Learn to "Play Calm" & Take Your Game to the NEXT LEVEL 🔬 

Kyrie imo does this better, he's able to handle the ball get to his spot, do a combination of dribbles then do a move using a his quickness after slowing down, kyrie is truly the best ball handler in the league and possibly ever in nba history

@@CheetoStix14us best to ever do it

Kawhi is the calmest player. Luka always taunt he is control by emotions every game

@Im SuperSage Calm person doesnt show any emotion or expression of how he feels. The calm player was kawhi or steven adams

bruh he isn't, its just his play style that is slow but he isn't the calmest player, the best representation would be kobe.

Yes!. So I've been working on my skills a lot lately and noticed i play quite stiff when practicing alone and even more stiff when playing against real defense, my mind races and im far from calm or dialled into the task at hand. But today something clicked, my fear of making mistakes (perfectionism) made me tighten up, any move i'd do always felt robotic and not fluid, because mentally i just had to get the move down with no mistakes. So i began dribbling side to side and started gradually letting go of my thought/need to not make any mistakes (mistakes like losing control of the ball etc) before i knew it i was fluid and i had full control, focus and concentration on the ball. It was like the ball and myself were one. I could feel everything, from the texture of the ball on my tips. I knew exactly where to place my hands to receive the ball in the opposite hand. I started practicing other moves like behind the back dribble moves, i was making mistakes, yes. But i was getting better a lot quicker than when i was practicing with the aim of "be perfect and dont make mistakes", before i knew it i started getting cocky with it lol my confidence increased because i didn't care if i made mistakes, i didnt waste mental energy on the what ifs. That is what flow is, confidence that everything will be alright even if you fumble the ball, so why sweat it. It allows your entire focus to be on the ball and everything funnily enough feels slower as though you just smoked some green. Anyway, this advice may not work for everyone since the fear of making mistakes is my personal demon but hopefully it helps someone out there. Perfect doesn't exist.

@@darray.I have a very similar problem than you do and I just recently found out about it. Can you tell me how well you able to relax your muscles and fix the problem?

@@ignacioarias10 youve got to be more self conscious/aware. Practice mindfulness, which is basically taking time to analyse your thoughts and you’ll realise there’s a constant thought (usually a fear) that’s making you tense. I think for most it’s the fear of failing which generates a need to make your movements perfect. That’s what makes your muscles tighten. If you just find a way to stop caring and realise that the sooner you allow yourself to fail the sooner you’ll make mistakes and start being conscious enough to notice the mistakes, enough to correct and learn from them. That’s really the best way I can put it, I’ve been on this journey for 2 years mentally and it’s helped my basketball. It’s also why people like Westbrook can make 3’s at a high clip during practice but can’t do the same in game. Fear of failure . Notice how tight his body is in game. That’s tension from anxiety. Side note: it’s really hard to stop caring about failing when youve made certain things like winning or being seen failing mean so much, to the point you’re trying to avoid that feeling for your ego to remain safe

@@darray. thanks i needed to hear this, i hope i can implement it into my game

Good reminder! I'm working on it. Late bloomer to basketball, and as an adult rec ball player and coach I'm always trying to improve and help the youth with some key tips to improve their game and then also transfer to life. "Keep Calm and Carry On" type of mentality. :)

To an extent, basketball is a reaction game, it’s fast so you have to react, think about it as learning to react faster and in control as opposed to slow and then out of control

It just comes with time. I hooped and played soccer in highschool and that was my best trait. Being calm and collected at all times with good vision instantly gives you more value because you are consistent.

Yeah same

A lot of ppl misunderstand it , when you see the court at a better vision when you slow it down and exposing when the defense gives you the opening . The great thing is you’ll never play bad with great hoopers but when playing with players that don’t get it you’ll be shadowed or seen as you’re slowing the ball movement

learn to spell b4 thinkin yk what ur talking ab

Amen

You to!! Amen!🙌🏻❤️🔥🕊️

Meditation before hooping is a cheat code

@@Vortex_Feedz man what when you start getting good at it .. omg .. im on some yoga shi rn just started trying to get as flexible as possible

@@Vortex_Feedz Amen bro, meditation is incredible.

bro its crazy how when your in a good, focused, peaceful state in your mental your feel for the game and focus is on a whole diff level than when you got no discipline outside of basketball

This man really said semen retention

How did you mention them before mentioning Luka first? Luka is the best in term of that

@@welennelew9866 exactly what I was thinking. Luka kept calm in the playoffs with defenders like kawhi and pg on him

@@welennelew9866 honestly guys I don’t be watching luka like that, not saying your wrong though, luka has incredible pace he just wasn’t the first one that came to mind.

@@welennelew9866 how do u not mention Chris Paul first??

@@Kj-gn2ex CP3 doesn't really belong in this category He still looks very agile for his age and he was very fast when he was young On the other hand players like Luka, Shai, and Cade are young bucks but they look even way slower than today's CP3

Yeah I wanna learn to be calm because as soon I get the ball it feels like I'm boxed out and I just pass right away

We all been there bro.We will get to that next level💯.

Most likely y’all won’t

What’s the name of the song

@@robertochieng4436 idk use shazam

But Westbrook is out of control a lot of times tho. Ja is a better example

@@ry_an. i love ja as a player. but westbrook isn’t a small sample size. he’s the most explosive point guard the league has seen for that long of a stretch. in my opinion ja plays more under control than westbrook. those my guys tho 💯

I’ve been asking fr

Bro you got a chance to get to the NBa nigga you better get back on that court

@@joshdagoat9284 bruh im trying lol

Why can’t both be important? Y’all are always trying to find something to disagree with 🤣
