But the basketball doesn’t know about a twenty four hour cycle. The basketball doesn’t know that once you label the day ‘off’ it’s suppose to miss the hoop more often.
So you can shoot a poor shot or a series of poor shots but the only thing that brings the conclusion of ‘my shot is off today’ is if you believe it. And while it might be easy to believe it when you’ve missed a few in a row, it’s not helpful to believe the day is trashed…and it’s not true.
Here’s a series of bad, better, best…
I’m off today
I’m off today, I’ll try again tomorrow
My last shot was off, this next one is going in
