Serious Advice for Basketball Players

Here is some key advice every serious basketball player should consider:

1. Become mentally tough.

2. Be one of the most physically fit on the court.

3. Become a pure shooter.

4. Time equals talent. There is no shortcut.

5. Colleges need student-athletes. Great grades significantly improve your scholarship and college playing options.

6. Vertical jump is the single best predictor of athletic talent.

7. Textbook footwork, foundational skills, and flawless handles are the bedrock of valuable players.

8. Fundamentals without basketball IQ equals wasted movement.

9. Coaches recruit either perfect basketball players or perfect basketball bodies. Great coaches recruit both. Perfect basketball players change the game when they are on the court. They improve the score, the other teammates, the quality of the game. A perfect basketball body means you are athletically and physically dominant. Look around the world, are you a superior athlete?

Most athletes are not genetically gifted with a perfect basketball body; therefore, you must develop perfect basketball abilities.

Become a player committed to the process of becoming great. A parent or coach can’t dominate you into this mindset and lifestyle. You must make it your own. Own Your Future
