How To Improve Your Basketball Skills
» Added July 3, 2008 by gobasketballpro
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 said, ” If you have love for the game” you will be successful. Let your heart be the leader of your life. 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.
