For example, during a basketball game, many analogies can be made to what happens in the life of a person. There are ups and downs, challenges endless, constant adversity and what it takes to find them in the head.
The dynamics of the game of basketball really correspond to what happens in life. As in basketball, so in life:
1. Understand and master the basics of the game. Before you can play the game of basketball you should learn the basics or fundamentals concepts - how to play the game, how to pass, dribble, run the floor and shoot the ball. You have to develop the skills to play at an acceptable level.
Lesson: In life must also learn the basics. You must establish what (life), what does it mean for you and you want it. Then you must develop the skills and strategies needed to achieve this.
2. Be prepared mentally and physically. Elite athletes know that they can not work optimally or win games if you are not prepared mentally and physically. You must be physically fit to withstand a basketball season long, tiring and demanding. Equally important, you should have a mental fitness. Includes a positive mental attitude, willing and winning mentality. One without the other will not win games.
Lesson: Being prepared mentally and physically is essential in life.
3. Be selfless and a team player. Basketball is a team sport, which means it requires the contribution and cooperation of all members to play well and win. Everyone should concentrate, work together and fulfill their individual roles for the common good of the team. team player
How big of a player Michael Jordan era, he did not win any championships until he learned to involve his teammates, trust them and distributing the ball.
In one of the biggest score of his career games, scoring 63 points and set a playoff record, his team lost to the Boston Celtics. In a sport where individual greatness is measured largely by winning a championship ring, personal glory does the job. Lesson: The same goes for life. To contribute, cooperate and share.
4. Be alert and aware. Anticipating the game. The best basketball players have been credited with extraordinary vision and court awareness. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and other great players knew exactly where everyone was on the court, the trends of the other players, and performs work against different teams. The ability to anticipate and be ready for a game made active, rather than reactive, players in a match. It is a factor that separates the great players from good players.
Lesson: Be aware and conscious in life sets the stage for the performance.
5. If the parties are not working, reset the game plan. Every great basketball player knows that when its parts are not working you have to adjust, then adjust a little more. The strengths and different styles of different opponents require different tactics. You must be able to withstand and respond to any opponent attack uses on you. Lesson: Life presents many challenges for which we have to adjust our game plan.
6. Never leave the game. Persevere. never give up Another feature common to the brilliance of Larry, Magic and Michael was to never give up on a play. When they missed shots that would be the ones to recover their own rebounds, diving for loose balls, outwit defenders and make every last second count (he often did). They were willing to do the little things that statistics do not reflect. Many a dagger was thrust into the heart of an opponent when the game result seemed a foregone conclusion. How? Because we never gave up. Not in the game, not the game, not themselves!
Lesson: Persevere. Never, never, never give up.
7. win more games than you lose, but accept victory and defeat with grace. No matter what sport you play, you can not win every game. In a series of 7 championship game two balanced teams often win only one more than they lost game. Blood, sweat and tears to win a championship is needed. If you give everything I have, no matter what the outcome, you can keep your head up. Learn what it takes to win and come back and try again. Before they won, Larry, Magic and Michael lost many games and championships. Before they understand what it took to win, they had to learn to accept defeat.
Lesson: The same goes for life. Everything will not always go your way. There will be two defeats and victories. If you give all your best shot and learn lessons along the way, you will come out a winner.
