BRUTALLY Honest Advice For Basketball Players

[@ekowagbonyitor9212]

Thank you for bringing reality into my soul, I'm an upcoming Freshman and I feel like ohh I have 4 long years in HS I have all day to train, but this HS thing end in a blink of an eye, and I've come to realize your future really matter on what you do right now.

100%. It will go by super quick and your opportunity will be gone before you know it if you don’t seize it while you have it

[@pierreshotthat]

real i was just a freshman now im a rising junior...

[@nokizzypodcast6364]

I’m 20 years old trying to be semi pro, not gonna give up

[@StartRightBasketball]

Bring the right attitude and you’ll be surprised the opportunities that come you way!

[@tjltraining]

100%, there is no benefit to having a bad attitude and outlook

[@shadowolf3247]

I needed to here this. I'm 16, and still haven't made my high-school team. Freshman year is because I never knew when stuff were, sophomore year is the year that brought my mind to reality that this is the real deal and was deemed not good enough. Heading into my junior year now with confidence

[@tjltraining]

Glad to hear that, keep pushing and train smart

[@Magzfj]

Needed to hear that. I'm a young hooper who's trying to figure out what to do with my career and how I can get better than my peers this really helped

[@tjltraining]

glad to hear it helped!

[@NubIsLaughing]

please make more videos like this. Not many people online this raw

[@tjltraining]

I gotchu, that’s my goal, any specific topics you want covered

[@collinthornhill3526]

Great advice! You should do more videos like this (and the other about “you don’t want this as much as you think you do”).. I played it for my kids. I also appreciate the science-based approach you take like the CLA with small-sided games, etc.

[@tjltraining]

Thank you very much, will definitely be doing another one of these!

[@davitkvachantiradze211]

Definetly needed this. Thank you coach

[@tjltraining]

Yessir

[@GodisKing-]

Good advice! As a young hooper myself, I get it and it gets me looking at these basketball opportunities from a different perspective. I’m gonna keep working tho💪

[@tjltraining]

Yessir

Thanks for the tips coach i have another question the questions is that if i know what to work on how to organize it for the whole week for example im working on my shot,left hand and defense but idk how to organize it and how to work on that skills for now im doing the shooting workout and a finishing workout that u posted with left hand drills but idk how to organize them like should i work on these these day should i do the same thing the whole week

[@tjltraining]

Spend majority of your time 80% by yourself focused on your shot, then whenever you have defense, work on shooting with defense, and then playing on defensive side as well. Off hand is 5% of your focus here and there in small sided games. Just focus on time on task spending that percentage of time focused on what you need to work on

[@AdamFields-u1z]

The "you don't have time" part is the truth. I never reached my potential because I didn't learn how to train wisely at an early age, and didn't start working hard until high school. I'll go to my grave knowing that I never reached my basketball potential, and I would have done some things differently if I had a chance to do it over again.

[@tjltraining]

Definitely a hard thing to come to grips with, exactly why I’m trying to tell other young players the truth

[@nel8783]

“You don’t need this sexy, cool new drill”😂 my new favorite quote

[@tjltraining]

lol it’s facts

[@moussatoure5550]

Coach should I still do off the dribble shooting workouts even though im working on my shooting mechanics or nah?

[@tjltraining]

The sole focus should be on fixing your mechanics before you try to apply it

[@adamkulka144]

Very smart advices 👍

[@Kejoho17]

damm seems like its going to be a tough road but i am willing to go with it. i am 19 years old and had some injuries and i am not the best hooper also i am in a tough position. thanks for uploading this honest video. i know how to go forward now.

[@tjltraining]

Glad to hear it helps, we made another version of this video with different tips I think can help you

[@moussatoure5550]

Also coach what should I do im 16 and just started taking basketball serious and want to play college bball what should I do to reach that goal and am I 2 late

[@tjltraining]

It’s possible but going to be very tough. Don’t have time to waste

[@isidoragavrilovic4945]

@@tjltrainingim 16 too and started playing few months ago is it possible to make it to collage bb?

[@RoelCampoverde]

The first one is so real but I dont know how to overcome it. There some many drills "moves you need to add to your bag" "elite shifty workout" vids on the internet. I'm 13 yo going into gr8 and this summer my goal was to grind non stop the only thing holding me back was i didnt have a weekly training plan/schedule. And i believed my training shcedules and workouts have to be absolutly perect. So in the process of creating one i over think so much about whether coach p or hennen workouts dribbling drill was better. Whether how should gym days be spilt. I over think the training plan so much. And im really stuck?

[@RoelCampoverde]

Im so whether if the plan i create is not right as my time is limited what should i do

[@randymayo7463]

Can you made a video about juco college that can help thank you?

[@tjltraining]

What about it

[@randymayo7463]

@@tjltraining you can talk about what is like to be a juco athlete if you trying to go to a higher college program

[@Itssmyles-bz3dy]

Is it possible to still reach my full potential as a player if I don’t have access to small sides games? I’m in high school and I am homeschooled so I don’t have a lot of people to train with.

[@tjltraining]

Going to need it somehow to optimize development

[@mattiabruni2511]

Coach im 17 almost 18 if im not from US at what age u think its pretty much over for me?

[@tjltraining]

Maybe around 21 if you are not getting looks or any opportunities

[@davidpenas4719]

Hey coach, I live in barcelona and this season i will be playing in copa catalunya(i am 18) or the fifth spanish division. and i got 1 more school year and i cant rely on getting a scholarship since im not from usa. Is it possible for me to slowly move up until i reach the first division? Im 6’5 can do basic dunks and my skills are intermediate at the moment(nowhere near pro). I have been playing for 2 years and i dont know if its possible but i keep working everyday on it. Do you think it is?

[@tjltraining]

It’s definitely possible, you don’t have time to waste though and you need to train smart and efficient if you want to make it

[@yuragolovin7964]

@@tjltraining how do i know for sure its smart and efficient?
