Ok

[@icecoldandrewbaxter8348]

What your saying is absolutely true, whenever I just tried sooo hard to succeed that is what was stopping me in the first place, I would find myself exhausted and mentally weighed down, and I started questioning if its worth pursuing basketball at the College level, I am currently getting close to decision time and I am improving when it comes to the game itself but i don't know what to do if that scholarship doesn't come, I am trying to avoid student debt at all costs, and I've been thinking maybe I should walk on, take a year and work even harder and try again? I'm not sure if anyone has advice I am open, please share!

All of these ideologies that have been mentioned on this channel directly relates to everything else in life. Coach Taylor obviously is talking about basketball but you can literally apply this to a job, a relationship and just overall life. Not only will these thinkings improve your way of playing ball, but you way of living as a human being as well. Thank you coach for teaching what you have learned through the years!

[@kingworldadventures]

Indeed

[@icecoldandrewbaxter8348]

Im loving the deep game lately, its really opened up a new world to me in basketball, and I can see myself getting better and better, I started talking to someone and I got de-tached as well in a way and talking to this person helped me love the game more😌

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Awesome to hear Andrew!

That's totally me I want to get so much better I work so hard I wake up 6 in the morning I see progress but some people who dont work as hard they better

[@bball3048mm]

Funny this video came up in my recommended list. I swore I quit competitive basketball 4 years ago because I was and still am trash. I make it a habit to avoid playing 1v1 or against people in general. I shoot around by myself and have been doing that since 2019. Just 2 weeks ago, I was shooting around in a gym and was challenged on a 1v1. I told him I was trash and he replied he was too. I reluctantly played him. I was so loosy goosy and gave it 40% effort. He matched my energy and he went accordingly. We were playing up to 5 in ones only (no 2s or 3s). I ended up beating him 5-4. The important thing is I didn't care whether I won or lost. The detachment led to my contentment. Now I am back on a deserted basketball court goofing around by myself doing goofy shots because it's what makes me happy. Using basketball body movements for fun. I love the comparison of the unconditional love of a mother to a child and the attachment of a jealous lover. The latter is exactly how I feel about basketball. I played for the reasons that were for vanity and material reasons. I am trying to become the former. I will continue to shoot hoops alone but be detached to the outcome of the training.

this is so true, I'm a serious player but I dont have enough proper training, while the non serious players have more experience so they are naturally better

[@emilismajevskis2220]

Feel you, bro

[@kray97]

I always hit the nicest perfect shots when I'm not even trying to shoot well. It's when I try to shoot well, that I shoot the worst.

[@MontariMusic]

thank you so much this helped me a lot i've been wayyyy to attached to the game of basketball to the point that i have mental issues and overthinking about the game that i love the most. This video is something i need today and i am very much grateful to find this channel and this video specifically :)

[@cedricasdfghjkl9151]

I know this feeling. There are persons that I know I am more serious than them in Basketball (and better to be honest, I beat them always in 1on 1s, and have a much bigger impact on the game when I rewatch it), and I still get overshadowed really often, and I was always wondering why.

[@stephengrzybek9458]

I detached from the game for 2 months, no grind, no schedule and I was so much better when I came back

[@wano1216]

it always feels lile tracy mcgrady was never trying. he did everything so effortlessly

[@ec2saucy]

A perfect example of detaching from the basketball is the game that Klay missed practice and then ended up scoring 60 pts

[@cedricasdfghjkl9151]

I also had knee surgery 5months ago, and 4 months after it I went 2 times out to shoot a bit (without jumping of course), and my shot got only slightly worse maybe, or it even stayed the same. I am not shooting since these 2 times I went out, because I want to allow my knee to get healthy and give it a lot of time to recover, and I basically just lift weights and do my leg exercises. I am feeling free right now, and I am regaining the love for the game itself (because of you, and you helped me regain that 200%) and can't wait to play again and have fun. I can't wait to face the challenges that are in the team. To face better opponents and grow.

I’m actually after this 2 week break and I can feel this freedom and love coming from the game. In past i had this mindset “if i lost one day without basketball my all skills would be gone. Now I’m so greatness for this deep game work, I’m learning a lot and my mindset is very different. Thanks again for all the support and advices you’re telling. ❤️( i’m sorry for mistakes if i made it , i’m from poland :D)

Great example of this is lamelo ball vs Julian Newman

[@mrsir8179]

[@ScumBA445]

I’m intrigued can you elaborate more

[@basketball3472]

@@ScumBA445 lamelo ball is a more fun player. Julian Newman has a better work ethic than ball. Don’t get me wrong lamelo has a good work ethic but Julian just grinds every second of his life. One day Before tournaments Julian would working out and doing pall those stuff but lamelo would be playing 2K all night

[@someonelivescash]

Lot of ppl just dont realize who they are. Extroverted people who dont know how to be extroverted. I used to be like that, id overwork before tryouts and choke because i was trying to be someone i wasn't, and I realized I was more of like a lebron / shannon sharpe / james harden than kobe or someone else with a super known work ethic. Obviously i have a great work ethic, but I'm on the court because I enjoy it & I "lock in" by interacting with the sport in a carefree & "fun" way. Kinda like russell westbrook back in OKC when he was dancing with the bench and dropping 60/20/20 every night. I think about the "off the henny" meme when certain players explode in NBA games. That's how i'm trying to be

[@lemuelfn]

This is true I became a much better shooter when school reopened after quarantine and I didnt train the whole of quarantine

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Yep, so many of our players have been having that same experience.

[@tubyuh5201]

neither did i but i completely forgot how to shoot but im getting back up there

[@rometlempu4839]

Now I´m thinking if I actually love the game as much as I should. I know I have the willpower, the dedication, and resilience to put in the work, but at the end of the day, can I reach that love for the game that a lot of people, like you guys in these comments, have. I have no idea.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

There is no "should" in love, because that would imply forcing it. As you know, love does not work that way ;) Coach S.

[@rometlempu4839]

@@DeepGameBasketball Yeah, but I meant like if I want to make it somewhere with basketball. What if some day I just don't love the game as much as others at whatever caliber i'm playing at and that's why I end up not succeeding. I know you could say that it's either you love the game or you don't, but I'd say there is a range. I think Kobe loved the game more than someone like hassan whiteside. Just a thought.

[@COOLSAUCE21]

You need to answer that yourself (and if you're asking this question, you're either way too serious, or just don't love the game as much). And if you don't love the game, don't torture yourself trying to chase basketball goals, and go after something you actually love doing. It's going to be frustrating, because you are going to fail (not as in you specifically, but everyone is going to fail somewhere on the journey)

[@rometlempu4839]

@@COOLSAUCE21 yeah, I think I figured it out. I do love the game. I adore it. I was probably just overthinking it and all these other factors clouded/sometimes still cloud my view on basketball. But thanks for the tips.

How do you think a 1hr30min skill workout should be then exactly if a player should be safe for their mind and body ?

[@ASHTEN.TAYLOR]

This is so true man I needed this video

[@alexcornell2174]

Hey I got a question. As a really serious 15 year old basketball player, I've been training myself to practice as much as I can and study the game as much as I can. I dont know if I would feel right taking this big of a break from the game after training myself to stick to it. It's would kinda feel like I wasnt pushing myself hard enough if I took this kind of a break. Do I take these breaks 2 days a week, or for 2 weeks?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Which break are you referring to specifically? We recommend in most situations to have two full days off each week, as well as two full weeks off 3-4 times per year. This video ties everything in in regards to how much work you should be doing, as well as how much rest. I'd suggest watching it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6m2Y2xvjNx-Zsk Simon DeepGame

[@Hans_stone]

best basketball content on youtube. look to tik tok to market yourself!!! No one talks about this and i know so many people could relate!!

[@fakgllll]

Great video, Coach. But just one question, if your supposed to enjoy the game, could it be balance between going to the court and just enjoying it and going to the court with a set workout in mind?

[@fakgllll]

Like one day, going to the court and just shadow balling and another day, having a set workout with reps.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

@@fakgllll You can definitely implement just going to the court with no intention, but to make sure it's not just an internal excuse you should probably schedule that in instead of deciding on the day of. Those types of sessions are best scheduled in when you notice you're not having much fun anymore for a significant period of time. In these cases, slow down your training and add in more of these more freestyle workouts. Simon DeepGame

[@fakgllll]

@@DeepGameBasketball Thanks Coach. Much love. You are changing my life

[@fakgllll]

@@DeepGameBasketball Hey Coach Simon, i just need some advice regarding this video. Yesterday and today, something happened that really put me down. I am not in the best mental state, instead sad and mad at everything . I tried to have a session today and nothing went my way and I just kept thinking about what happened and when trying to workout, I tried to get every perfect rep in and that just made me more frustrated and I quit my workout. Any advice so I can attack the next session with a good mood and positive energy? I felt maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep? Not sure. Let me know and thanks.

[@02Timez]

should I do this with excessives that help with basketball too? (Not doing them for a full too weeks) or two days?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Are you talking about the Two Week break? If so, it depends, but generally yes: if those things are done specifically to improve basketball performance and for no other reason (such as enjoyment), then let them go for the full two weeks. You can start doing some of those things, but really optimize them for enjoyment/feeling good rather than in order to improve yourself. One of the main points of the Two Week break is to relax your discipline muscle, so continuing to do things for basketball begets some of that - Simon, Team DeepGame

[@mold3276]

What if I have a lot of homework and chores the day I have 2 days off??

[@DeepGameBasketball]

That's okay, but it's best if you can give those two days completely to yourself. Try to get your homework and chores finished during the other 5 days of the week if you're able to. But it doesn't always have to be perfect :-)

[@crosen4004]

17:48 same here, should i cut skill training and just go the court and have fun? Still, when im just going for the fun i take and make more shots plus i wanna stay longer in court, the only thing is that as they are non schedual shots i fear that is not gonna transalte to the game, because how you practice is how you play. Also when i go just for fun, consistency comes so much easier. What should i do? (sorry if i have gramatic mistakes, english isnt my first langauge)

[@YashKumar-yu6gl]

I would say listen to Coach Taylor. Have a balance. try twice a week just doing what you feel like.

[@big_guy9130]

So I’m starting the two week break today, should I still do this if I have school?
