My tip is to treat it like you are playing in the playground. Loosen up and relax. Listen to you favorite song and vibe to it. If you miss who cares, just take the game play by play and don't worry about the outcome. Just have fun and don't force anything. Hopefully these tips helped :)

You should be nervous. Every pro athlete always feels a little bit of something in the gut. Once you're no longer nervous You've Lost your edge.

Here's a tip also: Tell yourself that you have worked harder than anyone on the court and have grinded harder than anyone on the other team. That is a super confidence booster and will help you a ton in games😉👍🏻😒🏀

[@keithmaik7428]

Elijah Cox Base on my experience, this only works if I think I really worked out more than anyone. If I’m just saying this to myself and did not do anything prior to the competition then this doesn’t work. Idk it’s just me I guess

At first im confident, but when i see the crowd piling up, im getting shy and im thinking that they would laugh at me if i get blocked or something

[@josiahgarduno6315]

Yeah I’m scared to play for schools cuz they’ll probably just laugh since they are kids

You just gotta think, if you get blocked or turn the ball over, forget about it and just think about what’s happening right then.

Getting blocked it’s gonna happen so why care

Having my first highschool basketball game tonight and hyped but just a little nervous but not to bad. Good luck to everyone

[@yusufabdulhadi8043]

How’d it go bro?

[@AZJam]

Come early for the game. Get to know the court, the players, feel the game ball before the game. Knowing all these things will calm you down, now all you have to do is warm up and play your game. One big thing is practice like your play in a game. Practice should be intense. Every shot and layup should have game like pressure. This way when you play a game, it doesn't feel any more different or difficult.

[@DarloMorrow]

Needed this rn when im in games even in practice i pass to much bc im nervous and my teammates dont pass to me bc they think im bad im tired of being labed the "rebounder" when ik im better than that but i cant show it bc im nervous

[@jberges]

I agree but for me in practice I’m like a god but in a real game I am wack and I could barely dribble

[@TheVirtualBomb]

I’m pretty good at 3s when just shooting around. Played a pickup game a couple days ago, took a 3 and bad airball lol. But hey just gotta become more confident, thanks for this video coach!!!

don’t get stuck in the past just because you got one airball, keep your head up king!!

[@austinl3900]

I play well when I have chemistry with my team, cause if I don’t know no one I don’t wanna mess up so I worry, but if my buddy is on the floor with me then I have confidence

INTERNET EARNINGS haha well another superior kid thinking he’s better than everyone else cause he’s a few inches taller than the average person here. stfu. Not like everyone here is small anyway, and if you’ve forgotten height isnt the only factor that makes you a good player. “Another small people trying hard to be a superstar basketball player”. Dumb fuck just because we’re “try hards” that doesn’t mean we aim to be superstars, most just play for fun.

[@BigBen1994]

After I got dominant I stopped getting nervous lol I definitely used to visualize myself playing. I visualized making a game winner, I did that plus hit the shot that put us in ot and got my first dunk/poster in my last game of my sophomore year at just 15.

I'm always nervous before games, it's just hard work in practice and more experience help me to get focus easily now. just do as what you been working on, it'll flow

[@Tinqing]

I was always nervous that all my practise wasn’t good enough. And I always screwed up. But in practise 5x5 I mostly played as well as I can. So I just have to realize that everyone is here to play basketball, including me and that gives me confidence. This will also help me a lot to get more focused on the game.

[@1MCElias]

Thank you, I may start doing the 1 and 2 frequently. Before a game of course.

[@25mfermin]

I just talk to myself and realised that we're all human beings. Eventhough they good they're complete there are some things they're are not good at. Or i should say "weaknesses" and because of that i gain i bit more confidence.

The only thing I'm nervous about is getting embarrassed. Since I haven't played for 6 months, I've gotten rusty. My teammates aren't the most supportive, they laugh and joke about things, even when I miss a shot. Ofc it's nit just me, but since I haven't played in a while, I'm scared I'm going to make a fool out of myself.

[@cieran_777]

They’re not good teammates then

[@mightdai7489]

I was the best in my team when I was in 6th grade without a doubt. But for some reason I never tried hard barely scored. My trash coach was one part of it the second was my fault. And of course the ceiling of every court you can’t even shoot midrange

@@Himothy7877 Yooo... thanks for asking. I realised, if you fail again and again and again for a while, you started to fail a lot less worse, and you began to improve, and that gives you confidence. In most pickup games, I'm starting to become the go-to guy now. I also hit a game winner 3 last Saturday, scored about 8 points in a 13 point game. Played very very good in our last tournament, I'm very vocal now, as a point guard. i played the whole minutes. (but we lost tho😄) I still have off days, but that's life. Progress not perfection.
