Welcome,
It's been a little while since I've sent out a Hoops U. 'Inside the Rim' newsletter. After a few email provider changes, we are ready to start rolling this out again more frequently! I'll be shooting (no pun intended, really!) for a newsletter to be sent every week or two. What you'll get 'Inside the Rim' is the latest Hoops U. news and additions, newsletter-only basketball tips and strategies, Hoops U. Insider news, Store spotlights, special bonuses, and much more!
 
Enjoy!
 
 


 
All-New Book: The Mentally Tough Shooting Workout

The Mentally Tough Shooting Workout: Become a Dominant Scorer is a basketball shooting program that will help you become a more dominant scorer! It is much more than your typical shooting workout; it is designed to improve scoring ability and mental toughness.

How is a shooting workout going to improve toughness? The workouts in this program are designed to challenge even the best of shooters. The Mentally Tough Shooting Workout will test your skills and challenge your focus, concentration, and overall mental toughness. If you put forth the effort, this workout will help your overall shooting percentage, your ability to create and score, and your mental toughness.

 
 
Inside the Rim Basketball IQ 
 
In this section of the 'Inside the Rim' newsletter I will be throwing out a tip, idea, quote, strategy, etc that are geared to improving your success as a coach and/or player. These tips might be specific to X's and O's, they might be motivational, they might be common sense ... they might be anything I think you can hopefully use! Sometimes they might be quite involved and sometimes they might be short and to the point! Anyhow, here is today's IQ and it's a great concept to keep in mind as you coach and work with young people:
 
"The greatest gift a coach can give a player, a teacher can give a student, and a parent can give to their child is the opportunity to imagine great things. These dreams in childhood pave the way for future successes."
-- Mike Krzyzewski
