Improving at the game of basketball for most players feels like a long and slow process.

Especially if they don't know what they're doing.

But that doesn't have to be the case with you.

My success came from five core principles that completely changed how I trained and how I thought about the game.

If you take this serious,

you'll start improving so fast it feels unfair.

And the best part is,

any basketball player can do this.

Let's get into it!

The difficulty of your workout schedule should be equal to the size of your goals.

If you want to be great,

you can't live the same way average people would.

During my sophomore year of high school,

I struggled to get any playing time on varsity.

I rode the bench the entire year,

except towards the end of the season.

I was subbed into one of our division rivalry games because our star player got into early foul trouble.

So I took his spot.

Now that was surprising.

But what I didn't tell you,

and what most people didn't see,

is that behind the scenes,

for that entire season, I worked out two to three times a day,

every single day of the year.

Shoot, man, I didn't even hang out with my friends that much during my high school years.

Like, I didn't have time to waste.

It's a sacrifice.

But depending on the level of your goal,

it requires an equal amount of sacrifice.

You have to sacrifice everything that gets in your way.

Now that you understand what it takes to be great,

let me help you get there.

Principle number one is have a plan.

One of my favorite authors,

Napoleon Hill, has a quote.

Plan your work and work your plan.

Before my sophomore year, all of my basketball workouts were based on what I felt like I should work on.

I never wrote down a workout plan or anything like that.

I just winged it.

Shockingly, not having a plan didn't go well.

I wasn't improving my skills effectively.

Let's think about this.

Over time, if we don't train a specific skill, that skill gets worse.

If you don't practice shooting for an entire month,

let's say your shooting attribute goes down by 5.

On the other hand, for a month,

if you train shooting every single day,

it may improve by 5.

See, bodybuilders know this, and they structure their workouts in such a way

that they hit every muscle group they need to in their workouts.

If they work out upper body on Mondays,

on Tuesdays, they'll hit legs, for example.

Or they'll never hit legs,

because legs is not fun.

But each workout for upper body

or lower body is different in order to hit the muscles that they didn't hit the last time they worked out.

So now understanding this principle,

you need to plan your workouts accordingly.

For this example, let's say shooting is your biggest weapon.

You need to practice shooting every day.

But to make sure you're not a one-dimensional player,

you need to incorporate training in different skills.

Here's an example of a training schedule that you can use for yourself.

Sundays are going to be your rest day.

Monday to Saturday, have a shooting workout.

Ball handling will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Finishing will be on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

So on every single day,

you're working two completely different skill sets,

but you're always getting your shooting work in.

Now if that sounds overwhelming to you, I get it.

Trying to figure out how to plan your workouts,

track your progress, and really to just stay on top of things is hard.

Here's my solution.

You may have seen bodybuilders tracking their progress,

tracking their workouts, and self-assessing themselves with their training journals, right?

Well, now you can track your goals,

you can track your workouts,

your game performances, your confidence levels,

and so much more with the 365-day basketball training journal.

This is my attempt at creating a solution for basketball players that struggle with tracking their workouts,

tracking their progress with basketball,

because nobody has given us a roadmap for it.

And everybody just says, oh,

well, you know, you got to be consistent and you got to have a plan.

Like, yes, but how can we actually execute on a plan and create that for ourselves?

This is the way to do it.

By the way, I never realized how frustrating publishing a book was until now.

Like, wow.

Anyway, if you are interested in getting one for yourself,

click the top link in the description.

Now, some of y'all might also be thinking,

oh, well, you know, that's great and all,

but I still have to plan the workouts and everything.

I don't know how to make a workout schedule for myself and everything.

Look, I have basketball workouts on that same page.

So when you buy a training journal,

you can get half off on either one of the collections or the bundles of all the different workout sets,

whether it be shooting, passing, ball handling or finishing.

100

You can get one of those for yourself.

101

You get the beginner all the way up to the advanced levels

102

and you can use those workouts to help you progress in your basketball journey Once again 50% off

103

if you get it with the journal.

104

All right, man I know that was a lot of yap,

105

but I hope this helps y'all.

106

I love y'all boys Let's get back to the video multiple

107

short workouts are much better than one long training session Let's

108

say we had two basketball players all variables are the same such as their height weight body type sleep diet,

109

etc Everything is the same.

110

If both players spent the same amount of total time training per week,

111

but one player had one long session three days a week,

112

while the other split his workouts into multiple shorter sessions and trained six days a week,

113

who's going to improve faster?

114

My guess would be the guy who split his workouts into multiple shorter sessions.

115

He can get more out of every training session.

116

If you have a three hour long intense basketball workout,

117

you will be exhausted about halfway through or at least not at your peak in about an hour.

118

The next two hours of the workout may be beneficial for like your mental toughness

119

but the quality of your reps will be diminished.

120

To add on to my reasoning,

121

muscle memory is crucial in basketball.

122

Have you ever come back from spring break to the first practice and forgot how to dribble a basketball?

123

To improve fast at basketball,

124

you need to reinforce your muscle memory as much as humanly possible.

125

I'll give you an analogy and I hope it makes sense.

126

Whenever you train, basketball touches certain spots in your brain to activate it.

127

The more touch points you give it, the better.

128

This is the method Kobe Bryant used to surpass everyone as a kid.

129

But it's simple, like if you do the math on this, right?

130

Like if you're thinking about how often kids are playing,

131

if you wanna be a great player,

132

if you play every single day,

133

two, three hours, every single day,

134

over the course of a year,

135

how much better are you getting?

136

Most kids will play maybe,

137

you know, an hour and a half, two days a week.

138

All it took was one summer of splitting his workouts throughout the day and staying consistent.

139

And by that point, shoot,

140

it was too late for everybody else.

141

Now, understanding those two principles alone will already help you improve faster than most basketball players.

142

But if you don't apply this next principle,

143

you are missing out on something that could really accelerate your growth.

144

All right, so principle number three is something that I used even back in middle school,

145

but I went about it in the wrong way for years,

146

and it wasn't until this year when I figured it all out.

147

You must set tangible goals.

148

What the heck is a tangible goal?

149

The definition of tangible is perceptible by touch, clear and definite, real.

150

The definition of a goal is the object of a person's ambition or effort,

151

an aim or desired result.

152

Now for something to be a tangible goal,

153

it must have the ability to be measured and be perceptible by touch.

154

You can't say, oh my goal is to be the best basketball player I can be,

155

because that isn't measurable and that's not tangible.

156

That is an effect of tangible work,

157

but that's not really a goal.

158

Instead ask yourself, what do I have to do in order to become the best basketball player I can be?

159

Then, based on your answers, set your goals.

160

For example, I will train X amount of hours a day,

161

Y days a week, with Z amount of intensity.

162

Let me reiterate the part when I said tangible goals can be measured and perceptible by touch.

163

You can measure stats.

164

You can measure progress.

165

You can't measure emotion.

166

Reclaring that you'll become the best player you can be is an empty promise.

167

Because you'll never know if you became the best player you can possibly be.

168

Your potential is limitless.

169

For a goal to be perceptible by touch,

170

it must be something that has a specific destination or moment when you can say,

171

I achieved this.

172

I accomplished what I set out to do.

173

Being the best you can be is an ongoing process.

174

And it never ends until you stop playing.

175

Tangible goals are in your control.

176

There are no outside factors in play.

177

The only thing that will stop you from achieving your goals is you.

178

And that is the greatest game to play.

179

Principle number four, you must experiment in pickup and offseason games.

180

That is the time to add to your bag and become a better player overall.

181

You can take the time to learn what works and what doesn't.

182

But most basketball players are so afraid to make a mistake in organized basketball.

183

Understandably so.

184

You know, they fear making a mistake,

185

getting subbed out, and having to ride the bench the rest of the game

186

because the coach has a short leash on them.

187

That's understandable.

188

But the great players don't have to worry about that because even if they make 20 mistakes,

189

they won't get subbed out.

190

So if you're tired of getting subbed out because you made one mistake,

191

you got to become so good that the coach has to play you.

192

My dad has always been in my corner,

193

but there's one thing that he will never let me get away with.

194

That being having a victim mindset.

195

My dad and I had long conversations about how I wasn't getting playing time and that I deserve more,

196

blah, blah, blah.

197

But one day, my dad said something to me that I've carried with me into the rest of my life,

198

including you two.

199

He said, if you are working as hard as you can and you're not getting the results you want,

200

you're probably working the wrong way.

201

He described to me that I was so intense and

202

that I could never relax in games and that was holding me back.

203

He taught me to work harder than everyone in practice but develop the emotional control to drop the tenseness during games.

204

That's how I play my best.

205

So step one, become so good that your coach has to play you and step two,

206

let go and have fun and step three,

207

experiment in games and try new things.

208

This final principle is what will keep your success intact.

209

If you follow the principles outlined in this video,

210

you will grow to be very successful.

211

And that's great.

212

But if you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,

213

I can tell you from personal experience,

214

your life will come crashing down.

215

Here's a passage from the gospel according to Matthew chapter 16 verse 24 to 28.

216

Then Jesus told his disciples,

217

if anyone would come after me,

218

let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

219

For whoever would save his life will lose it,

220

but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

221

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?

222

For what shall a man give in return for his soul?

223

For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father,

224

and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

225

Truly I say to you,

226

there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

227

Amen.

228

My interpretation of that last line is that people will never taste the death of their false selves,

229

or in other words, their ego, until they meet Jesus.

230

Paul tells us that we must die to ourselves daily.

231

Now, I don't know about y'all,

232

but that is tough for me to know.

233

When I was younger, I believed

234

that becoming a great basketball player would solve all my problems and I would become a new person.

235

But no, I was the same old person with the same old problems,

236

but I was good at basketball.

237

Little did I know that if anyone is in Christ,

238

old things are passed away.

239

Behold, all things become new.

240

Look to Jesus Christ, trust in him,

241

and he will fill that void in your heart.

242

If you're anything like me,

243

I know you feel like something is missing in your life.

244

You're doing all the right things,

245

but you just feel off.

246

God is calling you.

247

Answer the call and surrender your life to Jesus Christ when you feel ready.

248

He will wait as long as it takes.

249

He loves you and wants the best for you.

250

And so do I.

251
