This is awesome, bro. I'm left handed too but I played a lot of sports right handed. I'm 40 now but I've often thought that I should have been throwing, batting, and shooting basketball lefty. I haven't tried it yet but I plan on it bc I mangled my right hand in a work accident, so if I ever wanna shoot hoops again, it'd HAVE to be left-handed. How did you end up all turned around when you were a kid?
That sucks you had that accident man! But it may be the time to see what it’s like shooting hoops and doing other activities lefty now. A beautiful process. When I was young, I was always told I did things awkwardly or not as natural. I had to work really hard to become smooth & coordinated. Once I switched lefty I started doing things I never did lol
@SababuJones Dude, same here. As a kid I felt super awkward shooting right- handed layups, even tho I played the sport right handed. Coming off the correct foot for a left handed layup always felt more natural. And I batted right-handed in baseball, but my left- handed batting stance was much more comfortable and fundamentally sound. Weird stuff huh.
🔥Earned ur 719th Subscriber! hey man i wish the best for you in your basketball journey to the NBA, however i have a question. sometimes when i play basketball against my team during trainings, i feel scared to use my true skills infront of people when they are watching because i think i may fail, what can i do to fix this? also sometimes when dribbling the basketball i lose the ball because it touches my palm and i lose the ball. How can i fix this and what parts of my hands should i use to dribble the basketball?
Much love man 🎹🎶🥶🔥 & I got you, hear what I say: 1) From now on when you practice by yourself, with the team, and doing regular things in life… practice doing everything with more confidence. Even if it doesn’t feel real, do things that a humble but very confident version of you would do. 🎸 2) You know you have the true skills, so now practice your skills even harder & better to build even more confidence 🏀 3) From this moment on, you are becoming a more bold, confident player. Tell your fears that you weren’t born with a spirit of fear, but of one of love, power, and a controlled mind. Everyday you work to have a stronger mentality and you build up the confidence of the people around you Bonus: take notes after every training and take notes of the moments you didn’t be your true self and take notes saying the good things you did Dribbling is mainly using your fingertips and not using the middle of your palm. And dribbling really hard while practicing. I have 2 dribbling advice videos on my channel if you’d like to check them out (starting with the shorter one first) 🙏🏾🌊🎶
@@SababuJones AY man thanks you soo much, i will keep on practicing ball handling but most importantly your tip of telling me that i should tell myself that i am a confident warrior and was born to be confident/fearless really helped me out in training. the court seemed much larger, i could drive without worrying and my shots were falling as a scored on teammates!
Hey SJ what do you recommend for me to get hops, as much as I wanna get into the gym, I ant old enough and really I have is stairs to do plyos on and just some space to do no weight leg workouts. What really helped you get some bounce?
What's up bro, I've been planning to make a video to answer this with detail. For now though, know you don't need weights at. My dad started training my jumping when i was younger by making me jump as high as I could on every single layup until I was smacking backboard every time. And a lot of calf raises. Until I make the video, I recommend just doing a lot squats, lunges, calf raises and tibia raises pushing hard every rep. And if you have room, go outside or in an area and jump high as you can 5-10 reps then rest. Repeat. Jump squats are good too. Just make sure to get actual jumping in because that's the main goal.
Thats a good question. I wish I had more help online and in person to learn this, but I no now how to. I’ll start writing down the script to the video rn 🙏🏾🙏🏾 But for now, 1. watch videos on shooting form and master your form 2. Practice dribbling from the pick and roll (do it simple for now) 3. Work on your quickness & agility 4. Become a knockdown shooter and/or an elite driver & finisher Video coming soon. I’ll show how ⛹🏾♂️
@@illovetohoop hey fam, I need some more time to finish the video but it's definitely coming soon. Keep working on the things I said, become great fundamental dribbler (I have a video on my channel for fundamentals), and make sure to get conditioning training at a fast pace because guards do a lot of moving
Maaaan!🔥 That is such an inspirational video💪🏿 Thank you for it! ‼NEVER GIVE UP!‼ And you make very nice beats too, I'll check this from the video just when you drop it👌🏿💪🏿

We’re not to be idols, I lean on God to give me strength through my weaknesses. Thank you though for your support ❤️❤️ I hope I can inspire and help with my journey
