Basketball: Playing as Well as You Practice: Perform In Your Games Just As Well - If Not Better - Th
Do you play confidently and balls out in meaningless pickup games but then play like a bum in the real games and tryouts? You've been working on your game. You know what you're capable of; you've done it over and over again in practice, scrimmages, and games against your friends. Then game time comes, and...nothing. Your performance does not reflect the same person who put in all that time. You're not doing any of your moves. You don't assert yourself. You're invisible on the court. Knowing the skills you have, this is really frustrating. Is it mental? Is it physical? Is it something else? It's a little bit of all those and more. This workbook, Playing as Well as You Practice, will move you past it. Upon completion of this workbook, you will: Play with full confidence in the biggest moments Never have another deer-in-the-headlights moment on the basketball court Erase all performance-anxiety problems and conquer the cues that cause it Step on the court with an aggressive mindset that keeps you on the offensive, never nervous or hesitant Know the exact mental cues you'll use to lock yourself into a mindset that's congruent with your highest level of performance

Basketball: Which Position Should You Play?: The Positions of 'Positionless' Basketball and Where Yo
Using Which Position Should I Play?, you will know: Best utilize your skills to help a team Play your ideal position Describe your game to an interested coach or scout Contribute consistently to a team In basketball, unlike hockey, soccer, and baseball, any player can do anything. Score in the post. Dribble. Shoot the ball. Guard whomever has the ball on the opposition. Unlike a soccer midfielder, who cannot use his hands like the goalie, or a baseball shortstop, who can't throw pitches to the batter, a basketball player, as long as he is on the court, can perform any function the game requires. Anyone can move to any spot on the floor, and the same rules apply to every player regardless of size or designated position (if any). To this idea, basketball is and has always been "positionless," but it is still useful to have a general idea of what your game is. The better you know your own game, the more easily you fit into a role on a team. The better you know your own game, the better you can sell yourself to a coach or general manager who's looking to fill his roster. The better you know your own game, the more easily you can look at a game situation, see what is needed, and contribute. Even at the professional level, some coaches still want more structure: They will designate positions for players and sometimes define (or confine) players' roles based on those positions. This helps the coach maintain order and helps a coach hold players accountable for certain jobs on the court. It's not right nor wrong: On a basketball team, a coach is the boss, and the boss makes the rules. You want to know which skills to develop next, and you want that skill to seamlessly blend with your other skills. Plus, you may be a member of one of these more structured teams now or in the future.

Basketball: 30 Days to Tryouts: Sharpen Your Game And Your Mind For The Big Moment Of Basketball Try
If you read my first book, Buy a Game, you know what happened: I finally made the team my senior year, and the rest is history. I walked on in college, got recruited to another college after my freshman season, and played nine years of professional basketball in eight countries. During this process, in 2006, I began publishing videos to a new site called YouTube. Over the course of more than 7,000 videos, many players asked questions about a shared challenge that has kept myriad players from advancing in basketball: performing at tryouts. Some of the most common questions: How can I best impress the coach at tryouts? What can I do to stand out?What position should I play at tryouts? What if I'm not allowed to play my normal position during tryouts? How can I get the returning players to respect my game?What mindset should I have during tryouts? What can I do to better my skills with only a week's time before tryouts? Should I get hyped up before tryouts or remain calm and steady? I didn't make it this year. Can you tell me exactly what I should do to get ready for tryouts next season? I feel like my career will be over before it starts if I don't make the team - can you please help me get ready for tryouts? To address these questions and others on the subject of basketball-team tryouts, I created this workbook. By completing this workbook, you will: Know exactly what will be expected of you at tryoutsUnderstand your ideal mindset for playing your best and know how to get into this mindset at any timeBe able to relax yourself and defeat any possible nerves or performance anxiety before tryouts Perform to the best of your ability at tryouts, definitively securing the roster spot you covet
