How To Guarantee Your Basketball Skills And Talent

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

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:

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!)
Keep this in mind… “Failing to plan is planning to Fail” Read That Again:
“Failing to plan is planning to Fail.” Do you Understand what that means?

It means if you do not have a plan, you’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’t have ALL of these, you are making a huge deadly mistake!

Let’s get something straight, this is really important so stop what you’re doing and pay attention!
You have to Dress and act the part that you want, not the part that you have! Read That Again:
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…

Well Rali, how do I do that? I’m Glad you asked. You see, All-STAR ballers in the pros don’t let things like relationships; family, Friends, and obstacles get in their way… They do not let all these little things get in the way of their Dream, and that is what makes them amazing!

Here are some things that ALL-STAR Ballers Do:

-They dedicate their whole life to basketball

-They commit themselves to the game.

-They sacrifice certain things like hanging out with friends, significant others, family members to practice and focus on their game.

- They practice when they are tired and feeling lazy.

-They eat proper nutrition, get plenty of sleep and do not poison their body with things like alcohol and drugs.

-They will do whatever it takes to be the best… No matter what!

-They believe that they can be the best, no matter how good or great the competition is!

And the list goes on and on…

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.

Here’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… You got it? Good, let’s continue.

I want you to title the piece of paper: “What I will do To Achieve My Basketball Goals” 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.
Exactly what you want to achieve as precise as you can get. How many games will you win? Championships etc…

Right underneath your goals I want you to write down all the things you are going to do to achieve those goals.
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’re going to be in great shape. If you think this exercise is silly, Don’t! This is exactly what
I do with Some of the amazing pro ballers I work with, and it works.

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…
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
and all the things that you are committed to doing to achieve those goals.

The Basketball Trick You’ll Swear By All Summer

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Dear Hooper,

This message is so important to the success of your game,
I want you to stop whatever it is your doing, turn off the
T.V. , the back round music, and tone out any background noise.

It’s that important.

Jordan
Kobe
Iverson
Lebron
Garnett
Magic
Kareem

And the never ending list of previous, and current,
all-stars all have at least one MAJOR ‘Success Habit’
in common,(probably a lot more).

What is it?

Glad you asked.

They all believed before they got.

They all perceived before they held.

They all started before they where ready.

They all pushed when they thought of stopping.

They all defeated themselves before they ever won a game.

What about you?

If your in a pot hole, seemingly struggling to crawl out,
understand what you do today, what you do right now,will
determine your future.

The ballers that try to improve their game
never get anywhere.

The ballers that do improve their game always
see and experience MASSIVE growth and improvement.

Which one are you?

Stop thinking about failure and defeat and START
embracing success and victory.

Think about the future, about your goals, your dreams,
and how THRILLED your going to feel when you reach
them. Let go of the past.

Your best days are ahead of you. Your brightest days
are ahead of you.

Your clearest, most successfully days are ahead of you.

They can’t wait to see you.

Can you see them?

Hear them cheer you on.

See them right now.

You where born to be great.

But you already know that!

Do you hear all of the individuals reading this
right now applauding you for not giving up?

Hear them Roar and Cheer.

Here is a concept I want you to allow to become
apart of your body, your bloodstream, your mental file.

” Nothing Great Ever Comes Without Stretching Your Self”

Read That Again:

” Nothing Great Ever Comes Without Stretching Your Self”

I believe in you. They Believe In You. We believe in You.

All that is left is for you to believe in yourself.

That’s it!

The Anatomy Of Basketball Success And Failure

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Brought To You By
www.GoBasketballPro.com

Before I spoon feed you the key to ‘Real Life’
Basketball success and or failure, please be
prepared to forward this ‘jammed packed’ email
to anyone you know that might need a little help
and a help full kick in the butt.

They will thank you and so will I.

Let’s get moving.

Success or failure.

Discipline or Regret.

They are both your choice and responsibility.

They are!

Hear me loud and clear on this one.

You’ve got to choose discipline versus regret because
discipline weights ounces and regret weighs tons.

You see, the regret is an accumulated effect a year
form now or two years from now when you didn’t do the
easy discipline.

Most ballers, and people for that matter, don’t realize
that what they do today, what you do today, will
tremendously effect how you will feel tomorrow.

Don’t be one of them. Don’t be like this.

Make the change you want in your life right now, so you
will be happy with the decision tomorrow.

Regret or discipline, it’s your choice and only your choice.

From now on, when you think of something that you want to do,
or should do, just ask your self this simple question…

” Am I going to not DO this and regret it tomorrow, or do I
have enough discipline right now to make my self happy for
tomorrow?

It’s a simple question but yet so power full.

Start working on yourself and who you are and you’ll finally
start Producing the results you’ve been dreaming about.

How To Improve Your Basketball Skills

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

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 aid, ” If you have love for the game”
you will be successful.

Let your heart be the leader of your live.

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.

How To Improve Basketball Speed

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

I was at a College game the other day and It
reminded me How much faster the Pros were
Compared to these ‘ Up And Coming” Boys.

I must have seen 20 different plays where a
defensive player was beaten in transition.

If there is one thing I can tell you, It’s to
never get beat by your man in transition,
Coaches (especially college coaches)
HATE THAT!!!!

In the pros we have a few simple guidelines
to follow when it comes to transition.

If you can’t do it, then you simply don’t play!

Here are the guidelines…

===============
Pro Transition Rules
===============

On offensive, on a fast break after a rebound
or turnover, Each player has a certain amount
of time to get to a certain position on the other
side of the court.

If you are a point guard, you have three (3)
seconds to get to the top of the key on the
other side of the court with the ball.

If you are a wing guy( shooting guard or small
forward) you have three (3) seconds to get to
the opposite wings.

If you are a big man( center or power forward)
you have four (4) seconds to get from rim to rim,
ready to either catch the ball for low post position,
or to get a rebound.

Now I don’t know how fast you are, but these
times are unbelievable.

Here is what I want you to do this week.

Either with your team, teammates, or even
by yourself, go to a court and try to get to
these spots in these times ,

Try as hard as you can, without getting injured
to reach the times I set above.

You will get a feel for JUST how fast the PRO
Game is and how much work is involved.

Here are the times again:

If you are a point guard, you have three (3)
seconds to get to the top of the key on the
other side of the court with the ball.

If you are a wing guy( shooting guard or small
forward) you have three (3) seconds to get to
the opposite wings.

If you are a big man( center or power forward)
you have four (4) seconds to get from rim to rim,
ready to either catch the ball for low post position,
or to get a rebound.

Continue to work on them until you can
achieve these times.

Even ask your coach if they can implement
a drill in practice including the whole team..

Stay Tuned for some more Revealing Pro Secrets.

Until Next time.

PS- How Would these results measure up to the reults you’ve been Getting?

Gobasketballpro its definitely time saving and the best product out there.
Nothing compares to gobasketballpro, it is jammed packed with knowledge,
not just a bunch of drills put together. ”

“There are drills but no like the ones you see on “magic johnson fundamentals’.
1 thing I do have to say is if your NOT a dedicated baller then the program is
NOT for you, but if your discipline person then you have struck gold.”

“I my self put my time in but it was mostly no results, until I found gobasketballpro.
From that moment it was really a God given gift. I thank for people like Rali that put
their program out on the market and dont just do it for the money.”

What All-Star Ballers Focus On.

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

What All-Star Ballers Focus On.

Have you ever wondered what seperates the Star From the Bumbs, The “talk Of the town ” Studs form the bench warmers?

Well if yu haven’t noticed, there is a big difference between the Real Ballers and the wanabees.

they act different, they train differemt, and more important, they thin differently.

How?
I’m Glad you asked!

I wish.

Oh, I wish I got this point years ago when I was
floundering in the ocean of ‘baller scatteredness’.

I didn’t. I can’t go back, but now I use IT and I want you
to.

The All-Stars Ballers are different than most Hoopers.

***Different in the way they spend their TIME.

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.

Follow me here.

I am very good at very few things. I have to admit that. There is more I’m not good at then I’m good at. I’m not alone.
Take a look at Some of the most dominate players in the pros and see for yourself exactly what I’ am talking about.

Let’s go down a short list.

Steve Nash = Passing
Iverson = Driving to the bucket
Raja bell = Defense
Jason Jidd = Play Making
Kyle Corver = Shooting Long Bombs
Tim Duncan = Post Domination
Kobe Bryant = Destroying his competition

Have you noticed what made these Ballers GREAT was being good at 1-3 things?

Unbeliveable isn’t it?
I can gurantee you that those Basketball Payers are not good at much more things they’re good at. Like Shaq For example.

Yes he is the most unstopable force basketball has ever seen. But why does he dominate?
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?

No. No. And No!
It’s because he is great at dominating the paint. That’s It!

Successful Ballers have identified ’something’ the masses haven’t.

Not only have they ‘found’ it, they’ve cultivated it.

They’ve developed it.

Dominating the hardwood and becoming an envied Star has been the result.

Here is the Key Secret to remember:

The Studs Spend their time utilizing and MAXIMIZING their strengths, not
maximizing their weaknesses.

The Stars and GREAT spend 80% of their time in their
’strength zone’. If you spend 80% of your time in an area that you were
strong in and enjoyed, how Great would your results
be?

Exactly, that’s my point.

Great.

You don’t need 10 strengths to dominate the court You need
1-3. That’s it.

Ask yourself:

If I was going to spend 5% more time in areas I’m good at,
what actions can I take now? I believe in you. I believe your strengths can make a huge difference in Your Results.

Are you ready to tap into them, invest more time there, and
go for what you want?

I thought so.

Push yourself today. You’d be amazed at the gallons of
power hidden inside you. Truly amazed.

Your Coach,
Rali Todd

Sitting on the Bench Hurts More!

Team Lay-up / Conditioning Drill

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

Karl Malone

Ok, I’m a bit “old school” with the name of this drill, but gave it this name many years ago when Karl Malone played exactly like this drill. Got the rebound and would be out on the break passing and catching for dunks.

I truly think this is one of the best team drills you can implement. Great for team camaraderie - working towards one goal with skills that are within reach of all your players:

1) Catching and making passes at high speeds and 2) Finishing with a made layup.

I like to run this drill for 5 minutes (some nights right, some nights left). We will have a goal for made layups, usually set from our best score to date. Always try and raise the bar.

This is how the court should look to begin. You need at LEAST 10 players to run this drill…no less. The line next to the basket in the direction you are going on each side must have at least two players. (see #2 / #3 and #1 / #9).

Karl Malone

Player #1 and Player #8 start together running up their respective side lanes. They must pass to the first person in each line while running down the center of their lane. They must run with their hands up so as to quickly receive and deliver the next pass.

They receive the ball back from each line as they are running and then will finish with a made layup. They DO NOT run towards the line to make the pass, rather, they must run down the center of their lane catching the ball and making the next pass. THE BALL DOES NOT TOUCH THE FLOOR!

When the playes are finished making the layups at each end of the court, they will continue running out to the end of the line, freethrow line extended on the other side. Let’s look at the rotations as they run up the floor.

Karl Malone

Let’s look at the right side line. As #1 passes to #2 and then gets the ball back, #2 will run behind #1 and to the center position where #4 is standing.

#4 catches the pass from #1 and passes back quickly to #1 and then runs behind #1 to the back of the line, behind #7, free throw line extended.

As soon as #6 passes back to #1, #1 goes in for the layup with #6 right behind him to rebound the ball out of the net.

#6 now takes the ball up the other sideline while the person who just made the trip, #1, runs behind the player waiting free throw line extended, #1 in this diagram.

This same action is taking place on the other side of the court.

When you get really good…try adding one more ball…start him in the middle and watch this drill really take off! No room for error!

Team shooting

Monday, November 20th, 2006

1
Players on the wings have the ball, two balls per line.

They pass to the corner for a three point shot.

Shooters rebound the shot and then join the passing line.

The passers join the end of the shooting line.

Focus is on catch and shoot techniques.

The drill runs for approx. 2 minutes, and the players should make at least 35 - 50 shots.
