How To Turn Around Bad Games

[@principejoel]

The most valuable lesson that I ever learned from my bad games is “if you still have energy to go home spend it on the court”

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thanks Príncipe!

The most valuable lesson that I ever learned from a game is that "a single game doesn't define your career", my brother told me that and I changed my mentality for good since then.

That actually hits deep, I might put it in my wallpaper. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for those lessons my men, really appreciated o7

The lesson I learned from my bad games is just to calm down. Play it with love, not with fear that we lose or I didn' score much points.

[@michaelmcdonnell9485]

Being able to compartmentalize things off the field and on the field.

[@strawbs9555]

Just had a bad game with hip injury and 3 fouls that really werent fouls, which really pissed me off. However my mental State now is calm and even though the game was bad that dosent have to effect other or other games, next week it will be heat.

[@hakimelalami2301]

It's a very interesting topic‚ What i learned lately and like you said people end up continuing to have a bad game because they think that the only way into a game is by scoring‚ it's like they only see one and only one door to a house and ounce that door is closed they can't get in😂 they think it's the ONLY way through‚ while there's actually way too many doors to that house you just gotta stop the tunnel vision of scoring and only scoring‚ like there's sooo much more to the game‚ get into it‚ get in the house and then everything is yours scoring included but also a lot more

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Very good point Hakim. There's always another door...

[@joshyboi2q622]

I've learned to lose and after each loss no matter in what form wether its the game as a whole the possession or even stepping away from basketball and going into my life learned to fail and grow from hose failures to get better and to make my team better in the end, or to make my self (in my eyes) a better human being.

Perfect 🙏

@@DeepGameBasketball coach I've just recently gotten sober from an addiction I think it's been a few weeks and I don't know everything's feels weird I thought when I sobered up I would be playing better but I haven't, I know you talk about this alot but I play better in practice then in games, in games I mess up alot,which is normal honestly I'm rambling what's your opinion just need a little insight I feel

[@DeepGameBasketball]

@@joshyboi2q622 Depending on the addiction, I would imagine it would take some time for you to get back to baseline, so no stress =) Don't forget of course that you will also need to upkeep your surface and DeepGame training in order to actually improve. Kicking an addiction is a huge step though, so well done =) Simon DeepGame

[@dgsongcuya1]

Hi Coach Taylor, I am interested to know how to mentally "tackle" mental warfare, when my teammates or coach talk down on me when I have a bad game, they sometimes like to call me not so nice names in a "joking" manner, and constantly remind me that my performance was lack luster. That feeling can get under my skin sometimes, what is the best approach with not saying much at all and improve myself after an experience like that?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Hey Dennis, we actually recorded a full talk on this about a month ago :) You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maamhn6Vntxna6c Let us know how it goes for you!

[@masoumemp3226]

Your advice can even work in real life Life is like a game and we are player as much as we let negative thought lead our life we ruined our life If we practice ur tip in real life they easily come to our game

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Exactly :)

[@friendlyneighbourhoodfrog5650]

Should I listen to music during my basketball workouts? Also what happened to the guided meditation you guys had on Spotify?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

You can listen to music, especially during more repetitive part of your workouts where things aren't as technical such as shooting for reps or dribbling for reps etc. But you should probably turn it off or at least not have it blasting through your headphones (a speaker may be better) while you're learning new things during your workouts. Music can also be helpful at times if you feel your game has become more robotic. You can implement it in a sort of freestyle training session where you dribble, make moves, and shoot in rhythm with the music. This is however something to be done as needed and not as your entire regimen. As for the Spotify audio, it should be here: open.spotify.com/episode/16ci35Sw9Z9qTS63jaBEqC?si=nIT_q2wiQV2BCxZKOvhzbA Simon DeepGame

[@sttuffwithjoe4477]

I commented on another video, but my teammates, I don't think they trust me on the court. That mixed in with the coach playing me as a PF/C, it is discouraging. I put my efforts into other parts like defence which I play well and rebounding which I do good for my size but I do want to score as well and I know I can. How can I solve this sir

[@DeepGameBasketball]

What is it that you think makes your teammates lack trust in you on the court? Are you lacking in certain skills which they can't trust you with? - Simon, Team DeepGame

[@sttuffwithjoe4477]

@@DeepGameBasketball I don't really know. I don't think I'm lacking in too much skills obviously I can improve though. Maybe it is just that I'm a bit soft-spoken, idk.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

@@sttuffwithjoe4477 Your teammates will start to trust you when you prove to them you can be trusted. So it's less about whether you're quiet or not, and more about the results you're putting out, and the actions you take on the court. It would be well worth looking into your skillset and seeing what specifically can be improved, so that you can offer a strong position on the team to help them win - Simon, Team DeepGame

To never give up I am pretty sure I have hung the same rope everytime, now ik that I need to push harder and through it

[@aminainehsazi2613]

I have learned that zero-stressed games will ruin your performance! A lil bit of stress is good.

[@wes2270]

For me, the problem I'm facing right now is that I'm in a slump, but not because I'm just off. It's because i can't seem to find rythym in my teams offense, because it's not exactly ideal for my game. And because of that, it's really hard to get in rythym during a game, because I'm taking what I'm given instead of making opportunities. And therefore I may take 2 shots in the first half and 15 shots in the second, or I might take 10 threes in one game and none in the next. I can't find a groove and consistency. Tips?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

To me this sounds like a tactical (surface game) problem rather than a deep game problem. The solution would be studying the offense on a deeper level and finding the spots and situations within it where you can be most effective. It's always tempting but not helpful to get down about the fact that the offense isn't suited for you -- instead, suit yourself towards the offense by adapting your game for it. You may find that this situation actually helps you evolve a particular part of your game that needed work -- so the long term impact on your game is positive in the end.

[@MitchyMooChunks]

I have inconsistency being stone cold or flaming hot - confidence and fear are such great forces opposing. I get easily 'tilted' and the fight to turn it around becomes many times harder. I feel I still try my most physically but begin falling apart by play IQ or mental resistance.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

You don't really need to fight to turn it around at all. Instead, try actually tapping into the energy of what you're feeling (sounds like it is a mix of frustration and anger), and instead of letting it spiral out of control, use it in a controlled manner to improve your performance.

[@poplioktav1339]

I always wondered why is there no video about basketball mentality. Maybe on this chanel you have something about it but i didn't see that anywhere. I am curious to hear what you have to say about mentality. Maybe you don't need mentality in basketball.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Can you describe what you mean by "mentality" Popli? Maybe we can help you better once we understand how you define it. We also have an old video called "What is the best basketball mentality?" that you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6bElqujprOVbKc

Success is made by mistakes

[@st-e-lo9896]

Is playing hard and trying hard the same thing?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thanks for bringing this up -- it's a point of confusion a few of our players had with this video. When I say "playing hard" in this talk, I'm referring to physical effort -- digging deeper and exerting more aggression on defense, rebounding, etc which can often bring you back into the rhythm of the game quite quickly. By "trying hard" what I mean is holding psychological tension around needing to play perfectly, not make mistakes, etc -- which of course doesn't help performance. Does that make sense?
