August 2, 2020 - Zoom Meeting Replacement Presentation
Hey Athletes... Stay Tune Please...
I have been working everyday to get us registered and organized with BBC and VBC. We want to get started on the courts and on our field next week; so, there is lots to do in order for that to happen. In the meantime, workout, train, journal, set goals, knock off those goals and dream! Dream Big! Even during the heat, train, play sports and keep active. Choose the early morning or evening to do a workout or play sport. Yes, stay cool and have fun during the day, but don’t forget to work on that “Magic.”
I will do a video post by Friday so check back on this Blog Friday morning, and I hope everyone can make Sunday’s meeting at 8 PM. We will discuss registration with BBC and hopefully VBC, as well as our start up for next Thursday.
Enjoy the heat, the lake and your time at whatever you are doing this summer.
JULY 20, 2020 - REMINDERS + INSPIRATION, INSIGHT, & WORKOUTS
Below is part of Steve Nash’s speech directed to today’s youth, the next generation, during his Hall of Fame Induction. Powerful. Insightful. Purposeful. Please listen to Steve’s advice to the youth of today at the end of his speech. Great advice and inspiration! You can see Steve’s full Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in the Video below. If you want to listen to Steve present his words of wisdom to the youth of today, click on the video below and scroll to 19:38. Watch the video from that point to the end. Enjoy.
“Nash’s most fond memory in the game of basketball didn’t come in the NBA. It was playing for Canada at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.”
Thanks for all who attended the Zoom meeting tonight. Another good turnout.
REMINDER: Athletes, please check the Tab above - Salmon Arm Summer Athletic Prep Program - weekly for updates. I have posted several videos for you to watch and follow. Please watch the first video on “Magic.” Tim Kight (founder of Focus 3) compares the magic that a magician is able to create to the “magic” that anyone can create in any part of one’s life. He explains how anyone can create “Magic” in any area of life, as long as the individual has the discipline “to do the work, to create the mechanics in order to execute the skill.”
One aspect of our Summer Program is to help and guide our athletes in the pursuit of “Magic” in athletics. As one trains, works out, practices and prepares for volleyball and basketball, and participates in a number of other activities, one’s physical literacy will undoubtedly improve. As one’s physical literacy improves, the individual will gain confidence and help build self-esteem. As an athlete’s confidence and self-esteem improves, they are more likely to develop the behaviours that lead to the Habits of “doing the work, in order to create the mechanics, that allows one to execute the skills.” Athletes who develop confidence are more likely to try different sports and activities.
Watch the second video of the 12 year old girl dribbling. The young athlete shows how “Magic” in the bounce can be created. She didn’t begin to dribble like she does in the video; instead, the young athlete has obviously put countless hours into her craft. As a result, she is “magical” with her dribbling. Anyone can do it. They just have to put in the time and work, and realize that a lot of failure will occur before the “Magic” will take place.
Be patient. Have fun. Do the work. Everyone progresses at their own pace.
REMINDER: Keep a daily workout journal.
1. What went well?
2. What do I need to work on?
3. How can I help others?
ADD TO YOUR JOURNAL ... Goals - Dreams - Aspirations
Habit #2: Begin With the End in Mind ... What does your end look like? Where do you want to be when ... Grade 7 or 8 is over, when you complete high school, when you are in your 20’s or 30’s, etc...? Choose the your “End” that you want to focus on and describe it. What does is look like? How are you going to get there? Set goals, write them down, and share your goals with someone you trust to start. Then, “Do the Work.”
REMINDER:
Keep track of your workouts. Record number of shot attempts and makes... how long your dribble workout takes and what dribbling drills you do. How many forearm passes or volleys you do... record your touches and the duration of your workout.
Keep your workouts short and focused... 30 minutes of Bball and 30 minutes of Vball, or 20 and 20.
Have fun and enjoy. Contact me if you have questions... synergybasketball2014@gmail.com.
PS...Set your workouts for basketball and volleyball 3 days per week each. Set a time limit of 20 - 30 minutes for each. You don’t have to do the whole dribbling workout. For the Shooting workout in Basketball, complete 5 shots for each drill/skill for a total of 100 shots in the workout. Get in the Habit of making a schedule and sticking to the schedule. Workout times can always be increased later. The Process requires patience, perseverance, and resilience.
