Almost every woman at some point in her love life will fall for a bad boy. From gang members to thugs, from OG to Mac-in-training, they all have one thing in common: they play the game of love by their own set of rules, and if you break the rules, you’ll end up heartbroken. What is a bad boy? He’s a bully, a bully, and a rebel without a cause. Or he could be the nice boy next door who’s silky smooth, but deep down he’s a cold-hearted scoundrel. Bad boys are the kind of guys your mom warns you about, but because they have a bully appeal, you throw common sense out the window and caution to the wind.

The thing to keep in mind when dealing with a bad boy is that most of them see women as conquests, something to be captured and conquered. And when the excitement ends, so does the relationship. Although many of you know this, some of you go after the bully in hopes of being the one to change him. In the end you are left feeling hurt and betrayed. And you know when you have a guy who’s not acting up because you’re probably quick to tell your friends what to do the moment his boyfriend starts acting up. But sometimes it’s easier to tell others what to do than to do what you know is right.

I know firsthand what it’s like to be captivated by a bad boy, because until I learned how to make healthier relationship choices, I was a bad boy addict. He wouldn’t even look at a guy unless he was a bully with a bad attitude.

But years of emotional roller coaster rides, baby mom drama, and being silly made me wake up and smell the dysfunction. As a result, I developed some common sense strategies that helped me break my bad boy habit. I share them in a spirit of brotherhood, hoping they will help you too.

Why do girls like bad boys?

If you ask most women why they like bad boys, they’ll say the challenge, the thrill, or the thrill of living vicariously. But often, what begins as a high-speed thrill ride ends up becoming an emotionally draining melodrama. Bad boys offer a double dose of pain and pleasure. When they’re bad, they’re horrible, but when they’re good, they make you feel like you just won the lottery. These are the most common reasons why women like bad boys.

secret fear of intimacy

If you’re attracted to guys you can’t really have, because they don’t want a real relationship or because they’re involved with someone else, you may have a secret fear of intimacy. The reason you might find a bad boy so attractive is because you can be with him without letting him get too close. As long as he’s unavailable, he can never get close enough to hurt you.

A subconscious desire to bring dad back home

As you already know, the relationship you had with your father shapes the relationships you will have with other men. If he grew up without a father or if he was emotionally unavailable, he may get involved with men who act like his father. Although you risk getting hurt by being with a bad boy. You may hope that if you stay long enough, he will eventually give you the love you didn’t get back home.

Low self-esteem

When you feel good about yourself, you set high standards in every area of ​​your life, including your romantic relationships. If you’re in a relationship with a guy who lies, cheats, talks bad about you, or mistreats you in any way, then regardless of what you want others to believe, you don’t feel good about yourself. When you value who you are, you treat yourself with great consideration, and you demand that others do the same. Know that you are worthy of being treated with kindness and respect.

Media brainwashing

If you’ve ever watched an episode of Jerry Springer or the latest music videos, you can see how the media is presenting the bad boy image as every girl’s dream. Popular television and music videos try to make you believe that it is acceptable for men to disrespect women and reduce them to sexual objects. Think of Jay Z’s “Big Pimpin'” video or Lox’s “Need a Ride or Die Chick” and you can see how the media promotes the image of the bad boy as the ideal. You don’t have to buy everything the media feeds you. You can make your own decision as to what is attractive and acceptable. There is no good reason to stay in a relationship with a guy who doesn’t appreciate or respect you.

Most private equity firms give at least lip service to some version of a 100 Day Plan when closing the investment transaction in a new portfolio company. Given the long list of post-closing action items, the effort makes sense. Still, does the 100-Day Plan really create value? Not likely. However, the 100-Day Plan does mitigate risk, so chalk this up to good defense.

While the defense can keep teams from losing the game, the offense scores the game-winning points. This reality should shift the focus of leadership towards strategic planning. But wait a minute! Does the investment thesis not cover the strategy? Sure, but the investment thesis does not “operationalize” the strategy. The strategy is only claimed when it results in accelerated growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The “operationalization” strategy (the investment thesis) is tactical and should be owned by the portfolio company’s leadership team. Middle Market Methods suggests a planning session for the benefit of the portfolio company’s leadership team, not the private equity firm’s deal team. Using a different nickname for the effort also avoids confusion. How about calling it a “Value Creation Roadmap”?

What should the value creation roadmap achieve? The first objective is to introduce key business model process owners to the investment thesis. Depending on who brokered the deal for the portfolio company, these leaders and their subordinates may still be reeling from the change of ownership, let alone their expectations for EBITDA growth. When business model process owners are initially faced with the typical “3X in 3” investment thesis, they often reflect excitement followed by awkward moments to regain composure. This reaction, however, may be the best due diligence the private equity firm’s deal team can find. This is the second objective of the value creation roadmap: to identify what the leadership team knows that investors do not know about the scalability of the business model. By involving those who actually execute the core business processes, valuable insights are gained, including (i) due diligence substantiated, (ii) due diligence clarified, (iii) due diligence invalidated, and (iv) due diligence missed.

Good. Now what? Given a finite pool of resources, leadership teams must prioritize initiatives that, in colloquial terms, achieve “the most with the least” (sic). This is the third objective of the value creation roadmap: establishing the “vital few” cumulative initiatives. As Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan remember the leaders of Execution: the discipline of getting things doneLess is more, meaning teams do better by removing a few deliverables at a time. What happens when the “vital few” require bandwidth or skills beyond the realm of reality for the portfolio company leadership team? The answer addresses the fourth goal of the value creation roadmap: identify capabilities vs. necessities. This is a “moment of truth” for the private equity deal team. By seeking out the private equity firm’s network of subject matter experts, the deals team builds relational bridges with the portfolio company’s leadership team while supporting the value creation effort. Of course, some private equity firms have operating partners who can cover the additional skill sets needed by the portfolio company initiative. Still, a bullpen of relievers is recommended for three reasons. First, the operating partners may also have exhausted their bandwidth. Second, some types of deliverables are so infrequent that the company is better off outsourcing than hiring people. Third, an outsider may occasionally have more situational flexibility than a member of the company.

Initiatives invariably have a set of tasks, including a critical path for those tasks. In addition, there is an optimal order of execution in all the initiatives and their required tasks. This is where good project management pays off. The execution recipe must be coded in a Microsoft Project plan. Project plans are enormously useful. They not only facilitate choreography and coordination, but also help with general management, performance management, meeting agendas, and communications. This is the fifth objective of the Value Creation Roadmap: leadership in execution.

Did we forget the elements of the 100 Day Plan? Of course not! They are in the mix. The point is that when the 100 Day Plans are done independently of the strategic exercises, potential dysfunction occurs. Why? Both are fed from a common resource pool. What happens with time? After the letter of intent (LOI), there is an inflection point at which the interested parties consider that the closing of the deal is imminent. This is when the planning should begin. “Homework” assignments begin in a two-week window on either side of the projected close date. Ideally, the value creation roadmap session occurs within 30 days of closing.

In short, a corollary of Harvey MacKay (Swim with the sharks without being eaten alive) line reminds us that we don’t plan to fail; rather, we fail to plan. The best time window for the value creation roadmap suggested above is an 80-20 scenario. Keep in mind, however, that 80% is more than double Ty Cobb’s lifetime baseball batting average. The results of prioritized planning are powerful.

As we all know, relationships go through phases. There are good times and there are not so good times. It is quite seasonal in nature. In fact, we can’t judge someone just because one season is not as good as the others… In truth, you won’t watch all the seasons unless you stick around. In fact, it may even pay off in the long run.

Using metaphors and analogies when dealing with relationships is great. Try not to define the events… in fact, try to accept and understand them, it’s much easier this way. Acceptance is a very beautiful thing. Other virtual people are just as important as yours and mine. During my years in high school and college I helped many friends, both women and men, they call me their love guru. All I did was listen, never offering a solution until we both absolutely understood the problem.

I have heard and understood both the male and female perspectives and guess what…they are very, very similar. I’m not a relationship expert, in fact, I really don’t believe they exist, because every relationship and person is unique and different. I like to say that wisdom is the best strategy to adopt when dealing with relationship problems. Understanding psychology is only scratching the surface, and in fact, using it the wrong way is just a manipulative tool that fails to achieve love. I would suggest that while you give your woman time, you are there for her when she is in a good mood and when she is in a bad mood. Be yourself and that is to be the person she fell in love with.

So if you are now going through a season that may seem challenging and difficult with your respective partner, don’t judge them, just accept it. Acceptance is a beautiful thing. What is beautiful can be so hard to describe sometimes. Even in the dark moments of life, there is beauty, and I have seen it.

There are many ways to overcome the conflicts we experience in relationships, there is no golden rule. All those psychological articles and techniques to get your ex back are pretty manipulative.

on my own [and others] life experience[s]Using those psychological tactics are rarely a loving way to have a peaceful relationship, they will only turn your love into a battlefield. However, the song done by Pat Benatar is great!

So what do you do if your girlfriend needs time?

** Be realistic and be cool.

The word “cool” is your friend. What do we mean by “cool”? Cool means to refrain from acting irrationally and being needy. Let’s not put her needs above hers, in fact, the difficult times we go through in a relationship will define us, make us stronger. So be happy, make her happy, and show her that you really care about her while maintaining your self-esteem. Now let’s combine analogy and metaphor, using both wisdom as we understand basic psychology.

First of all, here is some wisdom, analogy, and metaphor; Love is like a tree, it needs sun, it needs “space”, it needs “time” to “grow”. Imagine this as a healthy tree and this healthy tree looks like your relationship. If you want the tree to grow you cannot shade it and block it from the sun’s rays, by not giving it space and time and the sunlight will not grow. So try not to block her sunlight by always being close to her and not letting her use her own inner resources to solve her own problems. Now the psychology part. We all have a tendency to move “toward” the things in life with which we associate pleasure, and we also have a tendency to “move away” from the things in life with which we associate pain. This is true. Have you been pushing her away?

**Show empathy and compassion.

Empathy. Put yourself in her place, what is she feeling right now? Can you relate to what she is going through at work, home, friends, and most importantly, your relationship with her? If she is stressed, don’t stress her out anymore, instead make every encounter of hers a relaxing experience with her, not only will you make her happy but you will be able to show her why you are together and how great you are. it’s actually reinforcing her initial reason for why she loves you. Remember that she loved[s] you for a reason. I am very sure that you made her happy and excited when she met you, it is very easy to do it again and better. Why? Because you share history and you are a great person. Constantly add value and don’t be afraid to lose it and see what happens.

The word “love”. This word has so many meanings and is often abused, misled or scared of people. Well, love is everywhere and it’s not a definable feeling. Even if your girlfriend hasn’t told you I love you, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t. Love is expressed in many ways. Express your love to her by being patient and accepting her for who she is, even if she is being very cold right now. Guys, I quote: “Love is not seeing a perfect person, it is seeing an “imperfect” person perfectly.

**Hang out with your friends or plan a getaway with them.

I am very sure that you will feel refreshed sitting in a spa, having a few drinks, having a barbecue and just relaxing. You will find that the person you were when you met your girlfriend was an outgoing and independent person, do not lose that independence. If you’re going for a drink with the guys, stay safe and don’t overdo it, have fun!

**When she talks to you.

Listen to her. Stay still. Look into her eyes and don’t interrupt her. She answers all her questions and is honest.

If you maintain eye contact you will create a deeper understanding, in fact she will really feel heard. Use empathic communication. ie, “yeah, from what you’re saying, you must really feel…” Don’t engage in a solution-based conversation until you both really understand the whole problem. Let her talk and talk and talk, even if you don’t like what she says. Sometimes I make this mistake too, I just ramble.

When it’s time to go your separate ways wherever you are, give him a hug if that’s all he’s into right now, don’t go for a kiss. You will find in time that she will kiss you on her cheek and then slowly open up. Say goodnight or whatever she usually says and thank her for coming. The same goes for phone calls from her.

**Make her feel like she’s a great girlfriend.

There’s nothing worse than a woman thinking she’s been a horrible bitch to her boyfriend. Yes, they feel bad if they hurt you. I’m serious. Whenever she apologizes forgive her, if you mess up apologize too. This is a start to some healing. Tell her that you think she’s cool, even if she’s been really annoying you in the past few weeks.

**Make her laugh.

It’s okay to act funny in a manly way. I tend to repeat something and change my tone making it funny. Women love this. Remember that girls want to have fun, just like us guys.

**Don’t make her jealous by using other women.

Yes, jealousy is a very strong motivating factor for bringing someone home, but jealousy can erode your judgment and cause you to react for the wrong reason and it won’t be out of love, I can assure you. I believe in two forms of jealousy, they are good jealousy and bad jealousy. Good jealousy is usually when we get a little sense of it, but it immediately stops at that point and doesn’t intoxicate your relationship. You feel a certain emotion but it makes you recognize that you have emotion there.

Good jealousy happens while you’re in a relationship, and it doesn’t undermine your self-esteem or theirs. Bad jealousy will do exactly the opposite, it continues and plagues your relationship causing suspicion, lack of trust and obviously insecurity. Don’t play on jealousy especially with your girlfriend to make her jealous, it’s more powerful than you think and it might bite you.

** Don’t give him an ultimatum.

The worst thing you can do is give her a time limit on how long you’re going to stay or for her to make a decision. She warns you that you will be the loser. Ultimatums rarely work and this comes from my experience as a lawyer and my understanding of having a win-win situation. If you use an ultimatum, consider it a lose-lose situation.

It’s perfectly okay to tell him that you’re hurt and frustrated and that the relationship isn’t what you really want. Surely you could tell her you won’t stay if she’s still cold. You have the right to make your decisions and act accordingly (if you went this route, you obviously would have thought about it and really want to end things). ). Don’t say this to manipulate her and bring her back, she might chase you but it won’t be out of love, it will be out of fear. Trust me, acting out of love is much better for a long term peaceful relationship.

**Be strong!

It is a requirement. I have not seen this in any online post. This is not only important to you as a man, but it is important for her to see that you are her rock. If one day she is going to marry you and have children, she doesn’t want someone who can’t control their emotions and acts like a little child. Being strong not only makes her feel supported, but you will exude confidence in the right way.

**Keep your balance, exercise, read and eat well.

Stay informed on world events, read a novel, work out at the gym, and eat well. You’ll look better, you’ll feel better, and you’ll also take care of staying busy. This is not only important for your own well-being, but attractive as you have a world outside of theirs.

The reason why your girlfriend needs time may not just be about you, it’s about her, respect her. Be open to what she says and let her work things out her way and give her all the time she wants. If you wanted time and were in her situation, you would want your girlfriend to make demands on you. She treats others how you want to be treated and trust me, that’s an easy but bulletproof strategy for your relationship.

The most exciting event of the year for couch potatoes across America is the 2011 NCAA March Madness Tournament. There is simply nothing that can compare to wall-to-wall basketball from noon to midnight. However, even if you have one of those huge televisions, it’s not the same as seeing it in person.

The 2011 NCAA March Madness Tournament is a single-elimination competition held each spring in the United States and features sixty-eight college basketball rosters, both overall picks and conference champions.

The lowest seeded teams play in the opening round games to see which one will compete with the other sixty teams in the first round of the competition.

Second is the University of Kentucky with seven national titles, as the University of North Carolina and Indiana University tied for third with five national titles. The current winner, which is Duke University, ranks fifth with four national titles.

The event is televised in the United States on CBS, with the exception of the entrance game.

On April 22, 2010, it was proclaimed that the NCAA reached a new fourteen-year, $11 billion deal with Turner Sports and TimeWarner-owned CBS Sports for permission to broadcast the NCAA Tournament since the 2011s. until 2024. In addition, the competition will be increased to sixty-eight games from the year 2011.

Many sportsbooks are offering for March Madness 2011 for a chance to join NCAA betting, which may be among the best types of sports betting to try. In order for you to get started in your NCAA betting game, you can begin to collect information about where wins and losses occur and you should use the information as the basis for your decisions about your betting system. Try to find the best NCAA betting system that works for you and use it all the time so that you can consistently win your bets.

February 15, 2009 will be a very important day for most men. No, now is not the time to get that forgotten Valentine’s gift. It’s the Daytona 500! It’s racing time! It’s time for another chance to get Daytona 500 tickets and watch the best drivers compete.

With Daytona 500 tickets in hand, spectators can enjoy Daytona International Speedway in sunny Daytona Beach, Florida. For those who don’t know much about the event or have never enjoyed Daytona 500 tickets, it is the most watched and most competitive car race.

The ‘500’ printed on the coveted Daytona 500 tickets stands for 500 miles. Over 200 laps, the race captivates viewers on television and in person. This annual competition is the biggest event on NASCAR’s annual calendar. The Daytona 500 is NASCAR’s first race of the year. Since 1995, viewership for the event has been the highest on television in auto racing, surpassing even the Indianapolis 500. Most fans would agree on why: it’s auto racing adrenaline at its finest.

YOU NEED TO HAVE TICKETS TO TRULY ENJOY THE DAYTONA 500 EXPERIENCE

The weather in Daytona Beach, Florida in February certainly helps attract the annual crowds it draws. Quite a few Daytona 500 fans plan to make the trip nearly a year in advance. Tickets for the Daytona 500 go on sale well in advance, and there’s a reason: fans want to plan their trip to the Daytona 500 experience well in advance.

Hotels, businesses and vendors look forward to the second or third Sunday of February each year in anticipation of the big spenders. Although packages can be pricey, to the tune of thousands per person, most include Daytona 500 tickets, pit passes, hotel accommodations, and welcome gifts.

NASCAR wanted the trip to the Daytona 500 to be an all-inclusive experience, not just an event. As a result, they created the Daytona 500 experience (formerly known as Daytona USA). In this experience that you will find outside the Speedway itself, guests will find interactive games for children and adults, a pit stop competition and three motion simulators. There’s also an IMAX theater, of course, showing a NASCAR movie, as well as a gift shop, snack bar, welcome center, and arcade center.

Tickets for the Daytona 500 also allow you to visit interactive motorsport exhibits and other events in the series. Now the price of tickets for the Daytona 500 makes a lot more sense. NASCAR has taken the time and effort to provide ticket holders with a full day of fun and activities.

THE DAYTONA 500 IS MORE THAN A RACE

The Daytona 500 race is arguably the most prestigious event in the sport of racing today. The Daytona 500 is an international spectacle. The Daytona 500 is NASCAR’s flagship event and marks the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season each year. Tickets to the Daytona 500 grant you access to be a part of that history. There’s nothing like the energy of a Daytona 500 crowd, especially when the winning car waves the checkered flag.

You can watch the winner win the Harley J. Earl Trophy on Victory Lane. The winning driver not only gets the trophy and the honor of being the winner of the Daytona 500, but the winning car is on display for a year at the Daytona 500 Experience adjacent to Daytona International Speedway.

In 2008, the Daytona 500 celebrated its 50th anniversary. To celebrate this golden anniversary, a year earlier, in March 2007, NASCAR held a competition to find the best entry design for that year’s Daytona 500. The competition called “Celebrity Tickets for Charity” included celebrity submissions. All proceeds were donated to the Jeff Gordon Foundation. Comedian and game show host Jeff Foxworthy won the competition and was the designer of the tickets for the Daytona 500 in 2007.

Indiana native Ryan Newman took home the trophy in the 2008 race, earning more than $1.5 million. Who will win next year? The best and most exciting way to find out is with a pair of Daytona 500 tickets. Since 1959, the Daytona 500 has entertained the public. Tickets for the Daytona 500 are always in demand, and they always sell out as fast as the race itself! Those Daytona 500 tickets are certainly worth their weight in gold when it comes to an incredible live experience.

tips

Learn to counter effectively, anticipate the timing of opponents’ moves. Isolate your opponent without giving them a chance to tag in tag matches. Double team legally, have the outside person interfere as much as legally possible. Stay in the center of the ring if you want to survive longer in Battle Royals and Royal Rumbles. Double team when someone is on the apron, having more people helping take out gives you a higher chance of victory. Attack vulnerable or stunned opponents in Elimination Chamber matches to increase your meter and allow for signature moves. Stay out of the way of the main action in Elimination Chamber matches.

• The sounds of the crowd don’t match the action. You’ve won the Royal Rumble and you can hear a pin drop in a Diva’s cleavage!
• Royal Rumbles isn’t nearly as frenetic, action-packed, or crowded as it should be. Simply Battle Royal has another name.
• Matches where tickets are ‘activated’ can take 8 minutes before you actually play, and when there aren’t many people online and only these types of matches (with tickets ‘activated’) it can be frustrating.
• You will probably never play in most match types.
• The comment can be repetitive and annoying.
• Too many Irish whips and button hits in the rumble
• ‘Championship Scrambles’ frequently end in a draw, too difficult to pin opponents

We’ve all heard of the guy who bet on the underdog team in the Superbowl and walked away with thousands of dollars, or the friend of a friend who knows a guy who can hook you up with a Filipino cockfight next weekend.

If you’re a sports fan, it’s a pretty safe assumption to say that you know that bets, both legal and illegal, are placed on virtually every professional game and many college games.

Simply placing a bet can be a confusing affair – sportsbooks have their own jargon and systems vary. Figuring out how to bet well enough to win some money is another matter entirely. How are the fees determined? Who draws the line? What percentage of the time do you need to win to break even?

In this article, I’ll introduce you to the jargon in the world of betting and odds and show you how one of the world’s favorite pastimes can make you a lot of money when you know what you’re doing.

Fundamentals of sports betting

Different sports have different systems for making odds and betting. There are even different systems for the same sport, depending on what type of game the bettor wants to play. But to understand any of these systems, you must first understand the jargon.

Action – Action is simply a betting activity. Phrases like “I want to get in on the action” or “Show me where the action is” come from this term. Since sports betting is illegal in many places, you can’t always look up your local bookie in the phone book.

Handicap: In sports betting, “to handicap” is giving a team a points advantage to level the betting field.

Sportsbook – An establishment that accepts bets, also known as a book. An individual who takes bets is a bookie.

Juice – This is the percentage of all bets taken by the bookmaker as profit. The juice is also known as vig, short for vigorish. Sometimes the bookies take a direct percentage of the mango, but more often the vig is calculated on the odds.

Mango: The mango is the total amount of money wagered on the bets. Super Bowl bets generate the biggest drive of the year for most bookies.

The Spread: The point spread is used in high-scoring sports like soccer and basketball. It is basically a handicap that is used to make all games competitive in the eyes of bettors. The margin gives a team an advantage of a few points. The standard notation for point difference shows the favorite team first, followed by a negative number (the actual difference). The home team is shown in capital letters.

You can place sports bets on football, soccer, baseball, basketball… well, pretty much any sporting event on the planet and you can win a lot of money if you do it the right way. If you’ve ever wanted to place a bet yourself, but weren’t really sure if it was worth the risk, you’ve come to the right place. Gambling definitely means that someone has to win and someone has to lose. What if you could find a way to tip the scales and be on the winning side with almost every bet you make?

Sports betting systems are proven ways to help increase the odds of winning when betting on sports. Professional bettors and tipsters have designed these systems to allow us amateur bettors to learn the insider tricks and trades they use to be so successful at sports betting.

Sports betting systems refer to a set of events that, when combined for a particular game for a particular sport, represent a profitable betting scenario. Since sports betting involves humans, there is no deterministic house or player advantage. Systems allow the player to have an advantage.

Being a fan of the NBA and a basketball coach, I have been constantly searching for the secret of what makes a successful basketball player. I have come to discover that the secret to success in basketball is the same secret to success in any area of ​​life and that is the mindset of a person. Have you ever thought about the fact that an NBA basketball player was born without a basketball and didn’t know about basketball until he was exposed to the game, which means that he learned how to play the game during his lifetime? ? For some it means starting to play at two or three years old and for others you start at 15 or 16. Personally, I started playing at 8 years old. So why are some players able to pick up the game later than others and become much better players in a very short period of time?

A great and very famous story is that of Michael Jordan. I’m sure most people reading this know that Michael was cut from his high school basketball team and went on to become the most amazing basketball player of all time. What happened when Michael was cut was that he developed the mindset that no matter what, he was going to become the best. He wasn’t born with that talent, he didn’t even have that talent when he was 15 years old, but as soon as his mindset changed so that it was his duty to become the best, his actions followed.

The most important thing to remember about being a basketball player is that it’s not what you can do that makes you a great player, but what you will do. It’s the actions you’re willing to take that make you great. I have seen a lot of very talented and very talented players for a reason they actually worked very hard to become great but beware that if you are already a good player and if you stop practicing hard and smart you will not remain the good player for a long time. If Michael Jordan hadn’t practiced every day with the intention of being the best, he would still have been a good player, but definitely not the best.

I cannot stress enough that it is what we do in life that makes all the difference. The difference is getting up early on a Saturday morning to practice your ball handling skills or paying $20 to rent a basketball court if none are available because you have to take 200 shots every day. It is doing what is needed instead of doing what makes you feel comfortable. People who went the extra mile now play in the NBA.

Think about how much an NBA rookie would practice in his rookie season. You will discover that they arrive early to training and leave late. They practice every day more than necessary. Once again, it is what you will do that makes the difference. I suggest modeling the practice habits of an NBA rookie if you want to be an NBA rookie one day.

It’s important that if you’re committed to becoming an NBA player, that you work hard at the right things. Don’t spend 2 hours a day working on post moves if you’re 5’10. Now that’s a simplified example, but simple tips like practicing game speed shots are just as important as spending 2 hours a day practicing. It is absolutely necessary to look for a good training! If you don’t have a good coach, you may find it very difficult to achieve success.

I also suggest that conditioning your body is very important to reaching your basketball potential. One of the main things that needs to be taken into account is speed and jumping ability. When you increase those two things, your basketball skill increases a lot. Your defensive ability is much better because you can move your feet faster and you become very difficult to contain offensively when you can jump 8 to 12 inches higher.

On a final note, I commend you for taking action in advance. The best thing that can happen to you as a basketball player is to believe, believe in yourself!

Shooting free kicks successfully requires confidence, good mechanics, routine, relaxation, rhythm and concentration. Routine, relaxation and rhythm contribute to concentration and confidence.

Confidence

Think positively. You always shoot from the same spot on the line. Nobody is guarding you. The basket is big. Three and a half balls fit in the hoop. With confidence, and solid mechanics, you can’t miss it.

Stand a few feet behind the free throw line until the referee hands you the ball. You will be more relaxed there. If you hear negative comments from the crowd or acknowledge your own negative thoughts, interrupt them with the word stop. Take a deep breath and let go of negative thoughts as you exhale. Replace them with a positive affirmation statement like I’m a shooter! Nothing but net! or Tell it!

Routine

Develop a solid routine for your free kick. A routine helps you relax, focus and shoot with rhythm. Most importantly, using a routine will improve your confidence. The routine may include dribbling a set number of times, checking a mechanic or two, using imagery to mentally practice your free kick just before you shoot it, and taking deep breaths to relax. Get into a solid routine and stick to it; it’s a mistake to copy fads or repeatedly change your routine.

Here’s a sample routine that you can adjust to suit you. Once you receive the ball, place your feet, making sure to line up the ball (not your head) with the center of the basket. Use the small notch mark on the floor in the exact middle of the free throw line that marks the free throw circle. Place your shooting foot slightly outside of this mark, aligning the ball with the center of the basket.

Most players use the one-handed shot for a free kick and take the time to control each of the basic mechanics: balance, hand position, elbow alignment, sight (focus), pace, and follow-through.

Set in a balanced posture. Some players bounce the ball a certain number of times to help them relax. When you dribble the ball, keep your shooting hand up. This helps you have your shooting hand facing the basket when you set up the high stance to shoot. Use a relaxed hand position and align your index finger with the valve on the ball. Next, check the alignment of your elbow. Some players don’t have the flexibility to have their hand facing the basket and their elbow in. It’s more important to have your shooting hand facing the basket than it is to have your elbow all the way in. If your hand tends to turn to the side when you bring your elbow in, let your elbow hang out a bit.

Relaxation

Learn to relax when you shoot free kicks. You have more time to think with free kicks than with other shots. Overexerting yourself can cause undue physical or emotional stress. Use deep breathing to relax your mind and body. For a free kick, you need to especially relax your shoulders; take a deep breath and let your shoulders drop and release. Do the same with your arms, hands and fingers. Learn to relax other parts of your body. Controlling your breathing and relaxing your muscles is especially helpful in a free throw routine.

Concentration

Before shooting, visualize a successful shot. Visualizing just before shooting can produce a smoother, more continuous rhythm and increase confidence. Just before shooting, focus on your target just above the front of the rim. Keep your focus on the target while shooting.

Swing

Start your shot high and use the up and down movement of your legs to get the rhythm rather than lowering the ball to get the rhythm. The up and down movement of the legs provides momentum for the shot and is particularly useful when shooting late in the game when the legs are tired. By starting with the ball high and using your legs to keep up the pace, you will lessen the chance of error that can come from bringing the ball down.

Shoot the free kick with a smooth and flowing rhythm. Use custom keywords to help establish a smooth, sequential pace for free kicks. Say your words to the rhythm of your shot. For example, if your trigger words are legs and through and your anchor word is yes, put them together: legs through yes! – in rhythm with your shot, from the start of your shot until the ball is released. Using custom keywords in this way sets your pace, improves your mechanics, and builds confidence.

act like a shooter

Exaggerate your follow through, keeping your eyes on the target and your shooting arm up until the ball hits the basket. Keeping your track is not only good mechanically, but more importantly, you look and act like a marksman.

common mistake

You feel tense before and during your free kick.

Correction

Use deep breathing to relax your mind and body. Inhale deeply and exhale fully. Relax your shoulders, letting them drop and slack. Do the same with your arms, hands and fingers. Learn to relax other parts of your body as needed.

Free kick drills

1. Daily free throw practice

Shoot a set number of free throws each day. Practice series of 10 free throws after other drills. Because a player rarely shoots more than two consecutive free throws during a game, when doing this drill, he never shoots more than two consecutive free throws without going out of line.

Practice under pressure. Use your imagination and compete against yourself. For example, imagine that time is up and scoring the free kick will win the game. Record the number of free throws made out of 100 attempts. Constantly challenge your own record. Do the same for consecutive free throws.

Be confident. Use positive affirmations before you go to the line and visualize a successful shot just before you shoot. Having a routine helps build confidence for free kicks. Use deep breathing and muscle relaxation techniques.

Approach. The final step before shooting is to remove all distractions and focus on the basket. Say your custom keywords in rhythm from the start of your free kick to the release of the ball. If you miss, visualize a successful free kick with good form, again saying your keywords.

Shoot 100 free throws. Score yourself based on the total number of free throws taken. Record your score. Also record the most number of consecutive free throws. Challenge your record every time you do the exercise.

2. Free kicks with eyes open and eyes closed

Research has shown that combining free throw practice with eyes closed and free throw practice with eyes open improves shooting more than free throw practice with eyes open alone. Shooting with your eyes closed removes vision as your dominant sense, heightening your other senses, particularly your kinesthetic sense (feeling of body movement) and touch.

Visualize a successful shot and focus on the basket immediately before closing your eyes. Shoot a free kick with your eyes closed.

Begin the drill by shooting 5 free throws with your eyes open. Have a teammate rebound each shot and keep track of how many shots he makes out of 5 and how many consecutive shots he makes.

After shooting 5 free throws with your eyes open, shoot 5 free throws with your eyes closed. Have a teammate bounce the ball and give you their feedback on each shot, including the reaction of the ball in the hoop. Use this feedback and your kinesthetic and tactile senses to adjust your shot as needed.

Complete the drill by shooting 5 free throws with your eyes open. Have a teammate rebound each shot and keep track of how many shots he makes out of 5 and how many consecutive shots he makes.

Score yourself based on the total number of free throws taken. Record your score. Also record the most number of consecutive free throws. Challenge your record every time you do the exercise.
