- How to Be a Good High School Basketball Player
Here is a list of some of the ways limited skills players can make a high school basketball team.
- BE EARLY: Get to the gym early and work on the skills that will help you make the team. You are being watched from the minute you walk in the gym. Do not take crazy half-court shots. Focus on shots you will take during the scrimmage.
- BE THE LAST TO LEAVE: Tryouts are 1 – 5 days. For some players it might be the only days in the gym because they will be cut. Make the most of your time and stay a little after the tryout if you are allowed and work on some skills that will help you improve.
- BE IN THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE:
- SPRINT TO THE PAINT ON DEFENSE: Transition defense is an important part of high school basketball. Do not mess around trying to steal the ball in the backcourt. Spring to the paint and be the 1st (or one of the 1st) player back on defense.
- TALK ON DEFENSE: This is one of the easiest things to do that will help you get noticed because almost no high school players do this consistently. Always be talking on defense.
- DO PUSH-UPS EVERYDAY! How easy is this. No basketball skill involved. Simply do 25 – 100 pushups each day. This will help with strength. Very few players do this.
