I'm alive Stay in my attention. Let's ride body mind spirit on my line. No limits. No top focus on the moment No clock locked over locked in I want to give you three things that separates average from elite Athletes and I have a lot of insights one of my favorite things about locked over you can watch the locked over video is Number one, which is commitments before I dive into that. I'm really training great right now. I feel amazing I had a great dunk day two days ago. I even jumped a little bit today. Hamstrings are getting better I'm feeling strong. I'm getting into with my body and I want you guys to see that progress So I'll show you those dunks at later in this video after I give you these three tips but the thing about it is What I'm learning so that's what I want to talk about with locked over right now But I want you guys to see those things in action That's why I want to tell you these first and show the dunks at the end But anyway ask any questions you have happy dunk tip Tuesday. Let's get going. So number one is Commitment and I'm learning this again through committing to new habits with October and the goal is 30 days of doing these things some of minor meditation and reading and hamstring stretches And I learned this in 2019 when I really developed really good healthy habits And I haven't had like a challenge like this in a while So it's just reminding me of the the goal the golden nuggets that I love about committing And so one thing about it is for myself even as I wake up at 6 a.m. Right now every day and every time I do it I don't want to at all It's so easy to just hit snooze and go back to sleep But every time I get up and do my meditation and do my reading I feel fantastic and my energy is through the roof So that's one insight of the week. I wanted to share with my own training is that I'm waking up at 6 a.m I used to wake up around 7 7 30 the latest and so now I have a whole hour and a half Extra and what I mean by that is my energy is the same I'm a little more tired when it gets to like 9 p.m. Which is when I try to get to bed anyway But my energy is great. You'll see the dunks. I felt explosive my body's recovering and the main key for that is Waking up at 6 a.m. I'm not gonna really affect my sleep Even though I'm not getting maybe eight hours if you read the book Matthew Walker I have a whole podcast on it while we sleep He talks about your sleep cycles I don't want to get into it too deeply but the first part of your sleep is more about the deep for your body So I really need to get to bed on time. It doesn't really matter if I sleep in if I sleep in I'm not gonna catch up on that sleep that I missed by going to sleep later So by committing to 6 a.m. I have a great routine I start the day off not only with a win But I start off the day super hot and more commitment real quick is that when you commit to a goal It allows you to notice your mind So this is a really deep concept if you commit to something you'll notice and I hope you do Because it's really impactful for you to learn about yourself And that's one thing that really separates average people from elite athletes And what I mean by that is when you have a commitment say you're gonna stretch every day or you want to practice your Handles every day something that's healthy for yourself And you you don't feel like doing it one day and you really say I'm gonna commit to doing it Two things could happen one you end up doing it Hopefully you're motivated enough to just get it done and then you realize wow like my 6 a.m. Wake up I got it done even though everything was telling me not to and what I mean by telling you not to is that we have fears and These doubts that are telling us we shouldn't alright. We're switching to the mic in three two one now We should sound a little bit better. Sorry about that. I like to bring the crisp audio So what I'm saying is what you notice about these commitments those thoughts that come in your head is you could say Oh, I shouldn't stretch today because it's too much or I shouldn't wake up because I need sleep or I shouldn't do my commitment Because whatever reason and those reasons seem logical in the moment But then when you stay committed and you do it despite those doubts and those thoughts in your head You're going to realize that they were just thoughts because your body is a little tired Or you just feel a little bit not in the mood to do it because starting is the hardest part when I make these videos when I Go do anything when you start a new task that starting block is always the hardest part like when I go to the gym I don't want to do my stretches and I don't want to do that. I want to get pumped up. I don't want to do like cardio Work. I'm out of breath. I don't want to fight that your body doesn't want to do that Even though I love the results so much so dunking is easy because it's fun But I don't do the diligent details that I need to do but if I stick to my commitments I get over those little doubts in my head that say I don't need to or whatever number two is patience the quote I'm sure you've heard a million times this hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard And one thing I've really learned about that through this week is or just this October of commitment is how many reps it takes to Get better at something. I'm really using my handles a lot more I'm playing more pick up and I'm using a heavy ball and I've learned so much out for my boy Marcus for Put me on to the heavy ball drills and dribbling drills and staying consistent and since I'm committed I'm in that mode of doing it every day and I've noticed some progress But it just takes time and reps to get so good. Yes, there's natural talent who are good at something But you have to practice to get to that elite level no matter how good you are You have to put a million reps in to make a million shots You can't just get that good at something when you're trying to get to that 1% level of elite Athleticism you can't just jump a few times no matter how bouncy you are You can't be that good at dunks unless you're practicing those dunks So for example, if someone jumps super high, but they've never practiced the behind the back dunk They're not going to be that good at it. Yes, they may be easier to get it done They may take less time, but they still have to practice that movement So you have to practice and that practice takes time your body takes time to recover your muscles take time to develop and that Requires patience which leads me to number three Consistency because you need to fight your body to get better for me I've transformed my body to a place where I never thought it was possible when I was younger from the leanness to Physique to obviously the hops and the hops are just the most obvious one That's why I brought the other ones up first but my point is is You have to be consistent because your body wants to be sedentary you want to lay down your body wants to be stagnant So if you're trying to change it you make the change like say you practice your jumping But then you're going to come back to where you were unless you continue to build on it So you got to stay consistent with it and you got to stay consistent with everything meaning you can't just jump really good and Be have poor nutrition or poor sleep or you can't have good those things are not train hard You have to be consistent in all aspects So not only do you have to be consistent with each one, but you got to be consistent with all aspects of your life So this is something I'm putting together in October I'm dialing in and making my favorite program I've ever created and it's going to be about all these different things from body Mind and spirits that help you separate yourself from your current version of yourself to the highest potential You could possibly be but also separate you from average athletes So you can be a lead as well and I love it and I'm so passionate about it that I hope you guys are excited if you have any questions Or sign up for my email list because I'll be giving updates and insights and getting your questions on that And you can be the first to get it with the discount and the presale so I'm super pumped Welcome to dunk tip Tuesday. Let's get into the dunks last thing I want to say about the insights for my my dunk training this week. I'm back to playing pick up It feels amazing and I have a totally different mindset of the consistency and the commitment of really practicing my handles and my In-game tight dunks, so I'm really seeing progress with that because I always want to jump higher and then work on I'm breaking everything I always want to jump higher and then work on my dribble dunks But I'm noticing every jump every single rep I'm focused and that is a really huge thing about another that's a bonus actually is focus You got to stay focused on what you're doing and think long term But really act in the now so you can focus on your workout because it's really easy for me When I'm in my workout to get sweaty and then just start having fun start jumping But I got to use all my energy in a focused manner So I don't just go all over the place and I'm really making small steps that are adding up So have fun with these dunks. Let me know what you think I'm excited for pick up So stay tuned for five on five and stay tuned for game dunks My latest jumps were so effortless possibly my most effortless dribble dunk attempts on ten feet And it was just a warm-up day. It wasn't a dunk day today. So I think you'll see that. Let's go For talent beats hard work what talent fails the famous quote I'm sure you've heard a million times is hard work beats talent when talent talent felt Jesus the quote I'm sure you've heard a million times as talent fails about hard work. Why am I struggling? Okay? Winning every morning of my life
