LAST WEEK’S POST: JULY 12, 2020
Thanks for all who attended the Zoom meeting tonight. Good turnout.
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. And as one’s physical literacy improves, an individual will gain confidence. As an athlete’s confidence 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.”
Watch the second video of the 12 year old girl dribbling. The young athlete shows how “Magic” in the bounce can be created. She did 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?
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.
