1. Coach, any info on the new TimTam ? Asking for a potential xmas present

2. Like Riddick said shoot til it feels good. Btw I'M THE GREATEST 3PT SHOOTER IN THE WORLD. Js

3. Hello coach ! Thank you very much for all your amazing content. I always thought it was a good thing keep rolling even when tired to try to improve my cardio and work on getting out of difficult positions. Do you think that working on defense should be done while being fresh with positional sparring and that cardio should be improved using exercices other than jiu jitsu ?

4. Also maybe this philosophy of training is in line with yours. But in order to keep improving my shot I have to make the shots increasingly hard or otherwise I'll get worse. Meaning I have to take shots from tougher angles out of tough off the dribble sequences and deeper. Otherwise the interest and focus dies out. It allows for great creativity and doing things that haven't been done b4

5. I've actually been listening to a lot of you and George's philosophy on training. So I typically only give about 55-60% daily. I also follow Bruce Lee's principle of not training so hard that I woud be compromised if i had to defend myself shortly after because of the way that I am currentpy living.

   I am thebover training type though. So I really need to watch it.

6. Stay mindful in all actions it becomes habit, habit becomes behavior. My Sensi says, "only Perfect Practice makes perfect"!

7. Training Just 8 hours a day would take 5 years for 10,000 hours … that’s basically completing apprenticeship IMO

8. I think self-reflection on the hours spent is ideally the path towards mastery. Either that or a coach reflects on things for you or with you and helps your progress

9. I have all the respect for coach Zahabi, he needs to say hello to David Goggins!

10. Thanks for the upload. Bit of an eye opener for me regarding too many sloppy reps.
