Shoot Your Shot
Shooting your shot takes bravery. Shooting your shot takes gumption. Shooting your shot takes the willingness to be embarrassed by the response if it does not go your way. But above all, it takes confidence and the ability to believe in oneself. The novel Shoot Your Shot, by Vernon Brundage Jr., is an intriguing combination of life lessons and basketball. The novel teaches the most important life lessons, while also entertaining the reader with the topic of basketball. This novel is also extremely easy to relate to for many people. Even if the reader does not play basketball, they can relate to the book on some level. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone. One does not have to be a fan of basketball to like this book. To sum it up, the book is entertaining and is very personal; and nothing keeps your attention more than something that directly relates to you.
To begin, this novel explains many different, and important life lessons. The first lesson that is explained is that of believing in yourself. For instance, if you think you are going to miss the shot even before you take it, then you probably will. But, if you stay confident and trust your skills, the outcome will be much better. The other life lessons were just as important. These lessons were explained thoroughly. Each of these lessons were then connected to some aspect of basketball. Although I liked many aspects of the book, there were some components that I did not like. I was not a fan of the overall structure of the book. It seemed to be more of a list than an actual novel at times. I found myself reading this “list” and losing interest. Additionally, I think it would be very beneficial if there were photographs throughout the book. Previously I had read “Mamba Mentality” by Kobe Bryant, and there were many photographs throughout this novel. I enjoyed how there were visual representations about what was taking place in the novel, and I think this particular novel could benefit from the addition of visuals.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in morals. I would also recommend this to anyone who would like to improve their view and outlook on life.

Shoot Your Shot
Shoot your shot is personally one of the better books I have ever read. If one is looking for a life lesson book or some motivation and they also enjoy basketball, this book has your name all over it. It is full of motivation and can help tremendously if someone is looking for that spark they need. There is also a lot of NBA legends in the book that people look up to. This helps because it provides even more motivation knowing someone you look up to has gone through adversity. Shoot Your Shot is a great read.
Summary of the Book (SPOILERS IN THIS SECTION)
Throughout the book, it is sectioned very creatively and it is basketball themed. The book is put in quarters like in a real basketball game. For example, each quarter gives two or three lessons. At the end of each half, it gives a review of everything in the previous two sections. It also gave key points and what to remember from each section. I found this very helpful because it was like saying if the author wanted you to take one thing away from each section, the key point was that. A few examples of the lessons taught in basketball terms were “ See Your Shot Going in Before it Goes in” and “Shoot Your Shot… And Always Follow Through.” The first example shows how everyone should be confident in the goal they are setting for themselves. Nothing is impossible, so be confident you can accomplish the goal. The second example was even when someone fails at something, don’t give up on it. Follow it up with an even better effort and try as hard as one can to accomplish the goal. The life lessons in this book are like no other.
My Personal Take
Overall, I would give this book a five out of five stars. I thought it was very motivational and more people should read it. It was a nice easy read with very well put together thoughts. From the creative way the book was put together in quarters, to the quotes at the beginning of each lesson, the book is a must read.

January 30, 2020I think that Shoot your Shot is a good book. It taught me how to be a better athlete and how to accomplish goals. This book talked about many basketball greats such as, Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Steph Currey, and Kobe Bryant. The author showed how they progressed from being good high school basketball players to the NBA stars that they are known for today. I enjoyed learning about the transformation of ability through training to be the best athletes they could be. I was very into this book because I play sports too and if you practice a lot and consistently improve your skills in your overall game, it can get you very far in your sport.

it’s a self help book, self help books are never amazing. but i fear the author wasn’t meant for writing, this book could’ve been 13 pages long and it would’ve been almost the same he repeats ever lesson in like 14 different ways before going to the next. i have to admit the basketball exemples were very interesting even tho im not a fan of that sport but i think it can be great to reach a younger audience.

I thoroughly enjoyed Shoot Your Shot by Vernon Brundage Junior. I found it inspiring, although the core details of it relating to basketball were not associated with my life, it taught me several important fundamentals and lessons that I will remember for a very long time. It is related to perseverance, taking risks, and not being afraid to keep working hard at something even if it feels like a lost cause. Using several legends in the game of basketball can expose the reader to a mindset of winners and teach them how to have a similar approach to tasks and challenges, which I found interesting. The pacing was perfect for a reader like me, and I would recommend this to any teenage boy reader, as they are more likely to relate to the basketball world. These fundamentals can help any teenager who may need help understanding why not giving up is crucial to personal growth. I would rate it 4 stars, as the pacing felt a bit drawn out to me, but I enjoyed the character depth and development.

A leggyakoribb hibák a futballfogadásban
Egy Seneca filozófusnak tulajdonított római közmondás kijelenti: "Tévedni emberi dolog, de kitartani (tévedésben) ördögi." A futballfogadás világában gyakoriak a pénzbe kerülő hibák. Mindannyian szeretnénk elkerülni őket, ha lehetséges, de mivel ez egy szerencsejáték, nem lehet előre megjósolni az eredményt, és nincsenek biztos módszerek a hibák elkerülésére. Vannak azonban olyan dolgok, amelyeket a játékosok gyakran megtesznek, és amelyek elvesztéshez vezetnek. Nézze meg itt, ha érdekli a sportfogadás és különösen a futball, hogy megtudja, hol és hogyan fogadhat.
A valódi pénzes sportfogadások befizetéshez kötöttek. Ez e-pénztárcákkal, például PayPal és Skrill vagy betéti kártyákkal és banki átutalással történik.
Nem értesz a sporthoz
Csak azért, mert az összes barátod a futballra fogad, nem jelenti azt, hogy minden derbin fogadnod kell, ha nem ismered vagy nem szereted a játékot. Ne aggódj amiatt, hogy nem érted vagy nem érdekli a focit. Ragaszkodjon ahhoz a sporthoz, amelyet a legjobban ismer. Akkor fogja a legjobban megérteni az esélyeket és a piacokat, ha ismeri a sportot és a különböző csapatok teljesítményét. Egy olyan véletlenszerű sportágra fogadni, amelyet nem ismersz jól, garantált kudarc.
A csapatforma és a sérült játékosok figyelmen kívül hagyása
A szerencsejáték nem könnyű út a gazdagsághoz. Keményen kell dolgoznod a sikerért, és ha nem teszed bele a kemény munkát, akkor nem fogsz pénzt keresni. Minden részletet tudnia kell a csapatról, amelyre fogad, valamint az ellenfélről. Sok szempontot figyelembe kell venni, de sok fogadó elfelejti, vagy inkább figyelmen kívül hagyja őket. Az alapos kutatás időt és energiát igényel, de a futballfogadásban az apróságok számítanak.
Banki rossz gazdálkodás
Ahelyett, hogy fejjel előre merülne, és rengeteg tétet kötne tudás és tapasztalat nélkül, kezdje lassan. A kis fogadások nem fizetnek sokat, de ezek jelentik az alapot, amelyre építeni lehet. A kezdő játékos izgalma, izgalma, nagy nyeremények utáni vágya érthető.
Sok új játékos katasztrofális hibát követ el, hogy játékköltségvetése nagy részét egyetlen fogadásra költi. Az egész bank elvesztése 1, 2 vagy 3 fogadással, különösen, ha még új a futballfogadás világában, nem kellemes élmény. Bölcs dolog lenne beállítani egy százalékot a banktól, amelyet nem léphet túl fogadáskor. Ez a százalék lehet 2, 3 vagy 5%, de semmi esetre sem haladhatja meg a 10%-ot. Így például, ha 100 eurót különített el játékra, akkor egyenként 10 eurós fogadást tehet. Nagyon valószínűtlen, hogy minden tétje veszít, így biztos lehet benne, hogy befektetésének legalább egy részét visszakapja. 10 € fogadás. nem hangzik lenyűgözően, de néhány sikeres fogadás után megnő a bankrollja, és ezzel együtt a megtett maximális tét is.
Kerülje a kedvenc csapatára való fogadást
Ha statisztikák, logika és megalapozott döntések alapján fogad, nagyobb esélye van jó és nyereséges fogadásokra. Ha azonban szubjektív okok miatt fogadsz kedvenc csapatodra, és arra vágysz, hogy fogadással támogasd a csapatot, a dolgok gyorsan lefelé fordulhatnak. Az érzésekbe és érzelmekbe való beavatkozás a fogadásban a legbiztosabb módja a veszteségnek. Ha nem tud fogadni kedvenc csapata ellen, akkor lehet, hogy a futballfogadás nem az Ön számára való. A futballra való fogadás a statisztikák, a logika és a fegyelem játéka, ezért a következő fogadás előtt tegye félre haragját és érzelmeit.

ESport: A technológiai fejlődés élvonalában
Az esport vagy az elektronikus sport óriáscéggé vált az online szórakoztatás világában. A játékosok a világ minden tájáról versenyeznek olyan virtuális arénákon, mint a Fortnite, a League of Legends és a Dota 2, hogy nagy pénzdíjakat és dicsőséget nyerjenek. Egyre többen tekintik ezt a fajta sportot pénzkereseti lehetőségnek, valamint a szórakozás új formájának.
Sportfogadás: Tudod a nyertest?
A sporteredményekre való fogadás mélyen gyökerezik a szurkolói kultúrában. Az online fogadás megjelenésével pedig ez a fajta szórakozás még könnyebbé és elérhetőbbé vált. Labdarúgó-mérkőzések, kosárlabdaversenyek, teniszversenyek – a lehetőségek végtelenek. Okosan és tájékozottan fogadva a résztvevők jelentős nyereséget érhetnek el.
Fantasy Sports: Legyen saját csapatmenedzsere

A fogadástól a fantasy csapatokig, az eSporttól a jótékonysági rendezvényekig végtelen a nyerési és részvételi lehetőség.

In this book, very important life lessons and messages are brought up by using basketball analogies to relate to the reader. This book definitely made me change my mindset about certain things in life and taught me valuable lessons. One thing that I found unique about this book was how in each chapter there were many different examples of professional basketball players to help demonstrate the points being made. These examples were not only inspirational, but also relatable because they showed how some of the most successful pro athletes overcame obstacles in order to get to where they are. I took away many different things from this book that will help me in the future. The book also talked a lot about success and how it looks different for everyone, so people should chase their goals and dreams in order to achieve success. Another thing I enjoyed about the book is how each chapter specifically covers one of the topics/ lessons that the author wants to share. This makes the book feel very organized and easy to follow. In addition, the language used in this book isn’t very difficult to comprehend, which makes it a lot easier to really understand the important messages and deeper meaning. Furthermore, the author does a great job giving the reader direct steps they can take in their own lives to achieve success, which is helpful for the reader so that they know exactly how they are going to pursue whatever it is that they want. Also, there were many important messages, but one that really stuck with me is that you need to take ownership of your actions and decisions in order to achieve success, rather than making excuses or blaming other people for your actions. This idea definitely changed my perspective on things because sometimes people put the blame on other things just to tell themselves that nothing was their fault. However, by acknowledging your own mistakes, you will grow and become better at whatever it was that you didn’t at first succeed in. If you are looking for some motivation or you want to improve as an individual I would definitely recommend Shoot your Shot to people of all ages.

Dear Vernon Brundage Jr,
There is definitely no more dust on my “brand-new” book. I have been eyeing the basketball laden cover of Shoot Your Shot, for about a year but now it is time. Truth be told, I felt like I was between the book and the NBA games as my usual approach as a fan was entirely watching the game for entertainment. However, as I watched and read, I felt sports- inspired as I not only heard their stories but my love for basketball grew stronger as teachable moments blossomed. I’m so ready to add sports history to the curriculum as personal development is rooted in the stories of others.
The best game highlights I noted were:
🏀 Pregame Lesson- You miss all the shots you don’t take.
🏀 First Quarter- Nothing outside of yourself has the power to dictate your life.
🏀 Second Quarter- See you shot going in before you shoot it.
🏀 Half Time Lesson- Protect your path and vision by any means necessary.
🏀 Third Quarter- Only sit at the table with those who have the same appetite as you.
🏀 Fourth Quarter- Without trials, you are incapable of knowing what you are truly able to accomplish.
Truly thankful for the insight,
~Atinas

Shoot your shot. If you want to succeed you have to shoot your shot. If you want to have the best life possible you have to shoot your shot. This is one of those books that not only talks about how other people achieve, but it inspires others to dream big and to shoot their shot to achieve what they want to achieve. From hardships with family to messages from the bible, this book is the best book to read to inspire you that I have ever read. As you read this story, you can see imagine a boy from Greece who found his way to the bottom, homelessness, to becoming a back-to-back NBA MVP. You can find a coach who served in the military and is now considered one of the greatest of all-time. This book has everything a reader could have in sports, non-fiction, but most importantly inspiration. The message of the story told by many NBA players is to never quit on your goal no matter the cost. This may seem common, but the way they tell their stories is like reading out of the Bible. Maybe that is why there are verses of the Bible in the book. There are several events told in this that are very heavy and very disturbing, but the overview of the book is a book that makes you believe that you can do it. This is a book I would highly recommend to anyone, not because of the people in the book, but the message it presents about perseverance and working hard to achieve your goal.

The author Vernon does a great job of relating the book to an average middle-lower class African American child growing up. He details examples from his personal life and how basketball has played a big role in where he is today. A lot of individuals are uncertain of what career they want to pursue as they get older. Several analogies and basketball references are used throughout the book to keep you engaged whether you are a basketball fan or not. It encourages you to stop making excuses out of fear and uncertainty and execute on your goals to reach your untapped potential. My favorite quote from the book is in Chapter 3 where he mentions, "Convenience kills dreams. Persistence fuels them.” Take control of your life, sacrifice when needed, don’t confused talent with skills, be accountable for your mistakes, and shoot your shot for all of your dreams. I 100% recommend this book for any athlete that is questioning whether their goals are reasonable. It will help them realize that anything is possible.

Shoot Your Shot is a great book with a lot of lessons in the book. I really like how it splits it up into quarters just like a real basketball game and in the "quarters," it has two or three lessons. It has a "half" too where the lessons are reviewed. I also like how this book talks about these elite basketball players and how they applied the principles they stood on to their lives. These principles that were brought up can be used in anybody's daily life and this is what Brundage Jr. does a good job in applying. No matter what kind of life you live, you can use these principles to help you become the best person you can possibly be.

It helped me learn how to be more determined and confident.

January 13, 2020It was a cool book and I liked that they talked about different superstars each chapter in the book. I really like this book because of how cool it is and how creative it is. My favorite chapter was The one with Michael Jordan and how he was one of the best NBA players of all time

There are two big things I took from this, the visualization study and the part about holding your L. It’s a solid book and easy read especially if you know basketball. We gave this book to all of our youth in our nonprofit youth program for them to use it as a tool in constructing their future.

This book was extremely inspiring, especially for people like me who are always looking to improve. It was very practical and original. Would’ve given it 5 stars if it didn’t mention law of attraction. I just don’t agree with that doctrine, everything else was pretty spot on.

I definitely enjoyed this book. Broken down by game quarters. 14 chapters of gems connected to life and the different skills of the game. I definitely appreciated the halftime and end of regular game companion.
I definitely recommend this for all teenagers and adults.
