How To ACTUALLY Get Better By Yourself As A Basketball Player (The TRUTH)

[@PTrey]

Important to remember that the "10,000 hours" rule was originally coined based on 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, not just 10,000 hours of doing the activity

[@azelah]

I have a 3 Day Routine as a solo-hooper: Day 1: Strength Training (Gym) Day 2: Plyometrics Day 3: Conditioning and Skills For Day 3 I start with conditioning before doing my shooting/dribbling/skills workout so I would train myself to perform better when tired.

[@angrypacu292]

What plyometrics do you do?

[@azelah]

@@angrypacu292 Max Jumps (For Maximum Jump Obviously) Single Leg Linear Hops (For Each Leg Explosiveness) Eccentric Squat Pop, 3 second on eccentric and explosive concentric (Find out your jumping form from when you go down and when youou explode up and follow that for your squat pop, progress by adding light weight) and Pogo Jumps.

you should do your shooting and overall bag work every day tho, seperately

Like how was this helpful? This was all common sense, most of all this bullsht motivational speakers state whats already common knowledge. 99.9% of all these channels just say basic things. For example this vid, he said tgat write what you want tp improve and go for that list, like tf? Isn't that the point of getting better focusing on what you suck at? I have been watching all of these inspirational hoopers and believe me everything they say are word for word bar for bar the same. If he wants to teach us about basketball he should tell us when to drive, or shoot not just explain it but lay it out step by step not all these motivational bullsht. Almost all of them say confidence is key, consistency etc. W E KNOW EVEN KIDS KNOW THAT. About confidence you'll naturally get that ojce you improve your game, don't focus on that bllshit. Focus on skills when I say skills know when to do certain moves, when to pass, when to drive, when to use full speed, when to slow down. Once you know all those sht of course you'll be confident duhhh. Please stop naking vids if you're gonna recycle everything you said and rephrase all those sht, it's annoying.

Can you please make videos on how to finish like floaters euro step high pickup and basic layup finishes please and when to use them it would really help and I watch ur videos daily for advice 🙏

[@cruelsun9243]

Got all this. Thank you for a lot of great content. My son is 13 and 6 feet approx. He's really fast and that about it. When you practice with him, he gives you 100 physically. When he practices alone there is much to be desired. My son thinks get a great ball handler but he is not. In game he likes to pass more than anything. On fast breaks he stops and passes, when he grabs a rebound and if there is any....pressure he passess....the....ball....out..... it's really frustrating to watch. He's afraid to drive, because he's afraid to fail. I have told him that he must get past his on fear and try. If it gets blocked so what, if not great. He's afraid to body up on players....large or smaller AND shorter players. We watch video and He's always got an excuse why he didn't do this or that or why he did this or that. Any advice. Thanks.

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

I get it, it’s tough to watch and see all the solutions when he for whatever reason doesn’t. It’s a lot harder for some kids to grasp it in my experience. Best thing you can do is continue to encourage him. Maybe challenge him to try 1 thing per game or practice (driving, shooting X shot, whatever he needs to do more of) and make or miss, success or failure, if he at least tries that one thing he should consider it a win. And then as he gets more comfortable doing 1 thing maybe you increase it to 1 per half, etc. until it becomes something he does all the time. Giving him small steps to take will make it seem much less scary and more doable. And make sure you always point out when he does something good. That positive feedback will help him want to do those things more. It’s a long term process but when you approach it this way I think you give him the best chance to succeed.

[@cruelsun9243]

@VisionDrivenBasketball always my philosophy. I just hate excuses when......he's shows fear in trying to do those things

Thanks still man it only takes my game to tha next level tho fo realz still by challenging myself especially from trying to hit nba 3's tho in which has definitely helped me still and am able to do it pretty well still on a consistent basis since when your shooting it's all about chasing consistency tho so yeah!.❤😊

Been struggling with my shooting ever since I changed my release point from my chest to my head. Ty for this

[@17Kz_]

thank you so much, i used to go to the court and just shoot random shots and realising ive been seeing no progress ive been trying to work on stuff but i havent been challenging myself. finally after months this video is the one that helped me realise. Thank You So Much

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

Happy to help💪🏽

[@17Kz_]

@@VisionDrivenBasketball i created a note on thing im good at, okay at, and bad at, i didnt even realise to myself how much stuff i was bad at. i am now going to the court focusing on the things im bad and making sure the workouts are intense or uncomfortable

[@NunotherthanCrackerzhimself]

​@@17Kz_I just started out and I've been EXACTLY the same. But now I'm focusing on specific skills that I usually don't like to work on, and making myself uncomfortable, as well as trying to be more consistent.

[@tylerallen4975]

You said that challenge is more important than time and your probably right. But I think a better way to look at it is practice all the time but make sure your challenging yourself. So rly just follow the 10,000 hour rule but challenge your self every single one of those hours

[@sophiayao7041]

Coach, this is the best advice I’ve ever gotten, wow! This changed my view on the way I practice a lot of my skills. Thank You!

[@andyfam3221]

I 100% percent agree that having a trainer may give u good results in basketball. But As a hooper, that means more money. You can spend that money on a gym membership and say, "These are the days im going to spend individual workouts, and these are the days I do pickup and test what I worked on" Nowadays, whatever your struggling at on the court, u can find workouts for these things on youtube. And another thing about trainers is, You dont need someone else to push you and tell you to workout.

[@j66546]

1. have a focus/priority in your trainings 2. apply progressive overload. add challenge to your training if it’s getting easier

[@jasoncastillo194]

i’m actually the opposite, i prefer to work”in silence”, i’ll plan the day before then i’ll do that workout- great video too

[@narxzios2423]

Yea, when I play ball with my friends I am focused and locked in, but when I am alone sometimes I just find myself shooting “random” shots

Love your videos coach, is there anything I can do besides physical workouts (I do the Beyond the Rim Bodyweight program by Nathanial Morton) that i could do at home? I can only get a drive to the gym about 3-4 days a week and i feel like its not enough

[@davidhall4401]

I work on skills and conditioning at the same time full court and immediately run sprints and do pushups after each round of full court shooting. The goal is to play at a high level while tired. What is an effective way that you can recover when trying to get in basketball shape fast? I have been experimenting with monitoring my breathing so that I can have energy to go full speed on fastbreak opportunities and sprint back on defense even when tired. Is focusing on breathing with your lips slightly parsed and more out of your nose a great recovery strategy? Basketball shape is not about who can run the fastest or the farthest the longest, but recover the quickest.

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

That’s a good question, I think you’re approaching it the right way. In general nasal breathing is much better than mouth breathing when it comes to quality, obviously much harder when you’re tired and breathing heavy but I certainly think if you build it up like you’re doing it can have a positive effect on your short term recovery!

Is Scoring an example of something I can work on alone

[@nevaanrajaram4155]

How could you work on play making and passing by yourself?

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

Couple different ways. Work on your ability to pass by choosing a target on a wall and working different one handed passes to that target, could be normal one handed pass, could be hook pass, behind the back, pocket pass, etc. and then start to add in dribble moves first, maybe single moves, then double moves, then moves coming off of of a float/hang dribble, get creative with it. Along those lines! I’ll make a workout on this at some point!

[@Labron_Chartrand]

I love the insight but the music needs to be quieter to hear the words you’re saying

[@Amperall]

So your saying If I’m doing free throws and I’m getting 3/10 everytime, I should just keep doing more?

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

No I’d probably get that number a little higher. Free throws are something that never changes, it’s always the same shot. Once you can consistently make 7-8 of 10 you can increase difficulty by adding some sprints before so you’re tired or forcing yourself to make a free throw and then a three back to back, then another free throw and a three, teaches your body to adjust to distances on the fly which is huge for making shots in games.

[@Confidentail0]

What if my handle weak so I do some same drill every day is im going to get better ? Or switched it up

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

General rule is, do a drill until it becomes easy, then either make it harder by adding to it or doing is faster/with more intensity, and then once you can’t do that anymore, switch up your drill.
