If you are going to reach your potential as a hoopster, you have to develop a committed attitude. By committed I mean, you must be willing to do whatever it takes( legally and safely) to be the best basketball player you can possibly be. Here are 5 ways you can commit that will help you take your game to the next level.
1. Create and stick to a drill session schedule- At least 3 times/ week, commit to a specific workout that involves improving shooting, ball-handling, 1 on 1 moves, defense, etc.
2. Find a basketball mentor- This person could be a current or former coach, a relative, friend of the family or someone whose basketball knowledge you really respect. The right mentor can give you great support and advice on how to get better.
3. Watch a ton of basketball- Watch as much hoops as you can, particularly college basketball. Study how these players move without the ball, set screens, play defense off the ball, get low when driving to the basket, etc.
4. Play pick up ball with those at a similar level or better- You won't get better playing against inferior competition. If you can't play against players close to your level of play or better than you then you are better off doing your own workout.
5. Attend at least 1 summer basketball camp- Why not compete against other talented players and develop new skills? Summer basketball camp can be a great chance to improve on existing strengths and address some weaknesses. Just make sure you choose the camp that will best fit your needs.
