Doing everything right, even in the off months will not hurt you. If you have practiced perfection until it has become a habit, then your mechanics (and other facets) won't fall to pieces when the heat gets turned up.

I agree, and if I worked basketball in the summer, I'd be working to do just what you said.

What I said earlier, though, is the reality everywhere I lived. You'd get offered 5 games or none at all. So you have to decide whether to go all out for 5 games or cut some corners. I don't do this stuff anymore -- summer's baseball season for me. Fall's football season.
