Monday Morning Musings on the World of Sports, Coaching & Physical Education from Editor, Dick Moss. The NFL is a Great Sport Psychology Lab
Your editor discusses a young football player, put under incredible pressure after two blunders, who rises above adversity. It's one of the best things about observing sports. //www.physicaleducationupdate.com/peblog/
Each week, I'll highlight an article that I think is really useful. The article will be available to non-members of the website for a week, and to members forever! This week's pick is: Basketball - Eye Focus Research for Foul Shots
Research has shown that the eye focus that occurs during the foul shooting motion is not as important as the eye focus that occurs immediately before the shot is taken. A pre-shot routine for improving free-throw accuracy is provided.
