Basketball Routine at Home

Image
For most spectators, playing basketball may not seem to be a big deal. They see players dribbling, passing and shooting baskets – or missing some – and think to themselves that that’s all to it. But each and every player knows that to earn a spot in the team, you need to put in a lot of effort, hard work, and dedication to play the game of basketball. “Remember that basketball is a game of habits. If you make the other guy deviate from his habits, you’ve got him” – Bill Russell “Remember that basketball is a game of habits.” Bill Russell is right, and we can’t emphasize enough the importance of a basketball routine and developing a healthy habit out of it. As gyms remain closed for now, consider having your basketball routine right from your own home. Start by doing simple drills and move forward from there. Dribble and pass on Mondays and Fridays, shoot on Tuesdays, and stretch and do station drills on Wednesdays. This not only helps to improve muscle memory and build a strong immune ...

Jamal Murray on Why You Don't Need to Be a 1 Sport Athlete to Get to the Next Level

Image
JAMAL MURRAY CONTRIBUTOR The first martial arts movie I ever watched was this old Chinese film called  Five Deadly Venoms.  I was seven years old. My dad and I were sitting in front of the TV on the floor in our living room. It starts out with this old kung fu master and his student. They’re in a temple or a cave somewhere in China and there’s smoke rising from a fire. The student is heating water for the master’s bath. The master is old and dying. He has one last wish. He instructs his student to go on a mission to defeat the master’s five former pupils, who have turned evil. Each of the bad guys has a unique fighting style named for an animal: the Centipede, the Lizard, the Scorpion, the Snake, and the Toad. To take down each one, the master explains, the student will have to learn all five styles. As a kid, a lot of these movies went over my head. I couldn’t really follow the dialogue all the time. But that didn’t matter. I just loved them. Even the fact that they ...

Student-athletes have busy lives, and setting aside time to get organized is critical for successful time management. Identify time at the beginning of the week to lay out what you have coming up. This helps you prioritize what's most important. Differentiate between urgent and important. He uses the example of a paper due tomorrow and an exam in two weeks. The exam is important, but the paper is urgent. Understanding the difference helps you prioritize your efforts. _...

The Importance of Summer Camps & Clinics: Adding Depth to your Child's Game

Image
Why should your Child attend Camps & Clinics?  With many youth basketball teams, the trend over the past couple decades has been to play more games and do less skill work. While games are important, your child needs a healthy balance of game time and practice time. The problem with more games and less practice is that your child will touch the ball much less. With more touches, your child becomes a better basketball player.  With all things being equal, we'll break down a typical 32-minute game:  32 x 5 = 160 total minutes for a team of 8 players.  160 minutes / 8 players = 20 minutes per player.  20 minutes per player / 2 = 10 minutes of time that your team is on offense.  10 minutes / 5 players = your child is only touching the ball for two minutes per game!!  During our typical skill sessions, the player will have the ball in their hands 60 to 90 minutes.  That means you have to play 30 to 45 games to touch the ball as much as...
