4 Simple Ways To Be More AGGRESSIVE In Your Basketball Games

[@hongbow7482]

Most useful and underrated KZbinr thank you Richard for helping me to get into my school team and d1 ❤🎉

[@seanputra6006]

Thx tucker, you're one of the reason I became a starter, before I start studying your videos I'm a benchwarmer

[@TuckerRichardson]

That is awesome to hear, but that is all on you!

[@zanyarzahir4297]

In transition I like going to the in and out or bump euro, and both are great moves not only in transition, but in the entire game. Great vid thanks for the advice!

[@TuckerRichardson]

Agree, in and out could have easily been another option I talked about! Very simple, effective downhill move.

[@ShareefusMaximus]

@12:04 ... 👀 The hoook ! Love it, man! Such an underrated shot. I'm tired of trying to get guys to take it, I don't even bring it up anymore. Study of players scoring without an athletic advantage will for sure indicate that the hook should be learned. Watch enough Adrian Dantley or Steve Nash and you can see exactly how it fits into a face up game. Good work !

[@TuckerRichardson]

Haha thank you, yeah it is an interesting move. Honestly not one I work on much, more just an instinctual play!

[@halfrave]

Thank you Tucker. We had a tournament and I had amazing performances from 3 and was really proud of myself! I had all that because of you m8. Thanks a lot❤

[@TuckerRichardson]

Let’s go, I am proud of you too!

I appreciate that!

[@filippoosss360]

Great tips, I like how you used recent clips in each different category of your breakdown. Solid advice!

[@TuckerRichardson]

Been watching a ton of basketball recently, so excited for NBA to start back up and enjoying EuroLeague action as well!

[@CoasterCommentary]

Currently a bench player but I know I'm way better than that. Trying to get moved up and get more minutes this year by being more aggressive. Love your videos, they help me with my confidence so much

[@AJcoopjohri24]

thank you i have been watching you and i have a tryout soon i will make all of the things you have said in thought.

[@TuckerRichardson]

Good stuff, good luck in tryouts and maybe go check out the recent video I made on tryouts as well!

[@coopershackleford]

Another great video tuck, I've already been using a couple of things in the video, but as always there's something for me to work on, probably mainly my off ball movement and screen usage. I've got the first game of the season tomorrow night, so first opportunity for a while to put your advice into practice.

[@TuckerRichardson]

Thank you my guy! Good luck tomorrow, remember to try and be assertive and aggressive. It isn’t about how many points you score, but changing your mentality.

[@coopershackleford]

@TuckerRichardson game 1 didn't go as well as I hoped, I wasn't getting the ball as much as I would like, and I was just struggling to grip the ball on my drives Hopefully can work on that a bit for next week's game

[@kristinpatel8230]

i have been trying to get better so hard but i haven't been seeing any results these videos are really helping thx tucker

[@WillieMills-sx1zg]

I had a game today and scored 15 points while being super inefficient but made up for it by having 5 blocks and 3 steals even though we won I wasn’t happy with my performance because I know I can do better than that do you have any advice to be a more efficient 3 level scorer? Im 5’8 and 13 and very lanky but not very fast.

[@ItzfoxesMC]

Thank you I needed this really badly as i really need to learn to create my own shot more!!

[@TuckerRichardson]

No problem!

[@blakebrown103]

Thank you for making such easy to understand content. You helped me get from being a 13th man two years ago to a 14 and 14 player last season. Gonna try to get that up to 20 this season. Keep grinding man! Love the vids!

[@TuckerRichardson]

Let's go, glad to have helped in any way! Keep up the great work!

[@DrizzyIsBusyyy]

thank you needed this

[@TuckerRichardson]

I got you!

[@NoPOTATO_Editz]

Thanks for making this video. Most times in games i play i pass the ball when i have a scoring opportunity because i sometimes feel very much pressure. But if the game is already decided i feel free and i score the most then. When i slowly dribble the ball towards the top off the key and my teammates aren't open, my go to move is a delayed between the legs. The defender often shifts to the opposite side im driving. Sorry for the long comment. (btw im from scandinavia and im 12)

[@TuckerRichardson]

Thank you for the comment, I understand this struggle!

[@NoahBChoops]

My go to is that delay tween and it works every time if I give 2 dribble at least before it

[@TuckerRichardson]

That is another great, simple move!

[@Pringleman435]

Thank you so much for the vid, I have a game tomorrow and hopefully this will help

[@TuckerRichardson]

I hope it does, good luck!

[@Maxbecomesgreat]

Hey Tucker, just want to say I love the channel man, and I just wanted to leave a comment because I could really use some of your advice for my future. I'm sure that you have made videos before that could help me, but I just can't seem to find them, and I was really hoping you could make one dedicated to this topic. So I am an 18yr old in college and I have decided to drop out after this semester because I didn't make the basketball team for walk-on tryouts, anyway with this decision I have started training harder than ever before because I plan on trying out for a European professional team in a couple months and your videos are a big help as to what I should be doing. But I am making this comment as a request for you to make a video or even just a simple comment as to how I should carry on about this journey and the best ways of training for professional play (incase i do make it) because I am honestly extremely nervous about how this journey could end up going. Keep up the great videos much love man

[@snoopy8170]

Thank you for all of you videos Tucker. I’m a freshman in high school and tryouts are this week. Your videos have helped me become a better player. What are 3 things I should focus on the most throughout tryouts?

[@TuckerRichardson]

Great question, and I recently made a video on tryouts. I would focus on being aggressive so you can stand out, be an active listener with the coaches to show you can absorb information, and do all the controllables really well (talk on defense, box out, go for offensive rebounds, etc.)

[@snoopy8170]

@@TuckerRichardson Yes sir! I actually was just watching that video this morning! I will most definitely take those into account. Thank you for the advice!

[@mlnt3289]

My tryouts are in 12 days, my school team is the top team in my state Nevada. Theres gonna be over 100 kids trying out and everyone on varsity are D1 prospects, I’m going into my 3rd year with no confidence and last year I didn’t score a single point on jv. I really wanna compete in varsity. I’ve been watching your videos for the past year and they helped me really well. I just feel like I lack the confidence to help me move forward

[@TuckerRichardson]

In that competitive environment, you really have nothing to lose. You have have to go to those tryouts and be assertive and aggressive, not worrying about results. You got this, don't be so hard on yourself!

[@JackLaLone]

I just found your KZbin an I just want to say thank you

[@TuckerRichardson]

Thank you for watching!

[@gabrielhoward-mensahminist478]

Thank you for the video sir but I do have a question for you, how do shift my mind from being passive to aggressive? I struggle with this a lot. There’s times were I play aggressive but most of the times I play passive. This is what I need to work on before tryouts. I know I’m the most skilled player but I struggle to use my moves. I know when to use it because I have the iq but my mental blocks me from performing well.

[@TuckerRichardson]

Yeah it’s tough. You have to constantly be looking to score, constantly trying to make plays. So even if you get stopped, you at least give yourself an opportunity to make a play. As opposed to just moving the ball and not looking to score.

[@blondyn_7]

thanks for the advice :)

[@user-lv4lx4wn4d]

Question what is a highschool and college basketball training week like Monday through Sunday How many weight room days How many days of practice How many days completely off in order to get work done and rest and recover?

[@TuckerRichardson]

It all depends on the week. Let's say you play Wednesday and Sunday. Practice/lift Monday, practice Tuesday, play Wednesday, off Thursday, lift Friday, practice Saturday, play Sunday. That would be a normal schedule, at least when I was at Colgate.

[@AbcMax12345]

[@gleemi]

Everytime I play pick up at a rec centre I always manage to put up 7-10 made shots in 5v5 pick up but in real games like school or aau Im always scared to drive and even miss wide open shots do you have any tips to fix that?

[@TuckerRichardson]

Hmmm...why do you think this shift happens? To stop being scared of taking shots, you have to stop being so caught up in a result of a play. So if it goes in or not. You need to focus on whether or not you made the right play. And it almost every case, taking a wide open shot, regardless of the outcome, is the right play.

[@katieduerson3289]

hey tucker if you could play for any nba team which one would it be?

[@TuckerRichardson]

Haha good question. Honestly I would be happy to play for any team, however my favorite team is probably the Warriors.

[@JoshuaBehoopin]

Do you think about elbow in or wrist loaded while you shoot ?

[@TuckerRichardson]

Not anymore, but when I was working on my form I'm sure I did.

[@TheSportFusionYT]

Tucker, I just have a quick question, when did you start loving basketball?

[@TuckerRichardson]

Hmmm, probably around 4th or 5th grade if I had to guess.

[@ilovetocreateman]

Our team is short . So my coach put me at 4(power forward). I’m 5,7 and wanna to be become a point guard or 2 and 3. I only developed a guard moves. I want to play basketball seriously, but think that I can’t success as 5,7 power forward. What should I do?

[@ilovetocreateman]

But our team point guard is 5,9. The difference between us is that I’m stronger then him

[@TuckerRichardson]

Sounds like you are very young, so you still have a lot of time to work on your guard skills and play guard. As long as you aren’t just standing under the basket and you can do things from the perimeter in games, you will most likely continue to improve your guard play!

[@wesleychow4285]
