How Girls Basketball Players Can Improve Their Game

April 6th, 2010

Some basketball players are satisfied with being an average player or just being on the team. While the top players, are not. They enjoy the attention, the competition, the leadership role and responsibility. It is quite easy to turn your game around and become a top player. The question is “do you have the desire?” Listed below are the things you must do to improve your game.

1. Listen to your coach.

The first key to improving your game is your coach. What is your coach always complaining or nagging you about? Rebounding. Defense. Hustling. Think about it. If you need specific directions on what to improve, go ask your coach. They will tell you what you need to work on and not only that, they will show you how to perform the task properly.

2. Work Extra.

Team practices are not the time to work on your individual game. You must find time outside of practice to work on the skills your coach told you to work on. Set one to two days to the side each week to work on your game. You must be consistent. You will be surprised at how your game develops over time.

3. Set Goals.

Challenge yourself. Setting goals gives you the opportunity to go after something. If you average 2 rebounds per game, set a goal to double that. If you have the role to defend the best offensive player during a game, set a goal to hold them within a certain amount of points.

Improving your game is not hard to do. It takes desire, consistency and the willingness to work. Are you willing and ready?

Sometimes you’re probably having these bad days – committing too many turnovers, coach is yelling at you, telling you that you’ve made bad decisions while all you want is to improve your game. Want to avoid these situations and dramatically improve your performance? – Read the following tip carefully.

Making the Right Decisions

Making the right decisions on a basketball game is one of the most important aspects a player must consider. It doesn’t matter if a player runs faster or jumps higher than any one else on court, if he turns the ball too often he will simply end up sitting on the bench.

Take Steve Nash for example, he is not taller or faster than other talented NBA players, yet, he was selected the NBA MVP… The secret is all about decision making skills.

Basketball tips to remember about decision making skills:

(1) An athletic ability is great – it will definitely give you the opportunity to play, however smart decision making skills will keep you on the court.

(2) While your team is on the offense, coach expects you to read the game and identify opportunities to take shots. All that, while you listen to his or hers’ instructions.

(3) Smart basketball players are those who think fast and quickly analyze the game, in order to find these opportunities that will enable them make the right decisions.

Want to Improve your Decision Making Skills?

Well, dribbling is easy for you as is following coaches’ instructions. Now, following coaches’ instructions from the bench while dribbling isn’t that easy.

Here is one of the best basketball tips that will improve your decision making skills on court:

Start by dribbling up and down the court; try to mix it up with between your legs or behind your back etc. While doing so, do the following:

(1) Spell the A-B-C, not that difficult. Don’t stop dribbling.

(2) Spell the A-B-C backwards Z-Y-X. Now it’s not that easy…

(3) When you master this drill, add your first name, age, phone no. etc. – everything backwards.

This exercise will help you think while you execute other basketball tasks. It will help you to perform better on the court.
