Basketball Jumping Secrets

Welcome Back fellow scoring greats,

I say greats because if you follow my advice you can be a scoring great as you help your team win ball games.

The fourth lesson is to work on getting better ball control which includes handling the ball through dribbling and how well you hold the ball as you shoot.

The best scorers know how to create space between them and the defender.  You must working on your ball handling skills to the point where you can make the ball go where you what it to go which is the key to success.

Many young  players are mistaken and think they have to be a human highlight reel when they dribble during a game;  this thinking will only distrack you and make your game very inefficient.

The majority scorers are very efficient in what they do on the court.  Your focus should be the same as you work on specialized skills to set you apart from regular players.

Remember everytime you step in the gym know that you can hold your own against any other player on the court.

Now according to where you are skill wise you are going to have to spend some time focusing on what is going to make you comfortable on the court.  Basketball is a game of angles and misdirection.  The best way to manipulate both these factors is ball control.

To find a confort zone, look for 1 – 5 drills (or drills I recommend) to work on consistantly to increase your confidence and your skill level.

Combine ball control with conditioning and mental strength and you will be well on your way of taking control of any basketball situation.

Welcome back it is now day number three as we continue on our journey to becoming the best offensive force on any basketball court.

I am currently watching two of the best scorers in the NBA the Miami Heat’s Dwayne Wade and the Washington Wizard’s Gilbert Arenas. 

One of the best ways to learn the scorers mentality is to observe the best.

Now what do I mean by “Last Man Standing” simply outlast your opponent through conditioning.  Many players take conditioning for granted.  Having legs that can run and jump for extended periods of time will set you apart from ordinary players.

Before any playing season always do a little extra in the weight room and on the track to prepare for an outstanding scoring season.

It has been stated that “Fatigue makes weaklings of us all” this quote says it best. 

Remember to sign up for my email newsletter which gives an overview of one of the best leg conditioning programs I have ever used.  The Jump Manual will give you the edge you will need to out jump and outlast anyone on the court.

Offensive rebounds are essential to round out any good offensive players bag of tricks.  Being quick off the floor will get you more and more rebounds and tip-ins to pad your stats.

I will get into specific drills later as we continue on our Dynamic Scorers Series journey.

Let me know what you think is keeping you from playing you best basketball.

Welcome back to day 2 of the Dynamic Scores Series, where in the the next 30 plus days I am going to talk about  becoming a better scorer on the basketball court.

First and foremost improving the way you think about the way you play ball will automatically increase your ability to score.

You will here many basketball experts talk about players having the scores mentality; this mentality is what you need to develop in order to take your point totals to the next level.

Now scoring does not necessarily mean shooting the ball more times in a given game even though in many situations your teammates will expect you to shoot the ball instead of pass.

You always want to try and score in the most efficient way possible.

One of my main problems growing up was worring about what everyone else thought about the way I played which was my biggest issue.  I never played to my full potential because of this one crutch.

I always viewed myself in comparison to someone else which caused me to doubt my own individual skills. 

I tell you now to never ever ever doubt your individual skills.  You may come up short based on how fine tuned your game is right now but  never sale your current skill set short.

Be confident in your current skill set and do not let anyone tell you otherwise.  Own your game and don’t let outside influences compromise your integrity as a player.

Learn to play in the moment.

Check out the book “The Power of Now” by Eckart Tolle`.  He gives you instructions on how to get out of the past and stop worring about the future and live in the present moment.

The present moment is critical in obtaining the scores mentality.  Every play is diffent from the last.  Shooters get out of slumps by forgetting about the past.  Shooters stay hot by focusing on the present moment.

Hitting the big shot consistantly over time gets easier when all of a sudden it is not the big shot.  In your mind the shot is now just another shot which just happen to be at the end of the game.

For many this will be a hard technique to master because we have been brought up in a time where the ego is strong.  The key is to learn to be self aware.

That’s it for today, think about what I have written and be sure to observe some of the top scores in the NBA and NCAA and test my theories.  I know what I am talking about.

Please leave your comments and let me know what you think and what you what to discuss in future post.  And always practice makes (near) perfect.
