OCTOBER 2000
MICHAEL JORDAN AND YOUR
SHORTS
You
have company spending two weeks with you this
summer. One week down, one week to go. You long
for your privacy, your own routine. Who's house
is this, anyway?
Your wife loves people and having
"them" around. You, on the other hand,
could be a hermit. Well, at least they are in
town shopping and you have a rare opportunity to
take that private shower, without little Billy
knocking on the door.
You are in the hallway and you have just removed
your shirt and pants and pitched them 10 feet
into the hamper in the laundry room.
What's
that noise!!!
The
back door just opened. Your (your wife's) company
is back from town. Rats! You have to make a split
second decision. No time to think it over. They
will be around the corner in less than three
seconds.
There are some people you would not mind seeing
you naked but not this bunch. Why open yourself
up to the brunt of dinner time jokes?
At super human speed, you balance yourself deftly
on your right foot and yank your left sock off.
You aim (under immense pressure) and throw your
sock at the hamper. Bull's eye! Switching to your
left foot, you balance yourself so gracefully
that a ballerina would be envious, reach down and
rip your right sock from your sweaty foot, shoot
once again for the hamper. Swish! Dead center.
Now, the moment of truth.
You flash back to the final game of the Bulls and
Jazz. You are Michael Jordan. You, on the other
hand, have less than one second to get your
shorts off, shoot for the hamper, spin around and
duck into the bathroom.
Your mind's a blur. What if? No time to consider
the consequences. Your left leg comes out, then
your right, all too fast to see. You aim at the
hamper and let 'er fly. Perfect arc, no rim, dead
center. You twirl around and duck into the
bathroom. You made it!!!!!
You and Michael have more in common than you
think. You were both under extreme pressure. You
both shot at your target and you both made it.
But the story only begins there.
What were you and Mr. Michael Jordan thinking
about when you made these great shots? Position
of your legs? Knee bend? Left Arm straight?
Shoulder rotation? Hip rotation? Right elbow?
Left Elbow? Pivot? The Ball? Your Shorts?
You were "seeing" your shorts fly
through the air and hit the hamper. Michael was
"seeing" the ball go directly into the
middle of the basket.
You both "trusted" your minds and
bodies to come up with a plan (without you) that
would be successful. Any thoughts about the
mechanics of your shots would certainly result in
failure.
Why then, do YOU think YOUR golf pros advice
about all the things you NEED to think about in
your swing is going to help? The more you THINK,
the worse you get.
The golf swing, throwing your shorts, and
Michael's successful shooting are a result of
communication between the motor skill part of the
brain (called the cerebellum, if you didn't
already know that) and your wonderful machinery
called your body.
When you skip rocks on the lake what do you think
about? The moment of release? Pivot? Knees?
Isn't it about time you realized what creates a
good shot, a good basket, or a good skip? Ask
Michael or order "The Swings The Thing"
or get caught with your shorts down around your
ankles.
