...nowhere. In fact, the point guard is often described as your representative on the court. The point guard has to have a great understanding of your wishes and has to be able to translate those wishes into realities on the court. Controlling the pace of the game, having the presence of mind to wait until players are in proper position before initiating plays, recognizing who has the hot hand, and effectively communicating your strategic directions to the team in the heat of the game all fall to the point guard. Since your point guard has so many critical responsibilities, he constantly faces strong defensive efforts to reduce his effectiveness. If the opposition can disrupt your point guard and shake his confidence, they can drastically reduce your team's offensive productivity and get easy baskets off of turnovers. Since you know for sure that your point guards will be facing constant pressure, it is your responsibility to prepare them for it. Here are seven great basketball drills for developing point guards who can withstand and overcome this kind of defensive pressure to effectively lead the team in the direction that you want it to go. Two-pass, Three-second Limit Three-on-two This basketball drill is good for your entire team, but you can certainly use it specifically to hone the decision-making and...

...playable. The game involves different notes which will be falling down from the screen with random letter on it. The player is expected to hit the note with the right key to follow the song with the music playing in the background. The sequence dictated and displayed on the screen must be followed. Correctness in hitting the notes translates to an increased player’s score. Vorderer & Bryant (2012) suggests that games should have different difficulty levels. How good is the player at learning a rhythm? This game will be a real fun as players will try harder to catch a rhythm to feel comfortable that they can try the next level of difficulty. There will be rewards as well as punishment while the player is still playing so as to stimulate the player. The motive of the game is to challenge and test the player’s sense and level of rhythm. This game will be based on the following elements and fiction: test of skill, the utilization of the aspect of timing, loss of points if the player opts to skip a note, tendency of repetition of a song and featuring a rhythm severally in one song. The fundamental fiction in this game is the falling of notes on the screen in relation to expected key presses. Every video game involves user interaction with a human interface to come up with visual feedback displayed on a video device (Berger, 2002). Goals The ultimate goal of any player in this game is to get the rhythm of the playing song through a series of actions – hitting the correct notes. The...

...ball would go through. After becoming more popular basketball was played as a professional level. Different leagues were created such as the Basketball Association of America (BAA), National Basketball League (NBL), American Basketball Association (ABA), and the most recent, the National Basketball Association (NBA). Many critics and fans around the world call the NBA the greatest show on earth. No other league around the world brings what the NBA’s game has brought every season to its spectators. The greatest plays, games, dunks, players, and great passion for basketball, are reasons why the fans keep watching. Fans of other sports associations such as the Federation of International Basketball Association may not notice any changes at all, but the NBA’s style of playing has changed dramatically through the years. NBA basketball has usually kept its popularity with great stylish plays by the players in the league. The changes occurred when players such as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson changed the game during the 1980′s to a guard domination style (in the past the center position had the ball for a longer period of time). Magic and Bird excited the crowds with their new style of play on the court. Their style of play influenced the rest of the league so that the league was forced to change.

...environment in the country; and each corporation’s articles of association. While corporate governance supplies may vary from corporation to corporation, several de facto and de jure factors touch corporations in a similar way. Therefore, it is possible to outline a "model" of corporate governance for a given country. In each country, the corporate governance structure has certain features or basic elements, which distinguish it from structures in other countries. To date, scientists have identified three models of corporate governance in developed capital markets. These are the Anglo-US model, the Japanese model, and the German model. Each model identifies the following constituent elements: key players in the corporate environment; the share ownership pattern in the given country; the composition of the board of directors.

...stakeholders in the United States today. There are many key factors in this organization’s external environment that can affect its success. Presupposing, the two key factors to this are the Franchise Tag which is a tool that the owners use to pay less money to players at the end of their current contract and keep them on that team for the remainder of the season. In terms of a business decision, the franchise tag is a solid move. It prevents a player from leaving a certain team without the team receiving just compensation, but it also pays the player a top five salary at that particular position. It gives the team five extra months to negotiate a new contract in order to retain the player on the current team with a long term contract it is intended as a good faith jester from the team to show the player under this tag that this is what the organization is working towards. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case, and teams basically use the tag now to keep a player hostage. While the players are beginning to hold out, meaning not playing until well into the season in hopes of obtaining a new contract or being released to the free agent market. The second key factor is Free Agency it is, quite simply, someone who is not currently under contract. More interestingly, there are a lot of players in the NFL who are in a nebulous grey area between under contract and a free agent. How can this be?

...develop your players' footwork and stamina. Line up your players at the baseline. When you blow the whistle, the players sprint to the free throw line. They touch the line with their hands and sprint back to the baseline, touching it. From there, they run to the half court line, touch it and then sprint back to the baseline. The process continues until each player reaches the opposite baseline, touches it and sprints back. Lateral Suicide The lateral suicide drill is a variation of the standard suicide. Instead of sprinting, the players move to each line of the court laterally with their knees bent and buttocks low, as if they were defending an opponent. Free Throw Drill Each player shoots and must make ten consecutive free throws. Another player is under the basket to rebound and pass the ball back to the shooting player. This drill is effective when the players have finished other grueling drills so they get used to the experience of shooting while exhausted. Seven-Spot Shooting The seven-spot shooting drill is an exercise to get your players comfortable in shooting jump shots from various areas of the floor. Divide the team into two groups and have each group line up at the corner of each basket. Establish seven shooting positions: starting corner, opposite corners, top of the key, free throw line and three spots on the perimeter. Each player in each group must make the shot in that position before the group can move on to the next position. Two-Player Pass and Shoot ...

...increasing crowded and experiencing shifting trends. To further grow in these industries, both companies need to innovate and take market share away from competitors. As both companies continue to innovate and expand, both company’s growth strategies will be further analyzed. An investment fund’s success is largely measured by three key metrics: Assets Under Management (AUM), fund return relative to its benchmark, and fund ratings. With $180B in AUM, TCW is one of the largest players in the fixed income investment management industry. The company has a strong history of outperforming its benchmark and has garnered high ratings from several rating agencies. However, with the number of investment firms increasing, the three key metrics are becoming increasingly difficult to not only grow, but to maintain as well. The example often given to explain the difficulty is the distinction between a “winner’s game” and a “loser’s game” in tennis. For professional tennis players, wining points entails outplaying the opponent and hitting winners, thereby making their game a winner’s game. However, for the average tennis player, winning points is a loser’s game as players typically focus on keeping the ball in play and waiting for their opponents to make an unforced error. In terms of investments, information is readily available to anyone and everyone while computers execute trades within milliseconds and take advantage of any arbitrage opportunities before any human can react.
