DeepGame thanks i finally understand now.

[@GreigMair1980]

This is always how I approached basketball. I played to my strengths, accepted others strengths but always strived to learn more.

[@mikimiska1239]

Every player who hasn t seen deep game videos are really missing out

[@flashgorden0388]

This works. I used this mentality against someone I have not beat in 1v1 in 3 years. I beat him 21 to 20 last Wednesday!!

[@bigt1668]

Nice job man

[@ETS45]

Damn mentality is so powerful

[@ODSKhari]

@@ETS45 the mind is the ultimate power source

[@levinyucel8594]

Listening to this video made me feel that bulletproof feeling I get when I am very present on the court. Where I feel fully rational and peaceful and plugged in. It’s funny how those moments when you stop worrying about the “level” of your game, and your game magically elevates. I hope to play in this state of mind as consistently as possible, without attaching myself to a specific result or outcome in a presumptuous habit.

[@PrimoJimmo]

Absolute great advice, sometimes got to accept and learn from that.

[@nicsterloin]

more people need to watch your videos man

[@cnoriptaedoe2596]

His wordplay to explain on a deeper level instantly clicked great content deff spread the word

[@cheskateeplays3604]

Thank you for the mental approach on game and just I should just play. Even though they're better than me it's a growth factor for me, accepting that and just play your own game, focus on my own game. thank you Deep game ✨

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Always glad to help =) Simon DeepGame

[@stookeyslaughter]

I was 12 years old and was starting to really like playing basketball so the older guys that were 12-13 years older than me were always short 1-2 players and always picked us younger guys to fill in spots. I always got taken advantage of being younger so continued playing and figured out how to become a better player and dominate players my own age.

[@abolfazlabedi1963]

Hey man. That was about life :) Thanks ❤

[@kyleadams1131]

Wow. That was awesome. I'll be rewatching and forcing my friends to watch this, ha! Thanks much for sharing!

Deep Game, Deep Game, Deep Game! Ik this might not be all that appropriate but, can you make a talk about how semen retention affects our basketball performance? PLEASE?

[@yourfavouriteusername]

Yes please.

[@evolveaim8203]

Biggest pro of semen retention is increased stamina and biggest con is it becomes easier to be distracted by things

[@yourfavouriteusername]

@@evolveaim8203 Facts my dude no cap🙏🏽. Currently on Day 27

Anurag Sajeet very impressive I know the first few weeks are hard but you powered through now you can see all the great results in a few weeks and make it a lifestyle💪

[@yourfavouriteusername]

@@evolveaim8203 Agreed man, it took a really long time of continuous trial and error to make it past the first few days, I think week1-2s are usually the hardest. Thanks for the support, I wish you all the best in your journey as well my dude🙏🏽💪🏽

[@joev8037]

But she should still challenge ourselves to work on new skills like if I’m a shooter I should practice both my shooting but also my slashing and playmaking right?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Absolutely, just do what makes sense in each given situation. Coach S.

[@ivicapetric8148]

What is the name of this player you've trained with?

[@deadleyspike]

What’s the best way I can improve ball handling, footwork, shot off dribble, explosiveness, and athleticism?

[@wailamchu6352]

Just train lol, there are no shortcuts. Look at the earlier videos, before this channel has become Deepgame.

[@wailamchu6352]

[@owenkile6042]

Anything else lmao

[@deadleyspike]

Owen Kile nope

[@wailamchu6352]

@@owenkile6042 I'd say yes. Film analysis, breaking down your mechanics, footwork, or even just reps. Learn from pros and analyse the game of basketball. How does curry shoot, why can harden, Kyrie and co can break down others so easily.

[@virajagawane296]

But coach, if I can't beat a player at his game then what should I learn from him? How do I grow from it?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Just keep getting better at your game, rather than his. Coach S.

I'm never passed the ball in 5v5 games because I'm 5'4 even when I call for it but I know that I can score, any advice? I'm also 13 so lots of room to grow

[@ajbaltazarr]

Keep asking and whenever u get the ball use that opportunity to show ppl u can score

[@esteprod5056]

@@ajbaltazarr they're just ball hogs anyways

[@PO-ec1us]

Get the rebound and keep the ball yourself

[@lilverson1333]

Gotta make good plays get rebounds and move and get open Its not always about scoring its being effective even without the ball. You didnt say that you a good defender so Im assume taht your okay work on getting steals and predicting the game, but cant control whether someone a ball hog or not at the end of the day

[@jeremymedina8376]

Keep going shit starts to change once you keep going u will start to see some things to change. Just keep going

I believe we do; search up DeepGame, or Coach Taylor, or Taylor Allan on spotify, and you should be able to find it there. Coach S.

[@kni9ne600]

Hey, I'm getting terrible grades, not getting any workouts in and honestly just loosing everything. I didn't think I'd ever comment in a youtube video but I need help. I've lost all hope and I just don't know what to do

[@basketballinbosco8161]

I wish I could help

[@cedriclewis4571]

Coach t would say start with an easy habit that can get you going. Normally in the morning. Then also see what’s on your mind write down or type anything that comes to mind for 10 or more minutes. Break down what made since and if it’s in your control make a plan for it and if it’s not in your control let it go. If you have a lot start with a little and gradually increase. You’re going to spin out trying to do everything. For you I’d start with my hw. 55 minutes ok hw and a 10 min meditation and repeat until I complete assignments needed. Also how clean is your room? Are you keeping up with yourself? Normally these are signs your priorities might not be great when you get home you might just watch yt instead of doing the things u need to then they pile up on you. Organize your life by organizing your mind then execute the steps required moving forward.

[@bradaltus7138]

I have a question: I did one of your laws which was to not care so much on how much you score and I think that was apart of magnetism and I have stopped caring so much I score obviously I wanna score heaps but ever since this change has happened I have scene a significant drop in production in games and it would be great if you could help thanks

[@DeepGameBasketball]

The Laws aren't "done", they're worked on. I wouldn't think about them so much, but rather use the techniques we teach to work on them and let them happen on their own. Coach S.

[@bradaltus7138]

@@DeepGameBasketball ah right ok I think I understand I appreciate it thanks

[@UnknownCartoonEditor]

You’ve still got be to be aggressive on court. There’s another video that goes between cycling between relaxation & aggression. When you’re aggressive you gotta push to score, but not be so concerned about how many points you earn.

[@7_k265]

Yesterday I played a player that wasn’t better than me I was better than him for like a month when he started coming to the park,then out of nowhere like these past two days he’s been putting work on me and he’s been beating me and my shooting couldn’t heat up yesterday so I had to work so hard with my handles to get a few lay ups and still lose 10-5 (2v2)

Dude I just beat 2 varsity players with my friend. We were jv & jv2 players

Probably a plain shirt pack

[@rjrasta2348]

😂😂😂

[@abduldoughani907]

But what do you mean by trying to beat someone at their game like if you could give me an example

[@DeepGameBasketball]

The example that Coach T gave in the video is that he had his own natural skillset to work on, but he looked at someone else and decided to become better at their skillset instead, ignoring his own unique capabilities. Does that make sense? Coach S.

[@abduldoughani907]

@@DeepGameBasketball oh ok thank you

[@rometlempu4839]

I find that if I accept the fact that they are better than me, I lose confidence during playing.

[@TennisWithWin]

I’m a tennis player and a lot of what you are saying applies to tennis and other sports (I assume).

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Yes; these principles apply not only to all other sports, but all other fields of life as well. The examples, of course, are basketball related, but that does not limit the effectiveness of the concepts beyond basketball. Simon DeepGame

I didn't understand something: how can I grow by accepting that they're better than me?

Whenever you are being honest, you are growing because you are allowing yourself to become hurt without defending your ego. This is what allows you to grow beyond it. Coach S.
