazy to see it through to fruition. Some have the will-set, but have far less skill set than they would ever believe. The truth is both are necessary for consistent performance.
Some players have the right skill-sets, yet fail to develop the right nuances or (modes of conduct) game-time. They seem to have difficulty implementing their abilities into play. Lacking the right nuances or little things may not even be your fault, but at the end of the basketball day everything comes down to what defaults you put on display. IF YOU DON’T SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW… WHO CARES WHAT YOU KNOW?
