THIS WAS SOOOOOOOO HELPFUL. You don’t understand. I always play so good by myself but when I get on the court I get scared if I do anything bad that would make my teammates mad or disappointed such as missing a wide open layup. I always overthink it and make it sound harder then it is. Even though I know it’s easy.

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

Gotta get past the overthinking. Once you do that it becomes much easier and fun to play.

I hate myself if I miss one open lay

When I’m in a game I normally sing a song to myself so I’m less nervous

i am in the exact same situation right now. the way i play in practice or just a regular pickup game isn’t the same in my AAU games. this video really did help, thanks a lot.

Erik Martinez glad it helped you!

[@Ajeesh.09]

My key is Toughness, focusing and practicing I did this once and got a 19 point game with 5 assists and 3 rebounds as a 10 year old :))

[@niqxy2855]

For me I do good one game and get so scared that I won’t preform as good that I just blow it

[@Poloskii]

For me it was just getting used to being under pressure and practicing so you know you won't under preform even if you have confidence Just dont be too confident because it could end up messing you up

I’m like 12 and I dropped 40 points, 7 assists and 2 rebounds.

[@loner2651]

It's hard for me because I play with people way out of my age group. I always overthink things because I'm scared of the criticism. Criticism from older people is a bummer because you can't be always talking back to people older than you, I'm a very respectful person at my 12 years of age. This video was so so helpful for me, thank you sir.

[@kalebburrs1164]

You’ll learn soon that a lot of them don’t know what they are talking about but also bro you got time to mature and find your own game. Once you do you’ll be fine and not be as affected by criticism. Also criticism isn’t bad just think of it as possible pointers everybody in this game who truly likes the game loves learning more about it and how to get better just go with the flow and keep improving.

[@_.e.c.w]

This video helped me alot. Over the past month ive been doing great at my high school camps, specifically having a 15 point game with 5 three pointers. I went from a bench player on my freshman team that barely had a spot on the jv team, to a starter on jv and the best player on there that isn’t at the moment on varsity. I play for a competitive high school that won region championship the year prior, so this a big deal to me, the goal is to make varsity when the season comes and with the progression i have had it seems reachable.

[@xJqordan]

Nice.

[@WootyAsmr]

how the last 2 years been for you bro? basketball wise 🔥

[@PUNKROCKSTHEBEST]

This guy summed it all up pretty good. My problem is endurance and not wasting all my energy running back and forth to the point where I can’t even shoot cause I’m gassed out

[@apfxlkuchen]

It's not wasting energy when you sprint back on d All you got to do if you don't have enough energy for continuing playing on maximum effort is to tell your coach about it then you can relax on the bench and if you are ready you'll be back on the court

[@nn4165]

Thx for the vid. Very informative video. At school scrimmages in practice I score like 10-20 points per game put when I'm at a tournament I score like 5-15 points. Tomorrow I have a game and hopefully I play to my full potential after this video. Thx again

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

Tear Coaxeal glad this video helped. Remember that changing your mindset is like changing a habit. You might not be where you want to be at today. But focus on getting better every single time until it’s a habit.

[@nn4165]

Casethegreat 21 I think ppl should know that you don’t have to score to be effective if you can’t rack up points rack up the assists u can be just as dominant. Take for example Magic Johnson say the only part of his game that would be good is passing yes he won’t be as dominant but he can get teams wins and make the team better, don’t let your height bring your confidence down!

[@tao9868]

never say hopefully say i will it makes it wayyy better

[@zags1323]

how did you play brodie? 💀💀

[@jamesmartin2025]

I usually play well but earlier today I played a game with a Rec team and only scored 4 and we lost by 30 and I shot 2/9 this helps a lot

[@caveplayer9636]

Omg thank you, I'm so good in practice but so bad in games and it's always cause I'm scared. My coach would always get mad cause every time I missed I put my heads on my head acting like it was the end of the world when I missed.

[@evanpowers3216]

I had one game this season where I used affirmations a ton with out knowing it. I went on to have no turnovers, a 13 point quarter, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. Unusual for me, but now I know. Thanks bro

[@joellen1138]

What affirmations did you use?

[@emmett2628]

This video helped a lot , i train like 2-4 hours every day and my work just won’t show off in games as an aau 7th grader who is now practicing about 4 hours every day, This video will help me with my in game performance so thank you!

[@alicehat6153]

Thank you for breaking things down and making it easy to understand all your code your better than 99.9% of the basketball youtubers when it comes to breaking things down so I thank u for that🔥💯

[@UnitedStatesOfAmerica-129]

This helped last year I watched this video and then I wasn’t scoring now I’m scoring way more and I’m way more confident thanks this helped A lot and btw practice makes perfect

[@sourswift]

I’ve actually started to figure this out myself and started implementing a lot of moves I do in practice into some pick up games and stuff, it gives you so much freedom and makes you play a lot better, you need to drown out what other people say if you make a mistake and keep doing it even if you fail once or twice, or even three times, example, I’ve been trying to learn a fancy type of layup that’s super effective and I’ve started pulling it off more and more in practice but I can never get the confidence to do it in a game and I finally did it today a few times and only missed once, it’s really all about your mindset and how you perceive pressure to succeed

[@Biobro]

Although this video came out years ago it was very applicable. Thank you so much because in AAU practice I would pull up from anywhere on the court and hit it but in game I would shoot once a game.

[@Plexwashere]

Thank u man, u saved me from screwing up again with my mindset your a real one😊😊

[@beaupeterson4408]

I like to think of a song that pumps me up that’s how I dropped 35 points 11 rebounds and 8 assists

[@MBhoops]

Really good for all hoopers out there. Also when practicing, put a bit more pressure on yourself by having to make shots in a row so you get pressure from having to make the next one like in a game
