Answer These 9 Questions

Honestly To Find Out If YOU


Have The X Factor In Your Game
X Factor (ex-fact-or) adj.
The unexplainable, almost “magical” quality of a person who performs a
complex task with effortless skill

You’ve seen these players


before:

Every move they make is calm,


smooth, and perfectly timed…

They seem to play without fear or


nervousness, and command the
respect and attention of everyone
in the gym from the moment they
step on the floor.

They can play with relaxed ease, OR with controlled, focused aggression…

…And, the better the competition gets, the higher the stakes are, and the
more pressure is placed on them…

…The better they play.

These are the X Factor players.

These the players who make it in basketball.

And, after almost 8 years years of training thousands of up-and-coming


players from all over the world… Working with NBA stars, pro coaches, and
some of the sharpest basketball minds on the planet… I would go as far as
to say:
“If You DON’T Have The X Factor
In Your Game, Making It To College
& Pro Basketball May As Well
Be Impossible”
But the good news is…

…Just like thousands of our players have experienced first-hand…

…Just like Phil Jackson taught Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant…

…Just like the masters of Yoga and martial arts have known for thousands
of years…

…And, just like science is FINALLY proving:

You Can Train Your Mind


For Natural, Effortless
“X Factor” Performance
First, though…
We need to determine whether or not you already have the X Factor in your
game — if so, how much of “it” you have, so that we can begin teaching
you how to use it at will — and, if NOT, so that we can begin installing,
activating, and then UNLEASHING it in your game, once and for all.

Let’s begin…

QUESTION #1:
You’re in the locker room getting ready for a high-pressure playoff game.
The stands are packed, and your family and friends are in the crowd,
waiting to see how you’ll play. Do you…

A. Feel nervous and a little worried that you’ll play badly in front of people
you care about

B. Push the nervousness out of your mind and psych yourself up by


listening to heavy music and bouncing around the locker room

C. Channel your nervous energy into clear, calm focus and walk into the
gym feeling relaxed and excited, without any of the jitters that being too
nervous OR too psyched up can cause

QUESTION #2:
You catch the ball on the wing. Do you…

A. Freeze up and momentarily forget the skills you’ve built in training

B. Confidently see the floor, face up, and make your attack

C. Already know the floor spacing and what attack to make, without
needing to think about it?

QUESTION #3:
You just turned the ball over. Do you…

A. Look at your coach to see if he’s mad


B. Sprint back on defense and try to find the ball again

C. Know instinctively where the ball is going next, and find yourself already
in a position to recover it — before you’ve had time to beat yourself up over
turning the ball over?

QUESTION #4:
It’s halftime, and you’re sitting in the locker room. You’ve only scored 1
point so far, on a free throw (you missed the other free throw). Your goal
was 20 points this game — and, your team is losing. Do you…

A. Beat yourself up over how poorly you’re playing, and try to “force”
yourself to play better in the second half and (hopefully) score 19 points to
reach your goal

B. Talk positively to yourself, and try to push yourself back into a good
frame of mind for the second half

C. Do nothing. You’ve already forgotten about the first half because your
mind is so focused on the game plan for the second half

QUESTION #5:
It’s mid-way through the 3rd quarter. One of your teammates (who you
compete with for touches, playing time, and respect) is having a huge
game, with 22 points already. Do you…

A. Feel a bit jealous of your friend, hope he slows down, and start wishing
you were playing better than he is.

B. Cheer him on, but try to play even harder yourself so you can catch up
with him

C. Feel no emotion about it at all — just a calm awareness that he has the
hot hand, and try to push the tempo of the game to get him more open
looks while continuing to play YOUR game, and making sure the other
guys on your team are staying involved in the game as well.

QUESTION #6:
You’re heading home after a “bad” game. Do you…

A. Beat yourself up over how poorly you played and wonder why none of
your training is paying off

B. Try to think positively and talk yourself into playing better next game

C. Re-play your errors with a detached, analytic process that ensures you’ll
automatically correct them next game — no hoping, no wondering, and no
“self talk” needed

QUESTION #7:
You’re heading home after a “good” game. Do you…

A. Celebrate, post about your game on Snapchat and Instagram, and


excitedly tell all of your friends how well you played.

B. Tell yourself not to get too excited, and to get back to work. This is the
way you should ALWAYS play, after all… And there’s always room for
improvement.

C. Forget about how YOU played, and walk over to the other player on your
team who had a rough game and let him vent his frustration to you before
giving him some advice that lifts his spirit and re-motivates him to come
back and hit it hard at practice tomorrow. Afterwards, you calmly reflect on
your game, give yourself credit where it’s due and make adjustments where
necessary, eat a good meal, stretch, meditate, and prepare to get back to
work in the morning.
QUESTION #8:
It’s the following morning. You’re heading to the gym for another skill
workout, and you know you have a weight room workout at lunch and team
practice after school. Do you…

A. Feel like basketball is becoming more like high-pressure work than fun…
And question whether or not all this work is actually worth it.

B. Convince yourself that you SHOULD be training, and try to talk yourself
into thinking positively even though every part of you wants to stay in bed.

C. Feel a calm, relaxed excitement for getting back into the gym to refine
your craft… Laughing good-naturedly at the little voice in your head that
tries to convince you to get back into bed, because it doesn’t have a
chance at swaying you from your dream but it still tries to every morning
anyway :-)

QUESTION #9:
You’re laying in bed, reflecting on your place in the basketball world, and
thinking about the goals you’ve set for yourself. Do you:

A. Feel overwhelmed, and wonder whether or not you’ll EVER become the
player you know you can be

B. Think positive thoughts and tell yourself you’ll make it — that basketball
is your life, you work harder than the players around you, and you’ll MAKE
it happen, no matter what

C. Feel no pressure to do anything but continue to focus on the process —


your workouts, your practices, your games, and your mental training — and
let the results come whenever they’re meant to come… Because you know
that the only way to achieve your goals is to focus on what you CAN control
(your own actions) and let go of what you CAN’T control (what the other
players around you are doing, what people think of you, what your coach
does, etc).
Now, Answer Honestly:
If you scored “C” more than 7 times, you already have a well-developed
“X” Factor in your game and all you need to do is continue to learn about it,
practice it, and refine it.

If you scored “C” more than 4 times, but fewer than 7 times, you’re on
your way to becoming an X Factor player, and strengthening your X Factor
is going to provide massive rewards in your game and in your life.

If you scored “C” fewer than 4 times, unlocking the X Factor in your
game is going to completely transform your basketball career… Probably,
beyond anything you could possibly imagine right now.

You’ve Probably Guessed By Now…


An Honest “C” Answer Is Pretty Rare
Fewer than 6% of the players who take
this X Factor Test ever score more than
7 “C” answers their first time.

The players who do are the ones we


call “Naturals” — the players who knew
what to do with a basketball from the
moment they first walked onto a court.

This natural talent, as you know,


doesn’t only exist in basketball…

It exists in every field, from athletics to


artistry to entrepreneurship — and
those who are either BORN with it, or
know how to practice and cultivate it
within themselves are the ones who
achieve true, legitimate greatness at
their craft.
That’s why, when EGT X 1.0 was first released back in 2013, our
players started seeing results that you honestly just can’t get from regular,
on-court training.

Results like:

* A 10th grade shooting guard went from averaging 6 points per game to
dropping back to back games with 7 threes and being moved up to
varsity — and, hitting the biggest game-winning shot of the season…
One week after doing his first series of X Factor exercises.

* A wing player from Canada went from averaging 1 PPG in junior high to
over 21 PPG in high school, and being named one of the top players in
the country, before landing a basketball scholarship.

* A high school point guard went from 3 assists per game to 13 assists per
game while increasing his scoring average from 7 PPG to over 12 PPG,
and his shooting accuracy from 33% to over 40% from 3-point range…
And, could only describe it by saying:

“I Started Making Moves


I’d Never Even Practiced Before…
It Was Like My Natural Basketball
Talent Just Popped Out”
The craziest part was…

…We got these results without changing anything in our workouts.

Our players just watched the EGT X videos, did the exercises, and finally
saw their game unlock — permanently — for the first time.
Of Course, A LOT Has
Happened Since 2013…
…And I’ve spent the past 4
years travelling to more than 25
countries all over the world —
from the temples of India and
Japan, to the jungles of Brazil
and Hawaii, to the head offices
of major corporations in New
York and LA…

…To learn from the true masters


of mental and physical
performance.

And, after thousands of hours of


travelling, training, and
practicing…

…I can honestly say, what we’re about to give you has more power to
transform your game than anything else in basketball today.

Nothing even comes close:


EGT X 2.0 Goes Live This Sunday,
July 16 At 9 AM EST…
…And, when it does, you’ll be getting full access to the program I consider
“my masterpiece”

It’s the first program I’ve released in more than 4 years, and a body of work
that I have completely poured my heart and soul into.

It is all of my secrets to success, distilled down into a practical, step by step


system build specifically for basketball players…

…And I cannot wait to get this into your hands.

This is going to be a huge year for you, and I can’t wait to hear all about
your success this season and for a long time into the future.

Until then, stay tuned… There’s one


more video left before we go live, and
it’s a big one.

I’ll see you then :-)
