The harder you try to play well, the more difficult the game becomes.

Have you ever noticed that the harder you try to fall asleep, the more awake you feel?

Or, that the harder you try to remember a word, the more your mind goes blank?

It’s only when you relax your mind that you’re able to drift off to sleep — or, when you forget about trying to remember the word that it finally pops into your head.

Basketball is the same way:

The player who lets go of “trying” to play well and simply allows the game to flow through him is always the player who shines brightest.

So, in week #2, we will…

• Learn the art of playing hard without effort — and gliding your way to big games, while everyone else is stuck hustling and grinding on every play.
• Finally unlock the spontaneous creativity hiding inside your game — so that every move you make is intuitive, precise, and perfectly timed.
• Tap into the relaxed aggression you play with when you’re at your best — and learn how to use it on command, at will, every single time you play.

As emotion increases, consistency decreases.

The greatest players in basketball history all have one thing in common:

A ruthless ability to stay calm, focused, and centered — no matter how intense the game becomes.

Fear, frustration, and even excitement don’t phase them.

They simply execute — even when every other player on the floor is losing their cool.

This is the mark of a truly world-class basketball player:

Nobody, and nothing can throw you off your game.

So, in week #3, we will…

• Develop a mind of steel — so that you are no longer crippled by frustration, anger, or disappointment during live games.
• Unlock the rare ability to turn “bad” games into your best games, simply by shifting your emotional state.
• Train your ability to channel explosive emotions into powerful performances — just like the greatest players in basketball history.

The player who seeks growth advances faster than the player who seeks accomplishment.

A reporter once asked Kobe Bryant: “There are players who love to win, and players who hate to lose… Which one are you?”

Kobe replied:

“I’m neither. I play to learn.”

Kobe knew that if you’re driven by success, then you’re vulnerable when you fail.

But when you’re driven by growth, nothing can hurt you… Because every outcome makes you stronger.

This is the secret of true Warriorship in basketball.

This is how you become untouchable.

So, in week #4, we will…

• Finally transcend the fear that has been holding your game hostage — and develop a relentless drive to hunt down the toughest challenges that will forge your game into steel.
• Become unshakeable in the face of difficulty — and, the rock-solid leader that your team relies on when pressure is highest.
• Learn the secret of “basketball alchemy” — how to rapidly turn mistakes, frustrations, and setbacks into your most explosive transformations.

The player you believe yourself to be is the player you will see.

Why do the greatest players in basketball develop “Alter-Egos” for themselves?

Why did Kobe Bryant create “The Black Mamba”?

Why did LeBron James start calling himself “The King”?

Why did Michael Jordan become “The Black Cat”?

Simple:

Instead of hoping that the best version of themselves would magically “show up” when the game began…

…They designed the best version of themselves — and mentally turned into that player before every game, like a Superhero who puts on a cape before going to battle.

This psychological “hack” is the fastest way to completely shed all of your personal worries, fears, and limitations…

…And, to make sure the most powerful version of you shows up, every single time you play.

So, in week #5, we will…

• Permanently release the small, limiting, Identity that has kept you stuck at your current level of performance.
• Uncover the hidden abilities that have been trapped inside of you (and shock everyone who has never seen the most powerful side of your game before!)
• Develop your own, personalized Alter-Ego you can “turn into” every time you play — so that you finally become the consistent, reliable, and dominant player you’ve always wanted to be.

The game comes to the player who does not try to pull the game towards himself.

Have you ever tried so hard to make someone like you that it pushed them away?

The same thing happens in basketball:

The more you try to control the game and “pull” it towards yourself, the more the game pulls away from you.

Your teammates stop passing you the ball… Your coach stops giving you looks, opportunities, and playing time… And, worst of all, your team stops trusting you on the floor.

But — when you finally let go and allow the game to come to you…

…You become magnetic on the floor:

Wide open opportunities begin to appear in front of you…

The ball begins to find you — naturally, without you needing to “chase” it…

And, your team finally begins to rally around you — turning you into irreplaceable leader on your team.

So, in week #6, we will…

• Finally overcome the frustrations you experience with your coach and teammates — by flipping the one critical “switch” that controls how they see you on the floor.
• Turn you into a “magnet” — the player who always seems to have the ball in his hands, and the centrepiece of your team’s attack.
• Begin the process of positioning YOU as the undisputed leader of your team — the single point of command that every other player rallies around.

The game rewards the player who needs no reward other than the game itself.

Bottom line:

To play for the love of the game means to play for the sake of the game itself — not the rewards and recognition you receive for playing the game.

And here’s the trick:

When your love for the game becomes stronger than your desire for rewards and recognition…

The rewards and recognition come to you faster than ever before, because you are no longer burdened by the weight of “trying” to get those rewards.

After all…

For the true Master, the game IS the reward.

So, in week #7, we will…

• Reconnect you to your deep love of basketball — so that it shines through you, every single time you step on the floor.
• Re-wire your discipline to be driven by your love for the game, NOT your desire for accomplishment — so that hard work becomes effortless (this is the secret to REAL discipline).
• Finally unlock the hidden talent that only comes to the surface when you’re playing in a state of complete enjoyment, pleasure, and dedication to the game itself.

Basketball is NOT life; it is a teacher of life.

Let’s be honest:

Only players of the highest calibre will commit to this Law — and most will ignore it entirely.

After all:

Utilizing what you’ve learned from basketball to become the most powerful version of yourself — both on, and off the court — is far more difficult than any drill, workout, or game you will ever play.

But, if you have what it takes to commit this Law to heart…

Not only will you become the player you are meant to be — but, more importantly…

You will finally become the personyou are meant to be.

So, in week #8, we will…

• Install a simple system for transforming everything that happens on the court into brand new confidence, resilience, and discipline in every aspect of your life.
• Design a crystal-clear picture of the person you are becoming, and the life you are creating for yourself — and, develop a step-by-step blueprint for bringing this “dream” version of you into reality.
• Finally transcend the game of basketball — so that everything that happens on the court (positive or negative) fuels explosive growth across your entire life.
