How To ACTUALLY Get Better at Basketball.. 

Honestly just playing around with people better than you can get you so much better

Thank you so much for making this video. It’s the off-season so I’m looking to get better going into my freshman season where I can hopefully earn a spot on varsity. Variability is something that I haven’t previously had in any of my workouts because I was just doing the same stuff everyday. Since ballhandling is something that I need to get better on I didn’t realize that I needed to add different components to it instead of just doing basic things not moving. So thank you for this and hopefully I’ll start to improve much for than I previously had.

Great vid coach! Learnt alot

this is pure gold.

Hey coach thank you for this appreicated you man.

Thanks you so much so posting this all of your videos help me out a lot

my handling and finishing are the two things I need to work on the most and they've barely improved the last 2 years

yo, thanks for the video. this could not have come at a better time. I'm a 14-year-old kid who wants to go to the NBA when he's older, I decided that's what I wanted to do with my life just a year ago. I tried to make the JV team for school and failed, and after playing another year of modified basketball I decided to try again and practice every chance I got, but now watching this, I realize I wasn't doing it right. Also, I'm in a cast for 5 weeks due to a broken wrist, so thanks to this video, I can better plan for the summer to hit the ground running when I get my cast off on July 17th. Thank you

Tht guy in sweatpants is soooooo toughhhhh🔥

These mans were battttlingggg in the background 😳🫡👌🏽🙌🏽

Thank you a lot for making this video I’m a freshman and I’m looking to really get better and get my confidence up I always had issues with going out and performing due to fear of failure but Everytime I watch your videos it gives me confidence to go and work harder next time I’ve been working on reading my defenders and handling pressure while on the ball do you have any drills or tips on how I can get better at those and as well as like tips for how to get rid of the fear of failure as a lot of times I find my self playing extremely safe since I feel like I’m gonna mess up please and thank you

Yooo thanks bro ima use this, it’s almost summer break so ima have a lot of free time and I plan on practicing a lot of basketball because I’m just average rn and I wanna become better, because I rlly wanna take it to the pros

i thought the dude was doing an intro and ended up just watching the 2 people play not knowing he was talking how to get better

The main problem for me with this is I have no one to train with and decision making is arguably the most important thing to work on

Some days I can train for hours but some days it’s rainy or wet so I can’t train it all so idk what to do

Thanks so much for this vid. I wanted to ask what will be a good way to improve my midrange shot and fluidity without defense or contests and still make it game like

Play your role that’s how you will get better or be a role player

For this, I need to get my shooting great, like off-the-dribble shooting, pull-up J's, etc,. Also, my handle isn't great and I need to train that extensively to be able to score

We lost a final and ref played me for 20 secs at the end when they were up by like 8 just so i dont feel bad. I gotta get better

a week off cause of knees hurting is wild

So I would say a summary is staying consistent and practice where it’s actually challenging?

and for variability if i make my reps still look like a game but my reps are creative and differnt each time for example im workong on 2ft finishes i can just make it i get into the shot differnt or o do differnt moves to get to the shot

Thanks bro i wanna be a better defender but dont have other people to play and train with is there any way for me to practice my D

i can shoot and i work on my shot everyday but it feels like my jumpshot feels different eveytime i shoot it and sometimes its good or sometimes it just misses really badly i want to get a jumpshot that feels the same everytime

Do think i could get a shooting workout under pressure by myself?

Tysm and I have a question. I'm training at high speeds because I need to get comfortable with that and I'm wondering what you think. I will pushing myself, almost messing up every time and when I shoot i will try to shoot quicker with good form and act like there is a defender. What are your thoughts?

Is there a work out or drills I could to get better at dribbling under pressure? Thank you

Hello I got a question we are supposed to work hard on the same thing everyday but when we are done do we just switch into another thing or we keep working on it but less

I try to work on my skills during pick up for I can make 5 on 5 reads like it’s real game

If I want to get 500 makes a day and it takes long because I have to rebound myself but also want to add variability like you said, what would you suggest that I do so that I can get 500 makes while those are quality so that I can maximize my shooting improvement.

Is there a way to get better at contested finishing/shots without a person to work with?

So I’m good with individual training. I know how to challenge myself, variability, pressure, etc. But I just lost my workout partner, what should I do?

HOw do i shoot with defence if i have no one to play with

How can I find mistakes in my shot, when I go on the court to practice I feel like I just turn off my brain and shoot and can never identify the root cause of my mistake.

What about defense

what about injury. when i shoot a lot, my wrists start to hurt

I need to improve in everything how can I work then? Like if im focusing in finishing, i would not be better at shooting or ball handling

i'm not sure i entirely understand. if you're supposed to focus on super specific things, how are you able to cover a wide variety of things if you're also supposed to stay consistent and not switch up your workouts? this is not a criticism, i'm just wondering.

Can i still get good work like this if i dont have defense

Hey there coach, please i need your help from the bottom of the heart. So last night there was a detroit pistons game against the hawks and something unexpected happend. And that is when malachi flynn dropped 50 points🔥 OFF THE BENCH, this is absolutely crazy, can you please make a video how he did it and how can a bench warmer drops +20 or +30 points to prove my coach wrong. I live in morocco and there's no basketball quality in here and i am really sad. So i am a bench warmer who still haven't even dropped 2 points not even my first buckets and only play 1 minute in the 4th quarter, i have the worst basketball team and the worst teammates and my teammates just wanna joke but i am serious about basketball and i really wanna get better, sometimes they bully me and hate on me for being that bad and i really wanna learn cuz i swear on god there's no basketball quality in here, so pleasd help me prove my coach and shut my teammates up and become a valuable and a great team leader. And thank you

How do I work on that? 1:03

What if I need to improve everything

My first time playing was pretty bad, so i watched this and i figured what i need to work on, hopefully I can now get better and play with my older cousins 😂😂😂

Just hoop against hoopers better than you. And hoop often, like everyday. Learn from losses, bad games and mistakes.
