today I spoke about how team chemistry brings all these fundamentals together. When your teammate knows you have his or her back it keeps you above every other team. This builds your whole team because you build each other and help each other in times of stuggle. if one player isn't making shots the other one is. if one player is not sure what the play is the other one tells him. you basically pick up the slack for your teammate. your coach should help with this.

Today spoke about the importance of passing. One extra pass could lead to a shot or a layup. If you make a pass at the wrong time it could lead to a turnover. the accuracy of the pass is also important. Passing is important mostly on fast breaks. be sure to work on that.

Progress

Today I spoke about hustle. hustle is another fundamental that creates opportunities on the fast break.
Hustle is diving for loose balls, getting back on defense, getting rebounds, helping teammates. This gives you team chemistry.

Today I spoke about the importance of your defense and your teams defense. Defense is important especially against a good ball handler. Your defense can create a fast break or any scoring opportunity for that matter. be sure to work at it as much as possible.

Progress

Today I spoke about the fast break and how getting back to the other end of the court is important because miss an opportunity to score or help a teammate if they are being guarded. I also spoke about how fast breaks are started by good defense always. The better your teams defense the more opportunities you have to score.

Today I spoke of the importance of play call. how crucial it is to pay attention to play call. this was a major part of my blog because I mentioned without play call you are like a dog with no leash. the team has to know what plays to run at the given time whether it be defense or offense.

Progress

My project is coming along really well. My research is a little behind because im not sure what person to research for advice.

Progress

Today I started talking about defense and how important it is. I also talked about how defense can create offense. This particular part of the project is also important because the better you play defense the more offense you create. whether it leading to a fastbreak, steal or a block or simply forcing a bad shot.

Todays goal was to explain the importance of defense. I feel I did accomplish this goal today even with a lack of useful resources. I still managed to accomplish this goal. overall I completed goal.

Im all caught up for my progress, but my blog posts are still behind. im getting it together now. Its taking some time as you see, but its coming along. The next part of my blog im going to be talking about developing a jumpshot.

Progress

Im starting to get the hang of this and Im managing my time as well. Im still a little behind on my blog posts, but its going ok.

Progress

Elevator Pitch

Do you wish to expand your IQ in basketball? You’ve came to the right person. I want to help those who want to better themselves in basketball. What I do is break down the basic steps of basketball all the way down to understanding plays. This is important to me because I was in slump when it came down to understanding the basic steps that needed to be taken in order to better myself in every area. So I wish to help others get out of that same slump.

 

To begin this project, you must know the most important thing about basketball is you must devote as much time in it as you can to get better. The first step to basketball is ball handling. This is first step because it is the most important. You will probably spend more time on this step more than any other. In order to get better, I suggest looking at specific drills online that you can do to get quicker with your hands. Other things to look at are developing a jump shot. This is also very important because without a reliable shot, your ball handling is useless.

 

Some resources to use while taking these steps are, the book called “The Basketball Playbook”. This is what I use most of the time. This book gives “tips- and-tricks” on how to recognize plays offensively and defensively. It also helps you understand plays being called by your team. It simply breaks down all the steps. I also will be receiving help from a teammate of mine. I believe he can help because he has more experience than me.

 

By the end of this project you will have a better understanding of basketball and further your IQ in basketball. This will be better for you in the future and take you further.

The project I'm doing is about my passion for basketball and all the hard work that goes into it. This may motivate those that want to pursue a basketball career such as myself. I created this blog just to give you some tips and basic fundamentals you can work on.
