About a month ago I was very fortunate to score seats to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne concert. I have seen a lot of legendary bands play including Aerosmith, Metallica, Linkin Park (with Jay Z), and Snoop Dog, but I have to say, this was one of the best concerts I have every been to. Jay-Z and Kanye absolutely brought the house down from start to finish playing songs from their new collaborative album (Watch the Throne) and many of their classic songs that everybody loves. Watching these two guys perform was truly something special, and it got me thinking about the title of their album, Watch the Throne.
Will People be Watching Your Throne in 2012?
Tim Tebow and The Holidays
I love the holiday season. There is something about this time of year that is quite magical. Personally, I enjoy heading out shopping for friends and family. As with everything else that I do, it is quite a production, and it usually includes a large peppermint mocha latte from Starbucks and quite a few hours trying to find that perfect gift for the people in my life that I love.
Teach Players How to Play
Yesterday while having a conversation with a local basketball coach, I happened to ask him about his practice planning and how he used his practice time. He told me that they worked on their offensive plays for half the time and their defensive plays for the other half. I was NOT surprised at all. This happens at least once a week where a coach tells me that all they work on is their offense and defense. I totally get it too. Gym time these days is severely limited almost to the point where coaches can only get one solid practice in a week. For the most part, that practice is only a hour to an hour and a half. The games are usually on the weekend so they have to work on their offense or defense during their practices. This seems reasonable and understandable but I’m not sure I agree entirely.
Watch Your Shot
I recently reconnected with an old basketball friend of mine that has basically done it all in the basketball business. Yesterday while we were on the phone we initially started talking about camps and clinics but then the topic turned to training and in particular, shooting. Where I do a lot of footwork, shooting technique, and shooting drills in my basketball skill development workouts, this guy is a shooting expert.
Thank You
As I finish up my week today with basketball skill development workouts all day today today at Elite Basketball Training, I wanted to take the time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgving.
