You’ve likely heard the expression “reach into the cookie jar” as it relates to basketball. But reaching into the cookie jar has no impact on the ball. The ball has already left your finger tips.
So why the expression?
The action you take after the shot is indicative of how well the action before it was.
That’s why golfers are told to follow through. Why editors are told to read aloud. Why motorcyclists are told to look where they want to go. Why weightlifters are told to exhale.
To not do any of those is to slow down or incorrectly perform the action which has the most impact.
Don’t miss the bucket because you thought you could skip reaching into the cookie jar.
Stay Positive & Follow Through, Whatever Your Art Is
