Legendary basketball coach John Wooden once observed that of all the skills a player must master, shooting a basketball demands the most mental skills to execute well. Yet, while plenty of books published describe the physical mechanics of shooting - or mental skills training in general - this is among the first to cover both within the same book. In Shooting Out of Your Mind, players, their parents and coaches will get a hands-on guide on how to learn both the mental (Part 1) and physical (Part 2) mechanics involved in shooting a basketball. 

 Drawing from his 40 years' experience, renowned sport psychologist, basketball coach and karate instructor Dr. Rob Smith shares many "Homework Exercises" for readers to practice in order to master these crucial skills. Finally, Dr. Rob provides readers with essential tools for readers to track their progress and avoid the pitfalls (Part 3) that can derail players from achieving their goals. Most coaches can teach players how to shoot a basketball. This workbook will enable them to help their players develop mental skills like goal-setting, resilience, confidence, managing pressure situations, visualizing themselves playing well, and becoming a great teammate. 

 Shooting out of Your Mind serves as a must-have toolbox for any player or coach.
