The TRUTH About Getting Better as a Basketball Player..

[@Remedition44]

As a 5’9 former D1 player now coach…you are preaching what I’ve been saying. As you spoke all I heard was hunger, hunger, hunger! I’ve been screaming this to my team. 0 lies told here. Pre practice video.

[@NumotTheDragon]

@Remedition44 Do you have any advice for players around your height?

[@tjltraining]

Love it!!

[@purpmighty5740]

@@NumotTheDragon One thing I learned from being undersized, is that you have to be a good play maker, a good defender, and able to knock down jumpers (mainly 3s) sometimes short hoopers want to over dribble, not pass, be like Kyrie when they're really mimicking people like Julian Newman

[@Remedition44]

@@purpmighty5740 you are absolutely right about it. @NumotTheDragon unfortunately we have to spend more time in the weight room than everyone else. Use your height to to your advantage I had countless steals just by coming under bigs that were posting up and didn’t see me.

[@Watchdog-e9f]

Underrated video. As a young hooper, I wish I listened to this earlier.

[@tjltraining]

Thank you!! Better late than never for sure

[@123-v5s]

Everyone wants to be like Kobe or Booker, but most aren’t willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get there. It might not mean skipping every party or event, but you have to be willing to trade today’s pleasures for tomorrow’s success. You don’t just wake up one day with the right mindset-it’s built by the choices you make daily. And if you don’t learn that now, you’ll figure it out later, but by then, time and circumstances might not be on your side. Love the message here. Keep up the meaningful content 💪

[@tjltraining]

Thank you 💪🏼💪🏼

[@HoopsyToons]

This is very true what you said about feeling good about yourself and thinking your putting work in

[@tjltraining]

Yup that’s all most players are doing and getting no where unfortunately

[@zoirjohn]

1. Tottaly true in my case 2. Okay making dreams and work the same, making stronger parts great 3. This one did not happen yet 4. Long term work matters (thanks) every single day 5. Thanks God I ain't got any friends Well thanks for that peace of truth which in turn did not bother I accepted it, THANKS A LOT

[@ziyon4423]

Appreciate it coach

[@tjltraining]

Absolutely, send it to a friend who needs to hear this

[@kYA00h]

this is a tough one, solid advice, but it can easily fall on def ears. i blame the phones, theyre attractive with their games apps and video features not to mention the "comparison" factor like you mentioned ("worryung about others") i have witnessed athletes watch a video of another kid, who appears bigger, faster and better and it just sucks the life out of them. i was a 90s athlete, you didnt know much about other competitors unless they made the paper or tv..so we werent constantly reminded of the 16 year old in europe playung pro..or the 7'3" ...13 year old in montreal canada. my advice is to set timers on your phone with reminders of training or nutrition etc...actually use the phone as a tool, record yourself and see if your feints or fakes actually look good!.. and watch videos like this.

[@tjltraining]

Yes, the distractions, comparisons have always been there, at the end of the day most players have the same tools it’s all about how they use them

[@MarieTou-tm9sg]

Thanks a lot coach 🤝

[@tjltraining]

Yessir!!

[@jameshhh-ms6qu]

I think this is something thst we learn better from experience and trial n error

[@tjltraining]

Definitely but if you wait to learn by experience it’ll be too late, smart people learn fro other people’s mistakes

[@emanueledecicco7697]

Thanks coach, Unfortunately I've been thinking too much about what people say, since I started going beyond my comfort zone I'm seeing improvements

[@tjltraining]

Keep going 💪🏼

Hey coach , do you have any drills to help me get better with being a point guard. I struggle with my dribbling and driving in

[@tjltraining]

Yo can u make a video on a good drill for kids cause I’m like 11 and when I go to the court I just shoot around is there any other drill

[@tjltraining]

Got lots of them on my channel so def look around some of my other videos and full workouts

So for a 11 yr old I should start with defense or shooting cause I’m only 4’10

[@charliecoveney1452]

Develop your ball control and finishing at the rim and always play against others to see if your getting better and a lot of shooting

@@charliecoveney1452 I know its a dumb question but what do you mean by ball control and for the finishing like floater and as an 11 yr. old do you need to do jelly's or fancy layups or shoot with a good percentage because I can shoot but sometimes/ most of the time there's always something wrong with my shot.

[@charliecoveney1452]

Not you definitely don’t need any fancy moves when starting out just focus on the basics and try to master your shot and look up dribbling tutorials and combos to learn and practice at games speed so your used to pressure and handling the ball while moving with speed.

Hi! I’m Anna,16 years old and I’m Russia basketball player. I wan be better. So my high 178 (5′ 10″). My whole life I play C and PF. Now I playing PF. I really need to become a forward or Shooting guard. Every single day I practice a lot, But I don't know how to train for results. In our country it is not usual that a child can train additionally and a lot. So sometimes I don't get a gym and have to train outside. But winter is coming and I'll have to do something about it. Every day I learn English, Therefore, there may be errors. I need advice on how to change my attitude, how to make a proper training plan and it gets easier. I really need advice, no one else can give it to me. I need advice on how to change my playing position, how to make a proper training plan and to be the best I can be. I really need advice, there is no one with me who can help me

[@AisonBeHoopin]

Am i doing enough? I do 2 workouts on Mondays, Tuesdays,Thursdays, sometimes Friday, and sometimes Saturday. I also do ankle and knee strengthening workouts and plyometrics. I can’t tell if i’m doing enough to get better.

[@tjltraining]

All depends on what those workouts look like and what you are actually getting out of them, as I explained in the video you can be working hard but getting nowhere

[@spidey4ever100]

Are you improving in games?

[@philadelphiapioneersbasket800]

I don’t know anybody who goes to the gym and works on their game just to say they did it

[@tjltraining]

[@pierreclifton1865]

ANYONE CAN ANSWER: What is the best play style for less athletic players??

[@CedricQuartey]

Master the fundamentals of basketball, including communication, learn your sets, study defensive players and learn how to guard against more athletic players, and give maximum effort in everything you do on and off the court.
