Why only the best basketball Teaching Chess Camps
They say that players compete in winter, but they are made in the summer.
This may be true, but how they are doing is a subject of much debate. What is the right combination of time in the gym, the weight of time, or playtime? What are the best ways to spend that time: for himself? In a game collection? Attend the best basketball camps? All this can be a bit overwhelming, and only so long.
However, with all players are working on learning to play the game, they tend to forget that they can get an advantage over competitors by learning to think that the game also.
One of the best basketball court to resolve this is not the Guard College (do not be fooled by you name, are not only point guards). In addition to training intense on the court, who spend much time working on the psychological aspects of the game through video analysis of classroom training, leadership development and well. The aim is to develop complete players, thinkers and community leaders is also valid off the field as they are. And his approach is gaining ground.
Much of the philosophy of the College Point Guard is the man who started it all, the basketball legend Dick Devenzio thinker, not only became one of the best basketball courts, wrote one of the best football books: Think like a champ. (When John Wooden, said his camp and his book are the real deal, people pay attention.)
To get an idea of the kind of approach taken by the Police College Point, take a look at one of the chapters Dick book called "Game Chess-Vision, "which begins:
"One of the main practical reasons an athlete and still plays and to learn clearly see the action unfold, almost as if it were a camera in slow motion. What I call the vision of chess game, primarily the ability see the entire field or the court at the time, and see a play develop slowly. It occurs only with experience. In fact, sometimes it seems they have it at a level realize that you do not have when you go to the next level. This transition is often impossible for those athletes who can excel in their yard, but can not perform the same feats a school team. What exactly is this vision thing? It is difficult to define, but I think some examples may be useful for you.
Once my basketball program went to the leaders of a young athlete told me I was teaching the concepts were good for exercise, but could not be used in games because "The action in the games goes too fast to do that." Idea to double-team and always in search of his four teammates and perhaps call a colleague equipment, especially in a better position to make an easier to complete passes, it seemed simply impossible for her.
How could be looking for his teammates and talk and choose only the right and then say that a teammate to move, while two defenders were sliding push and catch the ball? "You just five seconds before the whistle of an alliance," he said. Like most inexperienced athletes did not realize that good Players do all that in fact (in much less than five seconds) and once you have experience, it appears that the action happens so fast. Defenders do not seem so consuming efforts, and the positioning of your own teammates, "It is something that is very conscious of the front even gets double team. It is not only time to" do all this, there is even time for another career change from player to other side before starting the step, and perhaps extra time to take a bite of his back pocket and a bite eating. "
There are all kinds of things people can learn to attend a basketball camp, but now the best basketball camps can be those who tell you how to think about the game, and not just play.
