Story: 4 Years of High School Varsity Basketball Tryouts | Dre Baldwin

[@dubbyu4286]

I got cut in freshmen in the first tryout because I started telling my self that I got cut. I also got cut in my sophomore which it is shocking because a lot of people who tryout thought I was going to make. I thought was going to make because I did great at tryouts. And since then I have been working on my game in the rec center. Playing basketball with grown men and that makes me more of a competitor

[@geraldconyer7575]

damn, literally sounds like my story too, I'm a sophomore too and everyone thought I was going to make it but I didn't and now I play at the local park and starting to work out more

[@gboy7warriors121]

IJustLuv2Hoop same bro, some of my friends say that I have potential making the high school team because they think I’m a pretty good shooter. However, they said I wasted it due to my lack of confidence. I can’t build confidence because my rough past experiences, but I can’t give up in ball. Me trying out to make the Hs team is like Lebron working to win a championship against other teams when he was in the cavs in 2018. I would cry if I make my Hs team for once.

[@xAZNViETBo1x]

My story is fucking sad bro, I try out my sophomore yr got cut, try out jr year got cut, then my sr year the roster was full and they only took 3 people. Unfortunately I didn’t make it. The coach has favoritism. The team captain didn’t even show to try outs at all and he still on the team. At the end of day I invested all my time and energy and every single year I buy basketball shoes to play with, I did all of that for nothing. What I learn throughout those try outs years is that you have to take a advantage before it gets harder. I’m still sad about that smh, this was in 2013 my sr year.

[@FirstnameLastname-qb2bg]

xAZNViETBo1x Did your school have a JV team?

[@virtual_intel]

I tried out my senior year at my high school and got cut. Ironically in college the assistant coach of a Division 1 school I went to was interested in trying me out. So he gave me a personal tryout skills assessment, and I didn't make the team due to lack of stamina. It was Manhattan College Jaspers team I had come close to making it onto. My skills with dribbling and shooting was beyond back then. So I failed at completing one of the intense running suicide style drills with the ball. I simply ran out of breath, and suffered from muscle fatigue.

[@virtual_intel]

It always is and always will be. What's your point?

[@myshit2216]

that sucks, I aint never had to do that on my team

[@virtual_intel]

Yeah I guess at that division I school they had certain physical fitness requirements to make the team. I was close though, but no cigar for me :) I never quit I still practice to this day at 41.

[@virtual_intel]

KBTITAN-24 It was a D1 school and they were looking at me since I was a freshmen. I went to Manhattan College. I used to practice in the gym like 6 hours a day each school year all year round. My skills accelerated as the years progressed and after getting basketball drill help from a few ballers that learned them from basketball camp. My personal tryout was given to me in my Junior year of college. So it actually took 3 years for the assistant coach to select me. They knew me as I was cross training with the team my freshmen year. I had the balls to ask the head coach if I could run with them each morning of the teams preseason work out sessions. However, I wasn't even a walk on, nor on the team, nor did I have a scholarship. Just was a gym rat as they call non team member ballers.

[@spankiedoodlesteve2086]

That’s how I was junior and senior year, started smoking cigarettes and couldn’t run on the court anymore. I could shoot from behind the three line all day but damn I couldn’t run with the ball bo more. I only went to a triple A division high school

[@navia810]

i got cut freshman year because im so nervous whenever i play... i watched some of your vids and i had confidence in my self, i got better but when there is a crowd i am garbage... imma work it out and see if imma make it my sophomore year

[@musahoops]

You fix this problem by constantly playing and working. Trust me. The amount of work you put it will put that nervousness to rest once the game starts

[@caryoxner959]

Also people need to work hard not just when tryouts. Come around start playing basketball my little brother is starting to get that now he made the middle school team keep working guys and jog a to keep in shape. And remember to play smart

[@umbrellaphantom]

My story is almost exactly like yours except that I didn't tryout freshman year got cut sophomore on the first day and junior year didn't tryout again, but I tried out for an AAU team and made that and was a power forward which was hard for me because I consider myself a guard, and senior year I just played pickup games. It really sucked not playing basketball in high school because I knew I was good, and a lot of people thought I was good as well.

here's some tips, before tryouts talk to the coach and just ask him any questions you have. Example, What do you look for in a player? I didn't make my 7th grade tryouts cause I was very nervous and didn't put my full potential in to it, I am now training with a former Harvard college player and I'm in 8th grade right now I play for a aau team currently and I am very confident in making the 8th grade tryouts, tryouts start November 28 wish me luck and feel free to leave any words of encouragement.

[@jaydz124]

I'm from London. I tried out for the basketball team in Year 7 and didn't make it. I asked my parents if I can tryout for Year 8 but they said no and that I should wait until Yr 10 to tryout. Year 10 came and the coach knew that I was good enough so I was automatically on the team. However after my first TWO games my parents said I can't play for the team no more to focus on my GCSEs even though during the time whilst I was on the team I got an A* in my maths GCSE. I got so angry that I sneaked to practices and games but my brother found out and told my parents. After that it's been an argument about career choices between pro ball and accounting.

What do you do if you good an still don't make the team cus the coach already knows who he going to pick. I go to Potomac senior high in northern Virginia. They actually won the 5a state championship this past season. I'm a rising senior an have been cut every year I tried out. It doesn't help either when the coach recruits 2-3 players out of state to play. I start on my aau squad an average about 10 pts a game. However I'm only 5'4 , an everyone on the team is practically 6' an above. Sorry for rambling but can you give me some advice on whAt to do to make it senior year?

I'm a 8th grader 5,9 157 pounds When I was a 7th grader I was really good at basketball, one kid who made the team said that I was gonna make it but I didn't. In the first day of tryouts I was really but really nervous. I got cut in the first cuts that year because one of the assistant coach said that I would dribble the ball to high. So I joined a rec league I didn't do that good and that coach who was coaching are team almost ruined my career because he would laugh about how I would play. So I got very mad, and in the summer league of the rec I did even better and that season our team went undefeated 10-0 and won the championship. And this year I also got cut in the first cuts I thought I was gonna make it I had alot of confidence. The coach said I played better this year than last year. I had the flu in the tryouts and just because I was sick doesn't mean I wanted to give up. Thx man this inspire me to work even harder .🏀

Hi Dre. I assure you it is a true story. He is now an economist. Ability is surely one of the keys. Butting one's head against the wall, as you've said elsewhere, isn't a smart play, either.

I got cut from all my middle school try outs and even though I wanted to continue to highschool, I was just too hurt and did not want to get my heart broken again. I really wish I tried out in freshman year and I hadnt give up. I am a sophomore currently and wish I had tried out for basketball because I feel empty now. ugh

Lucky ass. I wish the coach would just roll the ball out, let us show our talent. We gotta do pointless shit like the 3 man weave

[@DreB]

3 man weave isnt pointless. one useful point is to find out which players don't take it serious, they're the easiest ones to cut first. only bums claim "luck" when they come up short. take ownership of your results, regardless of what the coach says/does. no excuses.
