Before succeeding at anything, you must research and learn how to do it. Why would you expect to become a great basketball player if you don't research the game? The following tips have helped pros become the players they are.
Watch your form while you dribble the ball. When you dribble a basketball you have to use the fingertips instead of the hand's palm. Using your fingers allows you to better control the basketball. Avoid dribbling in front of you and only dribble to the sides of your body. Don't look down, always look up.
Free throws are as much mental as they are physical. It's easy to physically train for a free throw, yet mental preparation is also needed. You are more likely to make more successful free throws if you relax and focus on the basket.
Practice catching passes often. When you practice, drill yourself to pay attention to errant throws and passes that are picture perfect. When the game is going on, every pass isn't going to make it to its target. Therefore, learn how to catch any type of pass so that you can help lead your team to victory.
Shake things up rather than focusing solely on a zone defense. Most of the game is played in zone, but your opponent may try to switch things up to do man-to-man coverage. If you haven't trained yourself to counter this, you could lose any control you have over the game.
In order to be your best on defense, take the time to completely understand the player you are guarding. Watch replays and follow scouting reports. You should know if a player is right or left handed. Knowing an opponent's dribbling, passing and shooting styles gives you a definite edge on defense. One of the most important keys to being a solid defender is an understanding of your opponent.
Speed is one of the best virtues when playing basketball. Speeding up the temp allows you to out-quick your opponent. Consistent, repetitive drilling is the key to speed. But don't try to go even faster than you actually are. If you try to rush your play, and can't keep up, you will turn the ball over or make unforced mistakes.
If the opposing team is guarding you to much, you can try a pass between your legs. To practice, simply bounce the basketball between your legs while stepping either forward or backwards. If this move is something you master, you'll have an advantage when you go out to play a game.
Consistent free throws require a consistent technique. Inconsistent shooting will lead to inconsistent results. The most effective method to achieve a great free throw is by practicing it repeatedly until you get it right. If you don't stick to your routine, you could miss the shot.
There are many things that can make you feel great. Pride that is not easily matched but can be bolstered by learning and reading about how you can improve your game. Learning to play effectively will help you win games and impress your teammates.
