		<title>Roles to Get Chose: 3 Ways to Make the Team</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When most people think of making the team, they envision themselves knocking down shots all over the floor and having everyone holla&#8212;-&#8221;I see you.&#8221; If that&#8217;s the case, you&#8217;ll probably make the team.  However, outside of such a Kevin Durant style scoring expo, here are a few ways to impact the coaches and give yourself [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Far is LeBron?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[LeBron James is one of the baddest cats on the basketball planet, and perhaps the best teammate in the game&#8211; period . You could even argue he is the greatest player we&#8217;ve ever seen&#8211;with so much cap space (room to grow). Yet as super basketball human as he is, LeBron has glaring weaknesses in his game. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Shot to Make It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you take a shot during a ballgame, you shouldn&#8217;t be trying to make the shot&#8230; you should expect to make the shot. Expecting to make shots is a matter of taking a shot your capable of making technically,while satisfying other quality shot selection factors. After all, every team&#8217;s goal should be the best shot [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;In the Lab&#8221; with Nia Jackson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nia Jackson is an All-Pac 10/12 guard at the University of Oregon, and one of the most explosive players in the country.  I was able to spend three days (12 hours) with her in the &#8220;Lab&#8221; recently .  Nia has been working hard to rehab a knee injury suffered against the University of Washington last season.  Physically [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Slow Can You Go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slow doesn&#8217;t mean SLOW&#8230;it means SLOOWER, at least enough to stop ANYTIME after you start your motion  forward.  For starters, effective use of the push (back) and control (front) foot is essential. I talk in greater detail about that in &#8220;Foot Control is Quite the Feet&#8221;  (Article 2), &#8220;We Can Build You&#8221; and  &#8221;Can You Handle [...]]]></description>

		<title>Above the Crowd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How can you move the crowd? First of all how has your game evolved. Unless you standout during play (most every time out), your standing doesn&#8217;t lie in the company of top players. Standing out against top players in basketball may perhaps be tougher than finding a needle in the mountains of Afghanistan or a [...]]]></description>

Virtual Play (click) is the name- a different basketball genre is the game. Virtual Play is a real-life app for creating matrix-like outcomes on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Dose of My Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Post play isn&#8217;t just for the the &#8220;Bigs&#8221;. It&#8217;s for any player who finds himself or herself at a certain location on the floor.  The ideal spot  for post position is just above the box, 45 degrees from the basket. This area allows access to the basket on either side of the defender (potentially), without concern for [...]]]></description>

After all, by the time an individual dons the jersey of his or her respective institution, they have established themselves  as a top performer in their field.  Only the top 2% of [...]]]></description>

I can say with certainty it was not a matter of running out of things to say or of not being properly motivated to write. Please believe that I remain as passionate as ever [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Little Things Bring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Power of Confidence Staying on top of performance is based on staying on top of the details. Don&#8217;t guess what to do, watch what to do (&#8221; A  is the Answer&#8221;).  Early vision and anticipation speed up processing (of play) and give you more time to operate (perceptively). More time to operate bolsters sound decision making [...]]]></description>

		<title>C.A.M. You Digg It?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The mind must contain the horses of the brain.  The brain can take you where you want to go, but can also take you other places not so pleasant. The lesson? YOU must show the brain the way to have things go your way.  This is something you can&#8217;t ignore. ( &#8220;Listen to the Message&#8221;) [...]]]></description>

		<title>No One Cares If It Ain&#8217;t Fair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s be honest.  Not all coaches are fair.  They all seem to want to win, but some are hell- bent on winning a certain way, and that may or may not include your services&#8211; in the beginning. Sometimes no matter how well you perform, coaches- especially at the college or pro level or any situation [...]]]></description>

		<title>D is Key&#8230; If You Ask Me</title>

Quietly, we give away minutes  everyday. &#8220;Ahh.. it&#8217;s okay, no problem.&#8221;  However, when it comes to sports and competition, a minute (of playing time) is golden.  In fact, getting as many as possible is always way up there on the short list of any true competitor.

		<title>OK. What Did the Chart Say?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 2010-11 hoop season is coming fast.  Last spring season came and went, and the summer circuit has evaporated into the fall&#8230; real quick I might add, huh? Basketball time goes faster than any other- which is a a beautiful thing, if you&#8217;re doing the right things. Otherwise the tries don&#8217;t supply the change, and [...]]]></description>

Go Ladies, you&#8217;ve turned the sports world on its ear.   Well, given the fact they went the entire season undefeated at home and swept through the playoffs undefeated, they should have- but I don&#8217;t believe it is the case. But why not?  ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿It [...]]]></description>

		<title>If Only I knew</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If only I knew something about basketball.  I wish I did, but how could I? It just wasn&#8217;t in the cards. Sure my dad&#8217;s mentor,  coach A.B Calvin  was a Hall of Fame Coach at Scipio A. Jones High School in North Little Rock, Arkansas and also a staunch fundamentalist.  However, he really didn&#8217;t know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Give &#8216;em the Rhythm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The rhythm is the beat and perhaps the most important element in music.  It drives the players forward. It can be even or uneven, steady or unsteady, but always has a certain tempo.  Basketball, just as in music, demands that you be in tune to the rhythm of the game in every circumstance of play.
