#245 3-point shooting and Jiu Jitsu

Have you ever marveled over the 3 point shooting of an amazing talent such as Steph Curry? It is a beautiful thing to watch him being guarded by one and occasionally two players before throwing up a seemingly impossible shot only to watch it float right through the net. What you should know is that even for the best shooter in the game, he averages about 40 percent of his three pointers throughout the season leaving us with a couple takeaways. With the best in the league touting an average of 4 out of 10 3-pointers never allow yourself to be discouraged by successfully executing a Jiu Jitsu technique 2 out of every 10 attempts. The other key takeaway is that to reach the level he did, he never allowed a miss to influence him. In Jiu Jitsu, just because you failed that does not mean the technique is not useful, rather you should continue to attempt it repeatedly until overtime you begin to develop a deeper understanding of it and it’s parts. Maybe one day you will even gain a reputation as being one of the most successful when attempting that move.
