[@keelyhuff5941]

I just want to say thank you so much for these I am going to play basketball for the first time this year because my parents haven't allowed me to play until now. I don't know what exact position I'll play but I did see your video about center and that helped me understand so much,this video is also helping a lot as well.

[@bballcoachallen]

I am glad that I could help, good luck

[@eliamation9335]

same dude

[@xxflamethrower2428]

Thanks this position is good for me, I noticed that my dribbling skills were bad, and my 3s were horrible. I am tall and have weight. I am kinda good at shooting at the elbow. I need practice tho

[@bballcoachallen]

thats good, but I do suggest practicing your shooting as every player needs that going into the future. Also ball handling most likely as well as we now are seeing 7 footers coming into the league over the next 3 years who can handle the Basketball like a guard.... We all got to start somewhere, I know you will be great

[@TEMELUCH]

I’m kinda the opposite I’m tall and lean but I have good mid range shooting, but hey good luck dude

[@cronic8979]

You can do it

[@shxlke8341]

Ty for the advice I used it and dropped 35 points for the first time!

[@ducklord7967]

thank you for this video, this is my first year playing basketball since ive never been able to because of injuries so ive never really known how to play the position my coaches want me to play. these have helped me understand what to do during the games

[@Crlongboarder]

I’m a hockey player who fills a roster spot for my buddies men leagues team, this helps a lot haha. I’m only 5’11 but I’m pretty sturdy so I got put down low

[@bballcoachallen]

nice, happy to help

[@DrJohnnyJ]

Power forward is the easiest position to play IF you have the physical qualities (strength, height). Block out, take the charge, hit the offensive boards, etc.

[@acejr3935]

Thank you for this I’m pretty late to this vid but now I’m playing basketball for the first time and didn’t know what to tryout as your channel has helped and gave lots of information thanks

Hey coach, I’m a sophomore going into my junior year of high school, I’m 6’7 and very skinny for my height, this is going to be my first year playing basketball, I’ve been thinking of playing power forward but since I’m so skinny it’s hard for me to post up and back my defender down to the basket, any tips?

[@Josiah.435]

damn u tall af, i saw another one of your comments 7 months ago and u said u were 6’5 at 15 so do you think i could be 6’7 im 14 and 6’3

[@abroreo7265]

Coach I’m super good at defense and always have the most rebounds but I’m bad at shooting and I’m to small for a center (im 5’7 with shoes on and about to go into middle school) what position should I play pls reply?

[@bballcoachallen]

work on skills for all positions but you'll most likely be a Forward and depending on the team you may be a guard ... 90% chance Forward (SF/PF) while if your school was like mine when I was in grade 7/8 our starting lineup was all 6 footers except our PG

[@staylit4209]

Thanks man

[@bballcoachallen]

You're welcome!

[@sdkvmyoshin]

Thankyou bro, i dont know how to play basketball but they said i play pf it has many team its called abl, they said i could be a center or pf my height is 5'6 12 yr old its all under 12 yr old players

[@ICEZACHGaming]

I am terrible at dribbling but I've got some shooting at elbow and beyond the arc, my coach want me to become stretch four. I'm also terrible at rebounding. But in offense I'm good

[@feisalabbasi9265]

Hey coach so as a 6'1-6'2 pf.for my intramural how can I improve my positioning on the mid post like my low post work.is solid and my jumpshot I'd decent but I struggle with angles cause I usually like to use bank on my mid-range like the reverse pivot ducan bank shot . But what other angles can I take in the mid post to.kind of have a better shot sometime I feel I'm.to far and sometimes to close I usually postion my self around the mid post so usually around the second block

[@da_rioakbarahmadpratama7316]

Coach pls reply me, can i be a pf ?even tho im skinny,and my height is average

[@bballcoachallen]

[@BigPigfrombiggs]

Hey coach, im 6'1 and 14. I can layup and rebound and shoot from the paint but i dont have a lot of confidence, do you have any advice on what position I should try?

[@bballcoachallen]

depends on team, most likely Guard or Forward depending on team... some shorter teams you may be a center

[@BigPigfrombiggs]

Thank you

[@LaytonIrving]

I've been set as power forward but I'm small and they said it's cos I'm fast and defensive game is good and I'm dependable mid range shots

[@soybins6902]

Hey coach the reason why i quit basketball months ago is because im not that good and I'm skinny who lacks any strength and core but i wnt to play basketball as point guard or shootings guard but they want me to be power forward or center because of my height. So any tips on how not to get knock off when someone guarding me like a big man

[@bballcoachallen]

squats... try the 100 squats a day challenge ... I would also suggest doing the 100 sit ups ..... every 2nd day do 100 pushups and as many pull ups as you can.... after 2 weeks add 30 squats and lunges every 2 days .... do this for a month and that will very quickly make you stronger

[@bballcoachallen]

dont do all those 100 reps at once... do sets of 20 or 25 reps

[@soybins6902]

@@bballcoachallen what a coincidence, i am planning to workout again as i am weak as hell rn. Thanks for those routine but the thing is i dont have a pull up bar or anything to grab on and second english is not my main language so what you mean in every 2nd day is like this? For example i workout squats at monday then at wednesday ill do the pushups then at Saturday some planking or anything?

[@johnbenedictvillavicencio9650]

Hey coach, I'm currently at 5'10 and average in shooting midrange and layups but according to my friends I'm a great center when defending. I pretty much get nervous when I shoot the ball and don't have much confidence in my dribbling skills. Any thoughts?

[@bballcoachallen]

get a friend to train with you, have him start at the baseline and pass you the ball at the free-throw line. have him run out to you to block your shot, and you need to shoot before he blocks you

i think this, or sf is my pos. im bad at shooting long distances, though im highly accurate in the paint, i have basic dribbling skills, and are pretty strong despite being skinny, and im relatively tall im 5'8 , playing against 5'4-5'6 dudes

[@bballcoachallen]

depends on your age and level

[@goncalooliveira7936]

im 6feet with 15 years old and 80kg can i be a good pf?

[@bballcoachallen]

at 15 you will be on most teams... but any older you would be most likely a guard

[@goncalooliveira7936]

@@bballcoachallen do i choose sf or pf ?

[@purpledino5048]

@@goncalooliveira7936 I’d say SF unless there’s no one else taller. If you’re the tallest out of possible forwards be a PF. If you don’t grow 4+ inches in the next year, stick with being a guard. You can develop your guard skills by doing that then if you do end up growing alot later on, you can go back to the frontcourt like Anthony Davis did. He was a point guard in HS then grew throughout the years and went to a PF. That’s why he’s elite as a PF; originally a PG.

[@peterhunsberger5002]

Hey coach I’m 5 8 I’m good at defense good at rebounds ok in the paint what position would I be

[@zygfryd3485]

How old are you bro?

[@bballcoachallen]

at 5'8 it really depends on age, if your younger then you could be looking at Forward or Center but if your over the age of 13 you will be a guard .... defense and rebounding is extremely important but also work on shooting and dribbling. (Shooting being #1).... (made the same response to your other comment as it was similar) 😁💪💪💪💪 work hard! 😁

if they're posting you up, start pinching their lower back... they will not want to post you up any more and usually not seen by refs (yeah thats a cheap move lol) ... the other way is to have your team talk on defense and have you switch off for a different player.
