The Cross Over Movement Blog

Oftentimes, the difference between good a great is discipline. Ray sent me an article about friend of the site Dave Hopla (who recommends the Hard2Guard Player Development Newsletters) and the number of shots he makes. More importantly, the article talks about tracking his shots:

When he was 16, at the urging of a coach whose name is lost to history, Hopla began tracking every shot. He records makes and misses and other details, such as position on the floor and how many minutes it took to reach a certain number of baskets.

Why? Because he figures that if one’s attitude is, “Who’s counting?'’ then, well, what’s the point of doing anything, really? If you undertake a task, the thinking goes, you should want to be as good as possible at it. Perfect, in fact.
