When you shoot, throw, hit, a ball – there’s a feeling.  It feels a certain way when you complete that action and you know through that action whether you’ve made a good throw, hit, or shot.  It’s weird when you can’t feel that action.  When you can’t feel that action, you lose the ability to complete an accurate action.

My triceps are still sore.  I think it would have been better by now if I didn’t have to carry Mr. P (story to come) and his big head around for hours on Saturday.  Because my triceps were sore, I couldn’t shoot.  I couldn’t feel the shot.  I couldn’t adjust to shoot correctly because I lost the feeling of how to shoot.  It’s so weird and really lame.  My shots were completely off to the side or short.  Really bad.  Wide open shots.  I can’t believe it.  This happened one other time, after the insanity workout.  My calves were sore for almost 2 weeks and I couldn’t shoot because I couldn’t jump.  All I could feel was pain and not the natural feeling.

It’s such a minor detail but so important.  It’s also interesting because I know the reason why I can’t shoot, yet I can’t control it.  From everyone else’s point of view – well, I must just be having a really off night.

My arm needs to un-sore itself by Wednesday night so I can play better.
