A No-Pressure Basket Shooting Session

avatar

Greetings, Fellow M.J. Wannabes! And you, too, dear Younger Generation Representatives!

I had one of these rare moments of peace yesterday because...because I was waiting for a work-related call but it was not coming for a while and I had some time to fill in the gaps in the space-time continuu, no need to thank me but you're welcome...

...Ehhhh*...

...where was I?

Off work and off limits for about half an hour.


Let me start anew!


A warm end-of-May evening. Long-lasting daylight and blue hour. Alone on the court and not counting my percentage, unlike the night before. The practice of that previous night showing results in...arm and wrist comfort, strength, sense of control. Shooting for three points seemed easier than ever before. I was not counting.

I was still being aware of making three successful shots in a row not once but many a time. I was not counting beyond that, though...

An hour of practice in continuous shooting both from the three points line and then from all angles and distances I remember as mostly difficult but...

...Who would have guesses - showing results on the night after that.

The evening before that evening...

From the three-points line — 26 out of 100;
From within the three-points line — amazingly low, only 28 out of 100 the first time; 42 out of 100 the second time.

The evening during the evening, i.e. the one with no pressure of any sorts, i.e. no counting...

From the three-points line — ...I felt it was more than any other shot. It was most of the shots which was at least 50 %. It was an evening I was in my element. Of long ago.




Peace!

Manol

Practice makes perfect, as they say! Although in sports there is rarely such a thing as perfect so I have no idea where that expression came from.
