			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the worst things you can do when it come to achieving your Basketball goals is failing to Set them and knowing exactly what you want. Let me explain: </p>
<p>IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SYTEMIZED, Over Proven BLUEPRINT for setting your goals and allowing yourself to achieve them, you are dead in the water (I mean It!)<br />
Keep this in mind&#8230; &#8220;Failing to plan is planning to Fail&#8221; Read That Again:<br />
&#8220;Failing to plan is planning to Fail.&#8221; Do you Understand what that means? </p>
<p>It means if you do not have a plan, you&#8217;re going to fail! You should, and must have a plan for your workouts, your goals, getting exposure, developing your game, and an action plan. If you don&#8217;t have ALL of these, you are making a huge deadly mistake! </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get something straight, this is really important so stop what you&#8217;re doing and pay attention!<br />
You have to Dress and act the part that you want, not the part that you have! Read That Again:<br />
You have to Dress and act the part that you want, not the part that you have! If you want to become ALL-STAR baller in the pros, you have to dress and act like one&#8230; </p>
<p>Well Rali, how do I do that? I&#8217;m Glad you asked. You see, All-STAR ballers in the pros don&#8217;t let things like relationships; family, Friends, and obstacles get in their way&#8230; They do not let all these little things get in the way of their Dream, and that is what makes them amazing! </p>
<p>Here are some things that ALL-STAR Ballers Do: </p>
<p>-They dedicate their whole life to basketball </p>
<p>-They commit themselves to the game. </p>
<p>-They sacrifice certain things like hanging out with friends, significant others, family members to practice and focus on their game. </p>
<p>- They practice when they are tired and feeling lazy. </p>
<p>-They eat proper nutrition, get plenty of sleep and do not poison their body with things like alcohol and drugs. </p>
<p>-They will do whatever it takes to be the best&#8230; No matter what! </p>
<p>-They believe that they can be the best, no matter how good or great the competition is! </p>
<p>And the list goes on and on&#8230; </p>
<p>Do you get my drift? These are just a few of the things that you are going to have to start doing right now if you even want to think about being an NBA-All-star. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I want you do right NOW! Not in five minutes after you eat, or not in 2 minutes after you get done reading this. Go get a piece of paper and something to write with&#8230; You got it? Good, let&#8217;s continue. </p>
<p>I want you to title the piece of paper: &#8220;What I will do To Achieve My Basketball Goals&#8221; Then I want you to write down your basketball goals, very detailed, where you want to play, what position, how many points, assists, boards you will average.<br />
Exactly what you want to achieve as precise as you can get. How many games will you win? Championships etc&#8230; </p>
<p>Right underneath your goals I want you to write down all the things you are going to do to achieve those goals.<br />
Just like all the things The NBA ALL-STARS do. Write down all the things that you think another baller that failed to achieve their goals would not do (this is powerful) If you do all the things that basketball failures would not do, you&#8217;re going to be in great shape. If you think this exercise is silly, Don&#8217;t! This is exactly what<br />
I do with Some of the amazing pro ballers I work with, and it works. </p>
<p>The last part of this Exercise is to put this up where ever you spend the most time at, your kitchen, room, computer desk, car, etc&#8230;<br />
Where ever your going to see it the most, the better. This will allow you to keep your head focused and remember what your goals are<br />
and all the things that you are committed to doing to achieve those goals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Hooper,</p>
<p>This message is so important to the success of your game,<br />
I want you to stop whatever it is your doing, turn off the<br />
T.V. , the back round music, and tone out any background noise.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s that important.</p>
<p>Jordan<br />
Kobe<br />
Iverson<br />
Lebron<br />
Garnett<br />
Magic<br />
Kareem</p>
<p>And the never ending list of previous, and current,<br />
all-stars all have at least one MAJOR &#8216;Success Habit&#8217;<br />
in common,(probably a lot more).</p>
<p>What is it?</p>
<p>Glad you asked.</p>
<p>They all believed before they got.</p>
<p>They all perceived before they held.</p>
<p>They all started before they where ready.</p>
<p>They all pushed when they thought of stopping.</p>
<p>They all defeated themselves before they ever won a game.</p>
<p>What about you?</p>
<p>If your in a pot hole, seemingly struggling to crawl out,<br />
understand what you do today, what you do right now,will<br />
determine your future.</p>
<p>The ballers that try to improve their game<br />
never get anywhere.</p>
<p>The ballers that do improve their game always<br />
see and experience MASSIVE growth and improvement.</p>
<p>Which one are you?</p>
<p>Stop thinking about failure and defeat and START<br />
embracing success and victory.</p>
<p>Think about the future, about your goals, your dreams,<br />
and how THRILLED your going to feel when you reach<br />
them. Let go of the past.</p>
<p>Your best days are ahead of you. Your brightest days<br />
are ahead of you.</p>
<p>Your clearest, most successfully days are ahead of you.</p>
<p>They can&#8217;t wait to see you.</p>
<p>Can you see them?</p>
<p>Hear them cheer you on.</p>
<p>See them right now.</p>
<p>You where born to be great.</p>
<p>But you already know that!</p>
<p>Do you hear all of the individuals reading this<br />
right now applauding you for not giving up?</p>
<p>Hear them Roar and Cheer.</p>
<p>Here is a concept I want you to allow to become<br />
apart of your body, your bloodstream, your mental file.</p>
<p>&#8221; Nothing Great Ever Comes Without Stretching Your Self&#8221;</p>
<p>Read That Again:</p>
<p>&#8221; Nothing Great Ever Comes Without Stretching Your Self&#8221;</p>
<p>I believe in you. They Believe In You. We believe in You.</p>
<p>All that is left is for you to believe in yourself.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Your # 1 Fan<br />

<p>Success or failure.</p>

<p>They are both your choice and responsibility.</p>
<p>They are!</p>
<p>Hear me loud and clear on this one.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got to choose discipline versus regret because<br />
discipline weights ounces and regret weighs tons.</p>
<p>You see, the regret is an accumulated effect a year<br />
form now or two years from now when you didn&#8217;t do the<br />
easy discipline.</p>
<p>Most ballers, and people for that matter, don&#8217;t realize<br />
that what they do today, what you do today, will<br />
tremendously effect how you will feel tomorrow.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be one of them. Don&#8217;t be like this.</p>
<p>Make the change you want in your life right now, so you<br />
will be happy with the decision tomorrow.</p>
<p>Regret or discipline, it&#8217;s your choice and only your choice.</p>
<p>From now on, when you think of something that you want to do,<br />
or should do, just ask your self this simple question&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8221; Am I going to not DO this and regret it tomorrow, or do I<br />
have enough discipline right now to make my self happy for<br />
tomorrow?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a simple question but yet so power full.</p>
<p>Start working on yourself and who you are and you&#8217;ll finally<br />
start Producing the results you&#8217;ve been dreaming about.</p>
<p>Your Coach,<br />
Rali Todd<br />
Dedicated to turning your hoop dreams into reality<br />
(NO MATTER WHAT!)</p>
<p>PS- Grabbing <a href="http://www.gobasketballpro.com/">www.GoBasketballPro.com</a> today will make the next<br />
time you step on the basketball court an easy domination.<br />
That&#8217;s what happens when your completely prepared to produce<br />
the results you really want before you get it.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t try and guess how to come up with a strategy to becoming<br />
a All-star high light reel. That&#8217;s what your competition does,<br />
your better than that.</p>
<p>For less than 100 clams you can guarantee ultra basketball<br />
success today, Guaranteed!</p>
<p>-&gt; The hard part has already been done for you in<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To do this, you not only need to be quick but you also need several more things.</p>
<p>Experience. This shouldn&#8217;t be here first but I typed it so it happened:). Experience comes with time and practice. When your experience is at a high level you&#8217;ll be able to anticipate well. Anticipation is crucial in your defensive play. And by that I mean your opponents as well as your teammates.</p>
<p>Having the right trained muscles really helps because you can take a look at players like Bruce Bowen for example. His foot work is amazing. He is so quick when he moves with his defensive stance. He is able to block his view, block his shot, ball pressure him with the other hand, anticipate his moves. I mean, you can probably get better just by watching him play. Here is good clip from youtube to get started ..<br />
http://youtube.com/watch?v=S2A9iGhatcc</p>
<p>Another thing is when you&#8217;re guarding someone, keep your focus, both on the ball and your man. As well as your opponent&#8217;s teammate to whom he can pass the ball to. Just be aware of these stuff and try to focus on these. It might slow you down at first but that&#8217;s normal. You&#8217;re learning and you&#8217;re getting better.</p>
<p>Remember, when you&#8217;re struggling with the game of basketball (probably when playing against someone who is better than you) is when you&#8217;re actually getting better. That&#8217;s the way in basketball and that&#8217;s the way with life. It&#8217;s just a fact, so embrace instead of fight it.</p>
<p>I have a lot of drills and tips on my website (for becoming a better defender as well). It&#8217;s all free so you can check it out if you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You need to make sure that your players always get back on <a href="http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/pr/mandefense.html">basketball defense</a>. If the players do not get back and set, it eliminates all the hard work you spent on teaching defense. Teams are going to try to run on you and score before your defense gets set. </p>
<p>Here is one  <a href="http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/pr/mandefense.html">basketball defense drill</a> you can use: </p>
<p><strong>Whistle Drill </strong></p>
<p>1. Divide your squad into teams of five. The teams should be scrimmaging like normal. </p>
<p>2. When the coach blows the whistle, the offensive player with the ball will set the ball down. This will be treated as a turnover, and the offense will have to hustle back to play defense. The defense should <a href="http://www.playphone.com/">sprint</a> back to the lane and locate the man they are guarding. </p>
<p>3. The defender closest to the ball will pick it up and get it to the point guard. The point guard will then push the ball up the court and try to get a quick fast break basket. </p>
<p>4. If a basket is scored, play it like a regular game. If not, set up the offense and repeat the first three steps. </p>
<p><strong>Variety</strong> - Make sure to vary who has possession of the ball and the location of the ball when blowing the whistle. </p>
<p><strong><br />
Communication</strong> - Your players should always be talking when getting back on defense. “I got him.” “I got Jimmy.” To make sure they communicate, you can also mix it up by telling them that they have to guard somebody different every time you blow the whistle. This will force them to talk! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear baller,</p>
<p>Whether you know it or not, admit it or refuse it,<br />
get it or don&#8217;t get it, the mental aspect of your game<br />
is just as or maybe even more important to yourbasketball<br />
success than the actual skill you have or hold.</p>
<p>Without mastering the mental game, your talent<br />
will never fully be displayed or cultivated. It&#8217;s just that simple.</p>
<p>This is what I call:</p>
<p>&#8220;Ball With Your Heart, Think With Your Mind&#8221;</p>
<p>This installment of My &#8221; Untold Basketball Secrets&#8221;<br />
newsletter is very important to the development and<br />
improvement of your game.</p>
<p>So Pay attention!</p>
<p>Bring your seat in. ( a little closer)</p>
<p>Buckle up cowboy.</p>
<p>What does &#8220;Ball With Your Heart, Think With Your Mind&#8221;<br />
mean to you?</p>
<p>Think about it for a second&#8230;</p>
<p>Your heart is where your passion, motivation,<br />
commitment and feelings are held.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s what gets you out of bed each day.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s what pushes you further every moment.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the one part of your body that &#8220;won&#8217;t&#8221; give up.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the feeling you get when you hit a game<br />
winning shot.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the power that runs all the energy in and<br />
out of your body.</p>
<p>But what about your mind.</p>
<p>Well your mind is where all the &#8221; I can&#8217;t, I won&#8217;t,<br />
there&#8217;s no way&#8221; dream destroyers lay.</p>
<p>Slaying dreams left and right.</p>
<p>Like a Paid assassin</p>
<p>If you let it, your mind will be the destruction<br />
of your life.</p>
<p>Many people can attest to this.</p>
<p>So what I&#8217;m asking you to do is, play with your heart.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let the clutterness or evilness of your<br />
mind tell you what you can or can&#8217;t do.</p>
<p>People have always aid, &#8221; If you have love for the game&#8221;<br />
you will be successful.</p>
<p>Let your heart be the leader of your live.</p>
<p>Let it disperse love, commitment, joy, and<br />
happiness all over your life and everything<br />
that you do.</p>
<p>Defeat someone AND you will be a winner</p>
<p>Defeat yourself and you will be a leader.</p>
<p>Defeat someone and you have won the war.</p>
<p>Defeat yourself and there is no war.</p>
<p>Allow your heart to be the guider of your life.</p>
<p>Let it be the savor of bad times, disappointment,<br />
and struggles.</p>
<p>Use it when your mind says, &#8221; I don&#8217;t feel like it&#8221;</p>
<p>Your heart will guide you to greatness, you<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was at a College game the other day and It<br />
reminded me How much faster the Pros were<br />
Compared to these &#8216; Up And Coming&#8221; Boys. </p>
<p>I must have seen 20 different plays where a<br />
defensive player was beaten in transition. </p>
<p>If there is one thing I can tell you, It&#8217;s to<br />
never get beat by your man in transition,<br />
Coaches (especially college coaches)<br />
HATE THAT!!!! </p>
<p>In the pros we have a few simple guidelines<br />
to follow when it comes to transition.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t do it, then you simply don&#8217;t play! </p>
<p>Here are the guidelines&#8230; </p>
<p>===============<br />
Pro Transition Rules<br />
=============== </p>
<p>On offensive, on a fast break after a rebound<br />
or turnover, Each player has a certain amount<br />
of time to get to a certain position on the other<br />
side of the court.</p>
<p>If you are a point guard, you have three (3)<br />
seconds to get to the top of the key on the<br />
other side of the court with the ball.</p>
<p>If you are a wing guy( shooting guard or small<br />
forward) you have three (3) seconds to get to<br />
the opposite wings.</p>
<p>If you are a big man( center or power forward)<br />
you have four (4) seconds to get from rim to rim,<br />
ready to either catch the ball for low post position,<br />
or to get a rebound. </p>
<p>Now I don&#8217;t know how fast you are, but these<br />
times are unbelievable. </p>
<p>Here is what I want you to do this week.</p>
<p>Either with your team, teammates, or even<br />
by yourself, go to a court and try to get to<br />
these spots in these times , </p>
<p>Try as hard as you can, without getting injured<br />
to reach the times I set above. </p>
<p>You will get a feel for  JUST how fast the PRO<br />
Game is and how much work is involved. </p>
<p>Here are the times again: </p>
<p>If you are a point guard, you have three (3)<br />
seconds to get to the top of the key on the<br />
other side of the court with the ball.</p>
<p>If you are a wing guy( shooting guard or small<br />
forward) you have three (3) seconds to get to<br />
the opposite wings.</p>
<p>If you are a big man( center or power forward)<br />
you have four (4) seconds to get from rim to rim,<br />
ready to either catch the ball for low post position,<br />
or to get a rebound. </p>
<p>Continue to work on them until you can<br />
achieve these times.</p>
<p>Even ask your coach if they can implement<br />
a drill in practice including the whole team.. </p>
<p>Stay Tuned for some more Revealing Pro Secrets. </p>
<p>Until Next time. </p>

<p>PS- How Would these results measure up to the reults you&#8217;ve been Getting?</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.gobasketballpro.com">Gobasketballpro</a> its definitely time saving and the best product out there.<br />
Nothing compares to gobasketballpro, it is jammed packed with knowledge,<br />
not just a bunch of drills put together. &#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There are drills but no like the ones you see on &#8220;magic johnson fundamentals&#8217;.<br />
1 thing I do have to say is if your NOT a dedicated baller then the program is<br />
NOT for you, but if your discipline person then you have struck gold.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I my self put my time in but it was mostly no results, until I found  gobasketballpro.<br />
From that moment it was really a God given gift. I thank for people like Rali that put<br />
their program out on the market and dont just do it for the money.&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Basketball conditioning ( 10 minutes)</p>
<p>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:</p>
<p>Exercise # 1 suicide ( 30 seconds)</p>
<p>Rest(45seconds)</p>
<p>Exercise # 2 ( machine guns while dribbling a basketball) 30 seconds</p>
<p>Rest (45 seconds)</p>
<p>Exercise # 3 Basketball Pushups with a basketball( 20 seconds on each side)</p>
<p>Rest(45 seconds)</p>
<p>Exercise #4 Full court Defensive slides( 35 seconds)</p>
<p>Rest ( 45 seconds)</p>
<p>Exercise # 5 Net or rim touches ( 30 seconds)</p>
<p>Rest ( 45 Seconds)</p>
<p>Exercise # 6 Push Up Holds ( 45 seconds)</p>
<p>Rest Until 10 minutes is up</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>1. Try not to ever look down at the ball.</p>
<p>2. Try your hardest not to mess up.</p>
<p>3. Involve as much running and movement as you can.</p>
<p>4.When you have mastered a drill, do not continue to do the same drill,</p>
<p>move on to a more challenging drill.</p>
<p>5. Try to incorporate multitasking drills as much as possible, like 2 ball dribbling,</p>
<p>the more you can do at the same time the better.</p>
<p>Follow those rules and you will see a dramatic improvement in your over all game.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What Is Your Niche?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Steve Nash- passing</p>
<p>Ben Wallace- Rebounding</p>
<p>Dwayne Wade- attacking the basket</p>
<p>Mike Miller- Shooting</p>
<p>Kobe - Scoring</p>
<p>And the list goes on&#8230;.</p>
<p>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&#8230; 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What All-Star Ballers Focus On.</p>
<p>Have you ever wondered what seperates the Star From the Bumbs, The &#8220;talk Of the town &#8221; Studs form the bench warmers?</p>
<p>Well if yu haven&#8217;t noticed, there is  a big difference between the Real Ballers and the wanabees.</p>
<p>they act different, they train differemt, and more important, they thin differently.</p>
<p>How?<br />
I&#8217;m Glad you asked!</p>
<p>I wish.</p>
<p>Oh, I wish I got this point years ago when I was<br />
floundering in the ocean of &#8216;baller scatteredness&#8217;.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t. I can&#8217;t go back, but now I use IT and I want you<br />
to.</p>
<p>The All-Stars Ballers are different than most Hoopers.</p>
<p>***Different in the way they spend their TIME.</p>
<p>You see, if every baller did the same things and spent their time the same way they would all be the same. But that is definately not the case. There are alot of Average ballers and very few Basketball kIngs. Just take a look at the NBA. How many basketball players are in the league, and how many ballers want to be in the league. There is a reason  why there are only a select few thata are actually in the Pros and there are literarly millions of other ballers that wish they were int he league.</p>
<p>Follow me here.</p>
<p>I am very good at very few things. I have to admit that. There is more I&#8217;m not good at then I&#8217;m good at. I&#8217;m not alone.<br />
Take a look at Some of the most dominate players in the pros and see for yourself exactly what I&#8217; am talking about.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go down a short list.</p>
<p>Steve Nash = Passing<br />
Iverson = Driving to the bucket<br />
Raja bell = Defense<br />
Jason Jidd = Play Making<br />
Kyle Corver = Shooting Long Bombs<br />
Tim Duncan = Post Domination<br />
Kobe Bryant = Destroying his competition</p>
<p>Have you noticed what made these Ballers GREAT was being good at 1-3 things?</p>
<p>Unbeliveable isn&#8217;t it?<br />
I can gurantee you that those Basketball Payers are not good at much more things they&#8217;re good at. Like Shaq For example.</p>
<p>Yes he is the most unstopable force basketball has ever seen. But why does he dominate?<br />
Is it because his ball handiling skills, or his lethal long range distance, or is it because he is automatic from the free throw line?</p>
<p>No. No. And No!<br />
It&#8217;s because he is great at dominating the paint. That&#8217;s It!</p>
<p>Successful Ballers have identified &#8217;something&#8217; the masses haven&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Not only have they &#8216;found&#8217; it, they&#8217;ve cultivated it.</p>
<p>They&#8217;ve developed it.</p>
<p>Dominating the hardwood  and becoming an envied Star has been the result.</p>
<p>Here is the Key Secret to remember:</p>
<p>The Studs Spend their time utilizing and  MAXIMIZING their strengths, not<br />
maximizing their weaknesses.</p>
<p>The Stars and GREAT spend 80% of their time in their<br />
&#8217;strength zone&#8217;. If you spend 80% of your time in an area that you were<br />
strong in and enjoyed, how Great would your results<br />
be?</p>
<p>Exactly, that&#8217;s my point.</p>
<p>Great.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need 10 strengths to dominate the court You need<br />
1-3. That&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>Ask yourself:</p>
<p>If I was going to spend 5% more time in areas I&#8217;m good at,<br />
what actions can I take now? I believe in you. I believe your strengths can make a huge difference in Your Results.</p>
<p>Are you ready to tap into them, invest more time there, and<br />
go for what you want?</p>
<p>I thought so.</p>
<p>Push yourself today. You&#8217;d be amazed at the gallons of<br />
power hidden inside you. Truly amazed.</p>
<p>Your Coach,<br />
Rali Todd<br />
<a href="http://www.gobasketballpro.com">www.gobasketballpro.com </a></p>
<p>Remember</p>
<p>Training Hurts&#8230;<br />
Sitting on the Bench Hurts More!

<p>It’s simple and It’s Basic, your number # 1 secret of success will always be knowing your “Niche” and using it to separate yourself form every other Baller out there…</p>
<p>This is the most over-looked art of figuring out what your coach really needs and developing an Identity on the court.</p>
<p>What is a Niche?</p>
<p>I’m Glad you asked!</p>
<p> Your niche is how you are different from everyone else. It is the one aspect that you are great at, not good at, but great at.</p>
<p>It is the one thing that will get you on a team, or get you cut off of a team.</p>
<p>This should be common sense for all Ballers, and yet it will be your secret weapon. Because most of your competition will forever ignore the fundamentals of Defining a Niche, or screw it up (since they&#8217;ve never bothered to pay attention to the lessons).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s relatively easy to perform a play or move that gets a coach to say “Hey, that ballers pretty good”. But that doesn&#8217;t mean they will pick you to be on their team or pursue you to play for them.</p>
<p>No.  You want your prospect Coach to say &#8212; after experiencing watching you play &#8212; &#8220;Wow! That’s Exactly what I need on my team, How do I get them to consider playing for me?&#8221;</p>
<p>    But getting a coach to be Jaw Dropped and begging you to play for them is a much more complex process.  You don&#8217;t have to understand the biology or chemistry that goes on&#8230; but you DO have to realize that dominating the hardwood requires a lot of knowledge and a little skill.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not difficult.  But it&#8217;s not something most people naturally learn to do. </p>
<p>There are a few key secrets to Identifying A Niche that &#8212; once you master them &#8212; will guarantee that EVERY Time you step on the court every coach and player will be astonished and you will start leaving your  dominating trail of legacy along the way. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s how the greats are formed. First by identifying their niche and then by working to master their niche. Most Ballers Play From their Heels… meaning they blow it when it comes to Discovering what aspect of the game they are dominate at. They stumble along the way guessing how to develop their game and normally find them selves in a dark hole with no way to get out.<br />
     The Baller Graveyard is crammed with great talented ballers that failed to identify and work on their niche.<br />
     However, when you master the basics of Developing a Niche and continually working to master your niche, you  will start to see and feel the benefits that come with being a “unique”  Hot-Ticket ball player.<br />
     Whatever results you&#8217;re getting will instantly be multiplied many times, as soon as you apply the secrets of Niche Discovering</p>
<p>If you look at any of the Dominating Forces in the pros you will find that it is easy to identify their niche:<br />
Reggie Miller- Shooting<br />
Bruce Bowen- Defense<br />
Steven Nash- passing and play making<br />
Tracy Mcgrady- Scoring<br />
Shaq- Post Dominating<br />
Ben Wallace- Rebounding</p>
<p>And the list goes on and on…</p>
<p>They discovered their Niche and developed a plan to master it, not just to be good at it but to be great at it.</p>
<p>So how do you figure out what’s your Gold key Niche?</p>
<p>Easy, ask yourself what do you think you are the best at, what important aspect of basketball do you always do well, or tend to be better then others at.</p>
<p>It would also be a great idea if you asked your coach, parents, teammates and other players that do not personally know you but have seen you play before.</p>
<p>It is also very important to receive honest opinions, and you should not ask someone you believe who falsely tell you something just to, please you, get the truth.</p>
<p>If you have a identified niche you will be that much more dominate and coaches would much rather recruit a player that performs a certain task very well like passing then trying to recruit a player that they will have to develop those certain skill they are looking for.</p>
<p>Now once you have identified your niche, you have found a pot of gold, an you will be 100 steps ahead of your competition.</p>
<p>You see, if you do not have a niche, and really do not understand what kind of a player you are or what you do very well, you will just confuse all the coaches and recruits that are interested in you.</p>
<p>The most common mistake that I have seen with lack of niche identification normally happens with guards…</p>
<p>You know what I am talking about, that guard that you see but you really do not know if he is  a point guard or a shooting guard, it’s like he is stuck in the middle.</p>
<p>And if you are stuck in the middle, you are not going any where.</p>
<p>Allen Iverson is a perfect example, he was having problems figuring out what kind of player he was, and his game struggled, but once he committed to being a two guard, his game flourished and he become an NBA ALL-STAR.</p>
<p>So determine your niche and commit to mastering it, whatever it is, it might be scoring, shooting, rebounding, defense, passing, play making or even teammate support…</p>
<p>If you do not have a niche, get one or you will never get to the next level.</p>
