I've Been True To The Game of Basketball (A Happier Person)
A negative habit will only hinder your progress as you progress to the next level and beyond. Be in control.
Many people exercise, play sports, or know someone who does. Having done so
almost my entire life, I have a few pearls of wisdom. To gain an advantage, focus on a full body workout. In sports your base (waist down) is more important than
your upper body except the mind and heart. It will bring more life to your
conversations and rejuvenate your outlook.
I met a 74 year age man playing full court basketball. He was a teammate of Oscar Robertson (The Big O) on the Cincinnati Royals. He's a joy to watch because of his subtle technique and confidence. He has a team called "Man Up". In an effort to "One Up You", let me know how the following works for you. If you would like to read the definitive book on basketball, I encourage you to check out The Art of Basketball by Oscar Robertson (The Big O). Be sure to interpret the words on the pages correctly and add your touch. Here's wishing you a life of swishes and assists.
I'm sure for those who play other sports there is a book. Use your imagination to
visually practice the techniques. Try blocking 30 minutes of time, identify the skill(s), count the number of mental repetitions, and sets. Then, try it on the field of play. I think you will like the results. Be sure to lead a balanced life. Good sportsmanship has its privileges. I recently attended a high school basketball game and am disgusted at the behavior of a few. It must be stopped because it sends the wrong message. Additionally, realize it is about winning the basketball game. A negative habit will only hinder your progress as you progress to the next level and beyond. Be in control.
1. Listen to your body and check with your physician before
starting an exercise program
2. Do a variety of exercises
3. Play sport(s)
4. If a body part hurts, don't aggravate it & seek medical attention
5. During the exercise, mentally focus on the body part you're exercising
6. At least two genuine smiles while resting during an hour workout
7. Vary cardio routines including length of time, day, and speed
8. Have at least one brief conversation before or during workout
9. Compete with a sub-goal in mind (repetition required before going to the next
level(s)) and reaching a goal
10. Less is more if done correctly
11. Drink eight glasses of water a day …. Start the day with one glass & drink
less with meals …. Don't drink it all at once
12. Eat a variety of nourishing foods (include eating some fruit(s) on an empty
stomach, one walnut, one pecan , two almonds)
13. Drink no more than 1.5 cups of your favorite sport drink after exercise
