College Basketball will soon start practice and then high school basketball will follow suit. It is a great time of the year to be in the gym and hear the squeaking of sneakers on the hardwood. The days get shorter and the nights longer, the temperatures start to drop. What better place to spend the fall, winter and spring seasons than in a gym.All of the work that you did in the off season will now pay off . During the off season is the time for individual improvement. If you put the time and effort in during your workouts you should be much improved. On the other hand if you didn’t put the time and effort in don’t expect playing time.Coaches have been getting ready by preparing their practice plans for some time. It is an exciting time for them as well. Everyone starts the season with high hopes. Once practice starts and then the games reality sets in. Coaches find out just how good or bad their teams really are.As far as what I will be doing this season I am continuing to work on my game. There is always room for improvement. I have a bunch of camps, clinics, individual workouts and corporate speaking engagements lined up.I am also writing a book on shooting, this is something that I have always wanted to do. Human Kinetics has been kind enough to believe in me and my knowledge of shooting to want me to do this as well. Human Kinetics have done a number of books on basketball and other sports as well. This is a very exciting venture for me.Thanks for reading. Will blog again soon.

    Well training camp has been going on for awhile and the exhibition season is upon us. It is hard to believe that the season will be tipping off in a couple of weeks. Can the LAKERS repeat? How much does SHAQ have left in his tank? What about the CELTICS? These are all interesting questions and it should be an interesting season especially with the replacement officials.I am currently back doing what I have been doing for so many years before joining the NBA and that is running my camps, clinics, lecturing and doing my corporate talks. So if anyone is interested in having me come and speak or work with their group please feel free to contact me via email or call me at 1-800-993-SHOT.Thank you for reading my blog and I look forward to keeping you posted as to my doings. Praise the LORD and count your blessings as we all have so much to be thankful for.Until the next blog take care and God Bless.
