THE THREE P's

A very wise man told me this week that there are three "P's" which you always have to keep in your mind during a tryout...

1. PRESENT!!!

-during a tryout there is no past or future...."oooh, i just missed the previous 4 shots....hopefully i'll hit the next ones..."....it doesn't matter if you didn't hit your last 4 shots because you can't do nothing about it....so forget it! the same is with the future. if you think about what happens if you miss, you will miss!...so think about NOW!

2.POSITIVE!!!

-you missed the last 4 shots and you are getting frustrated and negative...you can't show your strength....so, stay POSITIVE!!!...."it don't matter if i didn't hit my last 4 shots, i will hit THIS one!"....POSITIVE!

3.PERFORMANCE!!!

-you stay POSITIVE and you are thinking about NOW, you can focus on your PERFORMANCE!!! think about your ball-release, your defensive-form, etc.

I really believe in these three P's and try to keep them in my mind! 

Thank you!!!
