We all have moments where we try to shoot our shot directly—a straight line to our goal. We want the perfect career, the ideal relationship, or a smooth path to success. But sometimes, life doesn't allow for a clear, straight trajectory.
That's where the wisdom of the "bank shot" comes in.
In basketball, a bank shot isn't a fluke. It's a calculated move where the player deliberately uses the backboard—the bank—to guide the ball into the hoop. It's an acknowledgment that the most efficient way to score isn't always the most direct.
Turn your obstacles into your backboard. Embrace the detour, don't be afraid to look away, practice your touch.
If my boys find this and read it remember; life rarely hands out easy layups. Sometimes, the most beautiful, game winning shots are the ones that take an unconventional bounce. When youy find your direct path blocked, remember to use what's in front of you- the failures, the rejections, the detours as your backboard.
