[@Daniel-iq8zq]

Thank you so much for making this video. It’s the off-season so I’m looking to get better going into my freshman season where I can hopefully earn a spot on varsity. Variability is something that I haven’t previously had in any of my workouts because I was just doing the same stuff everyday. Since ballhandling is something that I need to get better on I didn’t realize that I needed to add different components to it instead of just doing basic things not moving. So thank you for this and hopefully I’ll start to improve much for than I previously had.

[@tjltraining]

Love to hear that! Implementing that will certainly help you improve and see in game results

[@Zxnotify-dz2ik]

Honestly just playing around with people better than you can get you so much better

[@TommySanders-tp3ob]

Yeah fr I just wish I had people to train with

Great vid coach! Learnt alot

[@Milk-cx7ec]

my handling and finishing are the two things I need to work on the most and they've barely improved the last 2 years

[@tjltraining]

gotta train differently, our off season transformation course will really help you!

[@joshj2650]

Hey coach thank you for this appreicated you man.

[@tjltraining]

Thanks for the comment and support!!

[@scythe4153]

Thank you a lot for making this video I’m a freshman and I’m looking to really get better and get my confidence up I always had issues with going out and performing due to fear of failure but Everytime I watch your videos it gives me confidence to go and work harder next time I’ve been working on reading my defenders and handling pressure while on the ball do you have any drills or tips on how I can get better at those and as well as like tips for how to get rid of the fear of failure as a lot of times I find my self playing extremely safe since I feel like I’m gonna mess up please and thank you

[@tjltraining]

Glad the videos help!! And you have to identify where that fear comes from and then tear it apart. As far as how to better handle pressure play against defense and have someone try to steal the ball from you and play overly aggressive

[@ItsKingRexx]

I feel you with the fear of failure but I’ve been watching these videos and practicing a lot so my confidence has been up recently

[@ItsKingRexx]

Yooo thanks bro ima use this, it’s almost summer break so ima have a lot of free time and I plan on practicing a lot of basketball because I’m just average rn and I wanna become better, because I rlly wanna take it to the pros

[@thatguy1488]

don’t do things with the expectation of getting to the pros. especially if you’re an average player in an average area. get better for the sake of improvement and discipline and maybe play college ball if you end up being really good. basketball is probably the hardest sport to make it far in and the height and athleticism standard is very high. i’m not trying to bring you down just want you to have the right reasons to get better and maybe you make it pro off the work but if you don’t still continue for the love of the game

[@ItsKingRexx]

@@thatguy1488 I know that, the reason I wanna go pro is because I love the game

[@ElijahLutaaya]

Thanks so much for this vid. I wanted to ask what will be a good way to improve my midrange shot and fluidity without defense or contests and still make it game like

[@tjltraining]

Check out our last shooting workout

[@maysonfrank8862]

Tysm and I have a question. I'm training at high speeds because I need to get comfortable with that and I'm wondering what you think. I will pushing myself, almost messing up every time and when I shoot i will try to shoot quicker with good form and act like there is a defender. What are your thoughts?

[@tjltraining]

that is great, practice training at all different speed too though, full speed, slower speeds, slow to quick shots, etc want to work on the whole spectrum of speeds

[@maysonfrank8862]

Thx for replying i never get any. I have one more. I barely have people to play against and I would act like I'm in a game or 1v1. I use my imagination and try to score different ways every time. What are your thoughts on this?

[@mrpoopysr183]

So I would say a summary is staying consistent and practice where it’s actually challenging?

[@tjltraining]

Somewhat of a summary but also not just challenging but challenging in the right way, difficulty doesn’t automatically equate to improvement

[@user-dw1dr3dq9n]

Tht guy in sweatpants is soooooo toughhhhh🔥

[@yeatdagoat173]

bro can't miss

[@megamando6916]

Thanks bro i wanna be a better defender but dont have other people to play and train with is there any way for me to practice my D

[@sillyrabbit190]

watch film

[@OfficialPeetaGriffin]

We lost a final and ref played me for 20 secs at the end when they were up by like 8 just so i dont feel bad. I gotta get better

[@bloob1223]

i can shoot and i work on my shot everyday but it feels like my jumpshot feels different eveytime i shoot it and sometimes its good or sometimes it just misses really badly i want to get a jumpshot that feels the same everytime

[@tjltraining]

You form is most likely not consistent so your results won’t be, lock in on fixing your shot

[@noobynoob6856]

Some days I can train for hours but some days it’s rainy or wet so I can’t train it all so idk what to do

[@ky.11.09]

Is there a work out or drills I could to get better at dribbling under pressure? Thank you

[@tjltraining]

Yes I just posted a partner ball handling workout

[@ky.11.09]

@@tjltraining aight bet. I’ll take a look at it. Thanks

[@mr.screenshot9452]

Play your role that’s how you will get better or be a role player

[@LMProdz8]

So I’m good with individual training. I know how to challenge myself, variability, pressure, etc. But I just lost my workout partner, what should I do?

[@tjltraining]

Gotta actively search for someone again as fast as possible

[@user-ho7dp6of6i]

Hello I got a question we are supposed to work hard on the same thing everyday but when we are done do we just switch into another thing or we keep working on it but less

[@tjltraining]

Keep working on it but little bit less

[@johndoe3474]

If I want to get 500 makes a day and it takes long because I have to rebound myself but also want to add variability like you said, what would you suggest that I do so that I can get 500 makes while those are quality so that I can maximize my shooting improvement.

[@tjltraining]

Don’t need 500 makes especially if you want quality. You are just going for a number to check a box, if you could get 250-300 and get better results (which you would) aim for that as opposed to a trivial amount of shots

[@johndoe3474]

@@tjltraining appreciate it ill do that instead for my training plan

[@aaronjohnson6802]

Do more then 1 workout a day. You wont feel rushed or stressed to get everything in.

@@aaronjohnson6802 yeah Im tryna get 1 shooting and 1 skill/finishing workout daily along with weight training and film

[@danielgfeggx358]

Is there a way to get better at contested finishing/shots without a person to work with?

[@tjltraining]

Get better at the general qualities of finishing

[@deez001]

How can I find mistakes in my shot, when I go on the court to practice I feel like I just turn off my brain and shoot and can never identify the root cause of my mistake.

[@piotrekkostekkostecki3863]

Try to record yourself, or better yet, ask bench/friend to record you while you play, then analyze it. This way I realised that after I make some space beetwen me and a defender, I push way too much to the side, instead of pushing forward.

[@TommySanders-tp3ob]

The main problem for me with this is I have no one to train with and decision making is arguably the most important thing to work on

[@tjltraining]

Yeah def gotta get someone work with

[@mgkin7674]

Do think i could get a shooting workout under pressure by myself?

[@tjltraining]

Nothing that mimics defense but there are ways to add pressure such as time or makes in a row

[@bloob1223]

and for variability if i make my reps still look like a game but my reps are creative and differnt each time for example im workong on 2ft finishes i can just make it i get into the shot differnt or o do differnt moves to get to the shot

[@bloob1223]

and for shooting for example o always do differnt movements into the shot or i give myself bad passes

[@tjltraining]

Just don’t repeat the same exact skill back to back use something else or a different skill or type of finish in between

[@dinge_sind_nicht_gut]

i'm not sure i entirely understand. if you're supposed to focus on super specific things, how are you able to cover a wide variety of things if you're also supposed to stay consistent and not switch up your workouts? this is not a criticism, i'm just wondering.

[@breaknfiction21]

Growth is hard. Maintenance is easy. Focus on one skill, perfect it. Then do the bare minimum to maintain it and move on to focusing on a different skill. Only focus on one skill at a time

[@maeu21]

It’s like the gym, bro, you don’t go to the gym hit legs on Monday legs on Tuesday legs on Wednesday and legs on Thursday and Friday. You’re not going to go to the gym and hit barbell squats on Monday and then hit. Bulgarian split squats on Tuesday and and then go again Wednesday to hit hip thrust.

[@Xsebi2204]

HOw do i shoot with defence if i have no one to play with

[@hardworkpaysoff4206]

Well ,sum you can do is pressure urself by saying : well if i dont make 2 threes in a row,im sprinting once...this way,you are going to put yourself in a tough situation like in a game + learn how to shoot when tired

[@pucci2k915]

I need to improve in everything how can I work then? Like if im focusing in finishing, i would not be better at shooting or ball handling

[@tjltraining]

You can mix in other stuff in between, not like you are never gonna shoot just because you are focused on finishing

[@tjltraining]

Check out my transformation course, it’s an all inclusive course that touches on anything and you don’t have to worry about structuring your workouts on your own

[@user-di2qy9fx1l]

Man, you need just add periodization in your training process Choose one skill, it's your first prioritet, and all month you should train this skill For example 1 month: 70% of time you're working on ballhandling (the most important skill in my opinion, because it helps to growth 'sense of the ball', which helps you shoot and finishing futher) 15% your shooting mechanic (just keep your techniqe as well as you can), 15% simple finishing drills just keep your touch around the rim 2 month: 70% - finishing some advanced variations, 15% - ballhandling, just keep your previos month work actual, 15% - shooting mechanic 3 month: 70% - advanced shooting, 15% - finishing, 15% - ballhandling And make sure you're working out at the gym enough to prepare your body for overloading at the court

Hey there coach, please i need your help from the bottom of the heart. So last night there was a detroit pistons game against the hawks and something unexpected happend. And that is when malachi flynn dropped 50 points🔥 OFF THE BENCH, this is absolutely crazy, can you please make a video how he did it and how can a bench warmer drops +20 or +30 points to prove my coach wrong. I live in morocco and there's no basketball quality in here and i am really sad. So i am a bench warmer who still haven't even dropped 2 points not even my first buckets and only play 1 minute in the 4th quarter, i have the worst basketball team and the worst teammates and my teammates just wanna joke but i am serious about basketball and i really wanna get better, sometimes they bully me and hate on me for being that bad and i really wanna learn cuz i swear on god there's no basketball quality in here, so pleasd help me prove my coach and shut my teammates up and become a valuable and a great team leader. And thank you

[@tjltraining]

I got you!! Gonna look into that today

[@tjltraining]

Just keep working your ass off and training smart

[@yeatdagoat173]

what about injury. when i shoot a lot, my wrists start to hurt

[@tjltraining]

Have to slowly do more. Going from shooting 100 shots a day to 1000 is a big jump, slowly progress volume

Can i still get good work like this if i dont have defense
