Last night I was listening to one of those seminars, you all know the ones, where they promise to give you some needed information for free and after an hour and a half they want to charge you hundreds of dollars. The guy had some interesting points though and doing the sports today, I realized that many of the marketing points he made to be successful were very similar to sports. One of his main points was about a very successful football player who pretty much started off very well managing to avoid some of the errors of his peers and the point being was that he had another successful football player as a mentor. Mentors and associating with others doing the same thing you are can save you a lot of time wasted and a lot of effort. While I agree with that, just isn't a lot of news junkies :)
These tips you can apply them to sports, or you can apply them to marketing.
Have you ever wondered why certain basketball players don't measure up to their potential?
Players that have incredible skills and abilities but then can't make it beyond organized high school basketball are a dime a dozen.
Some tips to stand out from peers and to make it to the level of competition.
With the game of basketball becoming so popular and so competitive only the best of the best have what it takes to play at the next level. Although it can be very difficult players can turn themselves into stars if they have the focus, drive, intensity, confidence and humility that is required to stand out.

Have you ever wondered why certain basketball players don't measure up to their potential?
Players that have incredible skills and abilities but then can't make it beyond organized high school basketball are a dime a dozen.
Some tips to stand out from peers and to make it to the level of competition.
- Lack of Focus - For most players it is very easy to get bored with details when it comes to fundamentals and technique. Most players neglect to focus on small details of their game. All great players have spent countless hours in the gym working on the fine details of their game and have made the commitment necessary to learn the proper drills and fundamentals that will enhance their skills.
- Drive - Playing big time basketball requires a lot of your commitment and time. Many players think they have the passion it requires to excel at the next level when in reality they aren't even close.
- Intensity - This is sometimes what people are referring to when they say that a player has it factor. Basketball players that are intense almost always succeed because they absolutely hate to lose or perform poorly. The ability to live, eat and breathe the game.
- Confidence - If you don't think you are going to make every shot you put up you don't have much of a reason to be on the court. Great basketball players have enough confidence in their abilities and skills to take the shot when it's there. When players suffer from poor shooting or poor performance it often times has nothing to do with their mechanics or abilities and everything to do with their head. Do whatever you have to do to develop confidence in your abilities.
- Lack of Humility It's one thing to be confident about your abilities but if you're so confident that you deny the weaknesses in your game you've hit a wall that will block your progression as a basketball player. Nobody is perfect. The minute you think you are so good that you don't need to practice is when you start setting yourself up for failure.
With the game of basketball becoming so popular and so competitive only the best of the best have what it takes to play at the next level. Although it can be very difficult players can turn themselves into stars if they have the focus, drive, intensity, confidence and humility that is required to stand out.
