Before I spoon feed you the key to ‘Real Life’
Basketball success and or failure, please be
prepared to forward this ‘jammed packed’ email
to anyone you know that might need a little help
and a help full kick in the butt.

They will thank you and so will I.

Let’s get moving.

Success or failure.

Discipline or Regret.

They are both your choice and responsibility.

They are!

Hear me loud and clear on this one.

You’ve got to choose discipline versus regret because
discipline weights ounces and regret weighs tons.

You see, the regret is an accumulated effect a year
form now or two years from now when you didn’t do the
easy discipline.

Most ballers, and people for that matter, don’t realize
that what they do today, what you do today, will
tremendously effect how you will feel tomorrow.

Don’t be one of them. Don’t be like this.

Make the change you want in your life right now, so you
will be happy with the decision tomorrow.

Regret or discipline, it’s your choice and only your choice.

From now on, when you think of something that you want to do,
or should do, just ask your self this simple question…

” Am I going to not DO this and regret it tomorrow, or do I
have enough discipline right now to make my self happy for
tomorrow?

It’s a simple question but yet so power full.

Start working on yourself and who you are and you’ll finally
start Producing the results you’ve been dreaming about.

Dear baller,

Whether you know it or not, admit it or refuse it,
get it or don’t get it, the mental aspect of your game
is just as or maybe even more important to yourbasketball
success than the actual skill you have or hold.

Without mastering the mental game, your talent
will never fully be displayed or cultivated. It’s just that simple.

This is what I call:

“Ball With Your Heart, Think With Your Mind”

This installment of My ” Untold Basketball Secrets”
newsletter is very important to the development and
improvement of your game.

So Pay attention!

Bring your seat in. ( a little closer)

Buckle up cowboy.

What does “Ball With Your Heart, Think With Your Mind”
mean to you?

Think about it for a second…

Your heart is where your passion, motivation,
commitment and feelings are held.

It’s what gets you out of bed each day.

It’s what pushes you further every moment.

It’s the one part of your body that “won’t” give up.

It’s the feeling you get when you hit a game
winning shot.

It’s the power that runs all the energy in and
out of your body.

But what about your mind.

Well your mind is where all the ” I can’t, I won’t,
there’s no way” dream destroyers lay.

Slaying dreams left and right.

Like a Paid assassin

If you let it, your mind will be the destruction
of your life.

Many people can attest to this.

So what I’m asking you to do is, play with your heart.

Don’t let the clutterness or evilness of your
mind tell you what you can or can’t do.

People have always aid, ” If you have love for the game”
you will be successful.

Let your heart be the leader of your live.

Let it disperse love, commitment, joy, and
happiness all over your life and everything
that you do.

Defeat someone AND you will be a winner

Defeat yourself and you will be a leader.

Defeat someone and you have won the war.

Defeat yourself and there is no war.

Allow your heart to be the guider of your life.

Let it be the savor of bad times, disappointment,
and struggles.

Use it when your mind says, ” I don’t feel like it”

Your heart will guide you to greatness, you
just can’t let your mind guide you to destruction
first.

I was at a College game the other day and It
reminded me How much faster the Pros were
Compared to these ‘ Up And Coming” Boys.

I must have seen 20 different plays where a
defensive player was beaten in transition.

If there is one thing I can tell you, It’s to
never get beat by your man in transition,
Coaches (especially college coaches)
HATE THAT!!!!

In the pros we have a few simple guidelines
to follow when it comes to transition.

If you can’t do it, then you simply don’t play!

Here are the guidelines…

===============
Pro Transition Rules
===============

On offensive, on a fast break after a rebound
or turnover, Each player has a certain amount
of time to get to a certain position on the other
side of the court.

If you are a point guard, you have three (3)
seconds to get to the top of the key on the
other side of the court with the ball.

If you are a wing guy( shooting guard or small
forward) you have three (3) seconds to get to
the opposite wings.

If you are a big man( center or power forward)
you have four (4) seconds to get from rim to rim,
ready to either catch the ball for low post position,
or to get a rebound.

Now I don’t know how fast you are, but these
times are unbelievable.

Here is what I want you to do this week.

Either with your team, teammates, or even
by yourself, go to a court and try to get to
these spots in these times ,

Try as hard as you can, without getting injured
to reach the times I set above.

You will get a feel for JUST how fast the PRO
Game is and how much work is involved.

Here are the times again:

If you are a point guard, you have three (3)
seconds to get to the top of the key on the
other side of the court with the ball.

If you are a wing guy( shooting guard or small
forward) you have three (3) seconds to get to
the opposite wings.

If you are a big man( center or power forward)
you have four (4) seconds to get from rim to rim,
ready to either catch the ball for low post position,
or to get a rebound.

Continue to work on them until you can
achieve these times.

Even ask your coach if they can implement
a drill in practice including the whole team..

Stay Tuned for some more Revealing Pro Secrets.

Until Next time.

PS- How Would these results measure up to the reults you’ve been Getting?

“Gobasketballpro its definitely time saving and the best product out there.
Nothing compares to gobasketballpro, it is jammed packed with knowledge,
not just a bunch of drills put together. ”

“There are drills but no like the ones you see on “magic johnson fundamentals’.
1 thing I do have to say is if your NOT a dedicated baller then the program is
NOT for you, but if your discipline person then you have struck gold.”

“I my self put my time in but it was mostly no results, until I found gobasketballpro.
From that moment it was really a God given gift. I thank for people like Rali that put
their program out on the market and dont just do it for the money.”

Let’s talk about how you get past someone.

While many people believe that you have to be faster
then someone to drive past them it’s ialso about being
smarter and knowing what to do and look for.

We have three crucial parts to a drive.

The first is you want to beat the defender
with your feet, meaning: if you are in the middle of
the court at the three point line and want to drive
right, we want your left foot( opposite foot) to come
over the defenders left foot.

This gives you a huge advantage when trying to get past someone.
So now you have one step over the defender, and
have beaten them with your feet. This is very
important because you are now one step ahead of the
defender and have a clear advantage.

The next crucial point is shoulder to hips.

We want your shoulder to be as low as the defenders hips when
you drive pass them. This is used to be faster,
stronger, and more balanced. If you watch all the
greats in the NBA, they do this as first nature.

Once you have gotten your shoulder as low as the defenders hips you
will be faster, stronger, and more balanced, which will give you
a huge advantage over the player that is guarding you.
Especially if they are trying to be physical with you.

The next and final step is to push the ball forward to give
you separation. All that is left is for you to explode to the basket with
one dribble and focus your eyes on the basket so you
may finish the play.

If you do not push the ball forward, the defender can
reach from behind and most likely poke the ball away
.
Here is what all three things are used for when driving
past someone.

1. Beet them with your feet
- gives you an advantage

2. Shoulder to hips
- gives you power and balance

3. pushing the ball forward
- gives you separation

If you master these three aspects to getting past your defenders,
you will start to get to the basket with ease and become virtually unstoppable.

I have also added a video drill for you to get a more in depth look at how this is
performed and how effective it is.

With so many drills and different ways to practice to improve your game, you could very easily get confused and frustrated trying to compile a perfect practice plan. Some of the main components I have always stressed with all my private basketball clients, whether they are beginners or a NBA Veteran, is to try and train smarter and just harder.

A major component you have to consider when trying to design a Basketball Improvement system is to leverage your time wisely and work on the areas that are most important to you and your game. To use an example, if you are a point guard, your main job is to be able to handle the rock under control and pressure, control the pace of the game, make sure all your teammates are doing their job correctly and be your coaches on the court general.

Why it would be great if you were a great rebounder, it is not something that you should spend alot of time practicing. You should focus the majority of your time practicing and improving the areas that are most required. Try not to get caught up in trying to work on every aspect of basketball, there just is not enough time to work on every thing in one practice.

I have outlined a Practice plan that I use to structure all of my Pro Clients workouts,they are very effective and time efficient. The practice will last approximately 1 hour and will begin with a Sports Warm-Up. Sports Warm Up ( 15 minutes) It is very essential you participate in an active warm up that will prepare you for a vigorous work out ahead. The days of static stretching as a team are long over,due to the fact that you want to prepare your self for moving, running, and explosive burst, you want to prepare your body to handle certain movements and game situations. I normally have all my players run 4 to 5 times around the court at about 50%, and then follow that up with 4 half court layups from both the right and left side.Then, we perform 3 full court layups on each side, right and left. Then we move onto two ball dribbling, full court and back 3 times, two ball alternating dribbling full court and back, 3 times, and then finish with a couple of dynamic warm up stretches that improve the mobility, stability, and flexibility of certain muscle groups.

Basketball conditioning ( 10 minutes)

I have always like jumping right into some conditioning drills as my players perform better when we get conditioning done at the beginning of practice.Many practices, the exercise or drills will change and vary, but the principles remain the same. I usually compile 6 conditioning drills that we will perform only once, but at 100% intensity. I will then give them a 30-45 second break and then move onto the next conditioning drill.We do not perform the drills for certain amount of reps, but rather for a duration of time. Usually lasting 30-45 seconds. Hers is a sample Conditioning workout:

Exercise # 1 suicide ( 30 seconds)

Rest(45seconds)

Exercise # 2 ( machine guns while dribbling a basketball) 30 seconds

Rest (45 seconds)

Exercise # 3 Basketball Pushups with a basketball( 20 seconds on each side)

Rest(45 seconds)

Exercise #4 Full court Defensive slides( 35 seconds)

Rest ( 45 seconds)

Exercise # 5 Net or rim touches ( 30 seconds)

Rest ( 45 Seconds)

Exercise # 6 Push Up Holds ( 45 seconds)

Rest Until 10 minutes is up

As you can see, if you structure your workouts and practices correctly, you can get a very effective practice in a short period of time. The next 10 minutes will solely focus on shooting. I have a simple rule when trying to improve your shooting. Think of the 5 most common shots and area that you are most likely to shoot in a game and work on those 5 shots the most. It is almost a waste of time if you are a center trying to improve your 3 point shooting. Once you have figured out your 5 most common shots, spend 2 minutes each working on them and getting up as many shots as you can in those 2 minutes from those specific spots. You will be surprised when you start working on only a couple of shoots how much more you will improve compared to trying to shoot from every where. After you finish working on your shooting, you will then dedicate the next 10 minutes on ball handling. There are millions of drills that will improve your ball handling skills and you can pick which ever ones you like, but follow these rules when you do so.

1. Try not to ever look down at the ball.

2. Try your hardest not to mess up.

3. Involve as much running and movement as you can.

4.When you have mastered a drill, do not continue to do the same drill,

move on to a more challenging drill.

5. Try to incorporate multitasking drills as much as possible, like 2 ball dribbling,

the more you can do at the same time the better.

Follow those rules and you will see a dramatic improvement in your over all game.

Now that you have gotten past those stations, it is time now to move on to the most important aspect of the practice. The last 15 minutes will solely be committed to working on your niche, the most important component of your game.

What Is Your Niche?

This is by far the most over looked aspect in basketball. A niche is what you do best, it is the one thing that you do great, the thing that separates you form the baller next to you. The One thing you can provide the team, and what the coach can count on you for.Without a Niche, you have no identity on the court. If you look at all the Kings in the NBA, you will easily discover their Niche.

Steve Nash- passing

Ben Wallace- Rebounding

Dwayne Wade- attacking the basket

Mike Miller- Shooting

Kobe - Scoring

And the list goes on….

Spend the last 15 minutes working and mastering your niche. Whatever it is, whether it be shooting, rebounding, ball handling, defense, scoring, driving to the basket, 3 point shooting, ect… Work on mastering and improving it. I guarantee you that if you take this outline and use it to structure your workouts and practices, you will have more improvement in a couple of weeks then you probably have had your whole career. Improving your game is easy when you do it the right way.
