Winning the Slam Dunk Contest!

in 1995 I won the Long Island Dunk Contest. Here was the line up I used to beat Stanley Martin (who was favored by the judges but not the fans).

1. 1 handed windmill.
2. Double pump reverse.
3. Bang off backboard THEN tomahawk.
4. Kiss the rim.
5. Jump as high as I can and try to tear the rim off.

It felt good to overcome the opposition, take the trophy home, and leave the
packed gym with serious pride.

What it means to earn it!

I played with a lot of different players from all over the world. The one concrete thing I can say that bound us all together was our love of basketball. There were plenty of guys who had tremendous natural talent and never worked beyond their innate capacity. There were also guys who didn't have a lick of natural talent yet their work ethics provided the skills necessary to compete on a high level.

Which player are you?
What are your plans for maximizing your ability?
Do you know how you should be physically training as a player?
Do you know what you shouldn't be doing in terms of physical training?
Do you know how to care for your body outside of playing basketball?
Do you know the difference between pain and injury?
Do you know what optimal nutrition and adequate rest for a player is?
Are you ready to improve with methods that work?

Strengthening Basketball Hands I

A basketball players worst nightmare is a sprained thumb or wrist. Anytime the term sprain is used it is used to describe small connective tissue tears. This kind of thing is prevalent with hyperextenion injuries since the range of motion is increased too much. The binding connective tissues try their best to keep the joint in place but some forces prove too strong hence the sprain.

Before you experience the Thumb or Wrist, I advise you to strengthen your thumbs, fingers, and wrists. Intelligent lower arm training provides emphasis on rotations/movements that the subject is particularly weak. For example; extension is weak in comparison to flexion. For this remedy I recommend The Formulator which is apparantly no longer made nor sold. Either way, a tremendous device that is sound in structure and function capacity. IF you don't own one, you can use a wrist roller and still experience outstanding results.

Strong hands for a player denotes MY BALL! Stay tuned for Part II...

Ode To Bruce Webster

I was fortunate to be able to play for some quality coaches. By quality, I simply mean each particular man had an admirable character trait that brought out the best in his players.

Bruce Webster coached at the University of Bridgeport for over 30 years. He won hundreds of games, turned out several professional athletes, and had a hard, stern way of getting his point across.

Bruce gave everyone two strikes. The first strike was a warning and the second was an out. I appreciated his methods of discipline and of teaching the game. I am sure there are former players that were rattled by Bruce and probably dislike his to the day.

I for one, appreciate the man for who he was, what he did, and what he brought out in me. While he didn't have the confidence in me that he should have, I learned a tremendous deal from him.

The message today is simple; everyone has something to offer. It is for the wise person to recognize what it is that makes each individual special and adapt yourself to it. That's why I always say, together we can become champions.

Another Division I Baseball Player Testimonial!

I just received another testimonial from a former Division I Baseball Player! I know, I know...what does a Baseball Player know about basketball training?...

A LOT!

This testimonial comes from a serious baller who has taken his game into the NYC Urban Professionals League. I respect an athlete who steps a little outside his comfort zone to dominate another.

Playing a Division I College sport is legit. Competing in another sport at a high level Post-College is another.

Props to Charles and stay tuned for his testimonial!

Telling Lies

One the most simple things a person can do is to be honest. This facet of life is something that even the most "sucessfull" people do not have a grasp on. What I mean is that just because someone makes money does NOT mean they are honest. There are plenty of people walking around with gigantic bank accounts that couldn't tell the truth if it was free to do so. Honestly, I don't know what it is and instead of trying to figure it out...I figured I would drop you a line to let you know that you're not alone thinking it.

When you start to plan a training scheme, you should be honest with yourself.
When you start planning for a college education, you must be honest with yourself.
When you choose a mate to live your life with, you need to be honest with yourself.

I could go on and on with this one but I know you feel me here. My only advice is to surround yourself with positive poeple that beleive in your abilities for what they are and you for who you are. Jealous people are not always visible and sometimes may be closer than they appear.

As I write this message to you today, I find myself a bit saddened. I am saddened because in a perfect world, we would all help eachother to benefit mankind. Instead, the exact opposite is what we experience from time to time.

Today, if you can help someone reach their goals, lend a hand to them. In time, all things come full circle and maybe, just maybe, people will start telling the truth.
