When the terms "Basketball Mind" are said every basketball player who has failed or succeeded in the game can relate to these terms "Basketball Mind"
Having the gut feeling that something needs to be done, you see, sweat and think during training of basketball, Basketball Mind is what you have. My opinion is you only have the basketball mind if you have failed on your journey to success. Or you may realise you have the basketball mind before you have reached your success. This means you have complete focus. You probably couldn't figure out what made you think and do the things you do as a basketball player and as an individual. This is the basketball mind. If you have this kind of thought, then succes is coming your way. Your thoughts are in motion and are incontrol to the game . You have set this thinking pattern. Rather than set this thinking pattern without awareness, give this thinking ability awareness and set a thinking pattern you can control knowing when you will fail and succeed.
The basketball mind is doing something to make time for the game of basketball, having the thought of "i will" rather than "i can't" Instead the words i cant dont exist in a basketball players mind so does this make the words i will exist?
The words i cant will only lead to another path in life to fullfill your successful needs, another pattern but creating the words i will, will create the path of your dreams. Like walking down a path , you know the path leads to your target but crossing the road you are taking a gamble, not knowing what is coming at you whilste crossing, you may have to rush, you could stumble because you are not familier with the path, you not sure whats racing round the corner. Where as the path you were on, you can see across the road, see you target, controling your pattern knownig fullwell you' get their in time. Taking a short cut and you could get short cutted.
Paragraph 1 of Basketball Mind
During a game of basketball if its either down the courts or in training, if you have the basketball mind you will solo the ball, not give it when it should be given, go for the harder place to score or try and get the shot off as soon as you get it. You will be keep the ball longer than you should because you want to be the one to score the basket at the end. Its not that you rush the shot because your rushing and not that you want the ball because your a solo, its because you are fast and you dont know it, confident and you dont know it. These qualities are good for a basketball player to have, confidence and speed. Its not because your selfish and you want the attraction or the attention from sombody, its because you know in your mind its this shot or never.
Having this kind of thought will better your game or make it worse. It really comes down to how much you pratice. Understanding the basketball mind and knowing you have these qualities puts you in the perfect posistion to stop, realize and control your game. Slow down, know you can score and control the awareness of your game for the rite time. I.e. if a missed shot goes up and you rebound, its fast brake time, do your stuff but on a scored play when the ball is inbounded, slow down, play smart. Use the game rules during an offence. Use your personal skills on the fast brake.
