[QUOTE=bobbyflay]Update: Beginning 3 week explosive training
strength training: pros-made me have more muscle/feel somewhat stronger/free throws are so much easier now
cons-made me somewhat slower/messed up my arc/
I feel that I have improved free throw shooting, basketball IQ, defence, and maybe more these 2 weeks of strength training. I somehow feel that I have destroyed my arc, but I'm working on it these next 3 weeks. The consequences are me missing more 3's/jump shots/more in and outs.

Yeah don't worry about your shot being a little off. The weight training will shock your muscles but you'll get used to it eventually. Just remember to shoot with good form after every workout, because that's how you get better. Don't try to make the shot if it compromises form, form is key here.
basketball is a 70% mental game
Update: I can't really say that I improved anything..only trained twice this week, because of party/went to two fairs. I actually got somewhat weaker? but I improved my basketball intelligence.
Improvements: I can now spot more opportunities on the offensive side and defensive side. It's cool. It seems like everything is in slow motion. Example: Me see two defenders not guarding middle. Me teammate to the left side but fail shooter so me not pass until get open for layup. Me do crossover to man. No reaction so me do another crossover to blow by. Me do jumpstop into left layup. Me score!!!
Need Improvements:I need to rework on my wrist movement in my shooting process. It's like when I practice free throws, it's either a perfect swish or an in and out. I play this game where I try to get at least 50% free throw or more out of a certain number of shots. I make around 4-10 in a row then I miss 3-10 in and outs in a row. It frustuates me alot, because I sometimes go to 40-80 with this game with that pattern.
Summary: Negative: Got weaker(don't know how this happened at all)/need to work on wrist movement(in and outs often)/must run faster(getting mile at 6 40, must get at least 5:50 or something). Positive: More basketball intelligence(better reaction)/more feel of the ball(like an extention of my body

You're running miles? I guess that's one way to condition but me personally I try to stick to court drills because if you keep working on that mile you'll lose strength in the enlargement of slow twitch muscles. A mile is way too long, a basketball court is less than 100 feet. Even a conventional 40 is extra.

Nah, I'm not actually running miles as my training. Yeah, I heard of becoming less explosive if you run long distances, but I try to balance myself.
mini update: found out my shooting form was way too wrong. I have been shooting with two hands. No wonder there was so many in and outs.. I believe I have found my perfect shooting form though. From 3 feet away from the basketball, I could shoot 48/50 shots, while my old one was around 42/50.
Update: I really REALLY need help with my basketball training schedule. All the training schedules I heard from people are way different. They practice moves they use in the game. Maybe I should do drills one day then alternate with practicing moves the next then alternate again.
Improvements:I guess I got stronger.. I corrected my shooting form. I can almost shoot free throws with it now.
Need Improvements: I need to hurry with getting used to my old shooting form. I'm not getting any better.. I need to change my basketball training schedule. It's way too much. I need to get better defence. I tend to give my opposition space. What I'm realizing though is that they are taking the jump shots because they know I'm not close enough to block it. I have to mix all my game into one and master it.
Summary:Negative: not getting any better(must rework my basketball skill training) Positive: corrected my shooting form before it was too late

When you train, you should be trying your hardest to simulate a game situation. If you're not going to use the moves you're practicing, then don't bother practicing them. Do everything game speed from game spots.
Under "needs improvements": did you mean hurry to get used to your new shooting form? If so, don't hurry because when you change form you need to make sure you replicate it every time. Do not play pickup games or any kind of competitive game because usually you'll revert back to your old form and inconsistency will make it impossible to develop the new form.
Always play close to your man, but not close enough where he can blow by you. Rely on quick feet and anticipation. If you back off too much you're relying on his shot and with good scorers you can't do that.

Yeah, I just realized that with Maga's helpful post. I was just doing drills in my workout, but not in game situations. No wonder I was failing hardcore in 5v5s. I guess I'll stop practicing every single move, but the moves that are useful to my style like euro step, crossover, in and out dribble, stutter step, and behind the back.
Yeah, it's hard not using my old form in pick up games. I get frustuated, because I can't even shoot from the range of free throws with it. I must hurry though, because basketball is starting in a couple of months.
Yeah, the people I play pick up with usually did layups. I started backing off and making them get around 25% on their layups. I guess I became one sided defense or something, so they started taking jump shots more often. I'll try recognizing the people I play with and the people I could play with and what should I do in those situations. I'll practice them in my training.
Update: Oh yeah and when I mean if I can't make the shot it means I can't do a set shot. I'm making up a basketball workout each time so not good..I must create one soon or might as well combine them into one. I'm joining basketball next week. I can shoot free throw points but there on and off. Sometimes I just hit the rim 10 times in a row. Sometimes I just airball completely 5 times in a row. Sometimes I just swish 10 in a row.
Improvement:somewhat developing leadership qualities on the court. can shoot free throws on and off now.
need improvement:must get faster! must develop ultimate basketball training for myself. must watch more games.(can anyone send me a site where you can watch the stuff to learn in basketball besides youtube? all they have are nba all star games which are sloppy).
Summary:Negative:I must practice more consistently/rework schedule/improve everything about myself/ Positive: not really anything, I haven't practiced for a week

ahh alright. bookmarked it :D. First day of training today. It looks like I have to step up my game.. Most of the JV people were supposed to be in varsity, but they were held back until next year. Training isn't that hard though except for the jumping.
Update:I must continue to find the ultimate training to do at home. No wonder basketball players only do training for a max of 2 hours or a little more..They're too tired from working out lol. I kept on procrasinating this past week. When I did try to train, I fell and hurt my ankle and limped for 2 days. When it healed, during a basketball game at a park, a freaking football was thrown right into my wrist and I had to make it heal for 2 days again. Now, I'm back in business baby.
Need Improvements:Everything for now.. Shots are way off for not training this past week and weights. My handles got ALOT worse from not training for 2 weeks on them and weights.
Improvements:Physically, there were none..Mentally, with my coach's words..I found new love in basketball again.
Summary:Negative:can't take this anymore, I'm going to make a schedule for basketball training that can balance my weight training/school work/basketball skills/ Positive:faith in basketball restored to a whole notha level

Yeah, it's better to train harder/smarter than to train longer. You'll know you trained hard when it becomes impossible and inefficient to keep practicing.
Don't worry too much about finding the perfect training program. A lot of people (including myself before) spend too much time thinking instead of doing: is my form right? how should I crossover? is that a travel? am I jumping high enough?
They spend too much time worrying how they should be doing the drills, that they never do the drills themselves. Don't worry about form too much, pick one you like and feel comfortable with and stick with it. In a game, you don't have time to think about form so why bother worrying so much about it?

Yeah, I guess your right. One hour before my practice, I would imagine the ingame situations I encountered today and counter it. I would also look at some videos. I do feel like warming up for 5 minutes and then practicing 15 minutes on drills/passing. Then I would work on my moves for 10-15 minutes. Then I would proceed to be doing 20-30 minutes on the shooting from everywhere this one poster said(It was very informed, something about them combining everything. Problem is that I can't do it all in 20 minutes. My backyard is a junkyard, so whenever I miss, it would send the ball 50 feet in a direction). Then I would do the ingame situations I struggled with today and some more for 20-30 minutes. Oh dang forgot freethrows, I would probably make 5-10 in between those drills. Wow, I just realized I created the workout I was looking. Thanks for making me blow out my thoughts LOL

Yeah not having a rebounder gets annoying, but sometimes there's nothing you can do. For free throws, to save time, do them at the end of the workout or whenever you feel exhausted. It's best to simulate them like a late 4th quarter situation where you're sore and tired. For me, I try and imagine as much pressure as I can, because this is practice and it'll help me when the real thing comes.
And yeah, make a plan and stick to it. You'll see the results and if not, just switch it up.
Update:Wow alot of great players just joined recently. I need to really step up my game. Now I'm willing to train for 2 hours independently. There are these 2 really good point guards. I could be better than one of them if I trained for about an hour and 30 minutes each day(he has bad defence, bad arc, and several other things). The other guy... He has great arc(guess I could train my arc and beat him in that), fantastic shooting(shooting 50% my god and I'm around 30%), great defence(first day he came and he's already stopping a ballhog. The ballhog penetrates the defence really well.), and so many other things..
Need Improvements: I must perfect my shooting form(I'm starting to feel automatic randomly. It's like I'm making 5-10 shots in a row from any spot)/I must play better defence(For some reason, I became a bad defender again. They're penetrating more against me. I guess I have to be more aggresive now.)/I must develop more leadership(trying out for point guard so duh) and be a man(tried talking to the coach yesterday to get to know him and then he just started raging randomly and I just walked away)
Improvements: Rediscovered my passion yet again/shooting form is becoming perfect/none others
Summary: Well, I guess I have to try my best on the court now. I used to only stop when I couldn't breathe. Now, I just stop, because I'm too lazy for some reason.

Keep it up
Update:I combined my old training with steve nash's training, and it did wonders. I improved my shooting by around 5% or so from just one day. I have to be honest though. I thought I would do it everyday, but I only did it once in the 4 day period. 2 of the days I was tired and the other 2 I was lazy. I think I'll change it so mon/wednesday/friday/sunday is just working on ingame situations and tuesday/thursday/saturday is the real training. A flood of homework came from high school recently.
Need Improvements:Well, everything I stated from earlier.
Improvements:Nothing..
Summary:I need to balance school/basketball/video games/friends. This is just way too much for me to handle.
Oh yeah, another question :D How do you analyse a player's game?(im having a hard time doing that) and why did the tips stop coming?(I was looking through the forums for my old thread but it turned out this was the one. People probably stopped giving tips because they thought I made this into just a log).

When I analyze a player's game I try and see the small things they do, like movement off ball. How much do they cut and are those cuts realistic or are they just going through the movements. Then on defense, if they box out or not and how long they stay on ball until they give up and call for help D.
On offense, I look at their fakes and how realistic those are. I also look at their visual cues like jabs and eye movements, to see if they're really trying to sell their defender a drive or a shot. If it's a drive, how close to the defender's body are they driving past? Or is it arcing away from the defender? Once they beat their defender, I try and see if they cut back in front of their defender to seal them out of the play and whether they look to make a play or try and score, and how controlled they appear to be.
How can you say you improved 5% in just one day?
Sometimes is "just a day", sometimes you score with 80%, others with 40% and you're doing just the same practice.
@carpevicis:well I knew it was about small things but those things opened my mind. I can't imagine what nba players such as kobe bryant notice.
@Maga:yeah, I guess you're right. I'll try my hardest to follow my program this entire week and to say what happened.
I don't know about you, but I feel every day I improve a great deal. I'm constantly thinking so some days I'll come up with a new drill, or a new move and other days I'll work on my handle and my shot and I'll know it's getting better. That's why I'm never worried about not getting better; just playing and watching people play I learn about so I know I'm improving both skillwise and IQ-wise.

That's the spirit bro, keep the good work.
yeah great state of mind. I played with some of my freshmen team and twas chaotic.. I'll tell it in more detail in my other thread.
Mini Update: I'm getting really tired with the school work. There's a 3 page essay everyday from just a reading class. My passion for basketball may be losing and slipping a bit, but my love for it is undying. I guess I gained more knowledge of the freshmen team, but that's about it.

Don't let it slip bro. I had the school issue also but in the end, I fixed it by really organizing myself and cutting out time I didn't need. If need be, go to school early so you can finish the paper, because you love basketball. Schoolwork is a temporary issue, once you get back on the right track you'll be glad you didn't spend too much time wasted on school. Isn't passion the same as love though?

Well to me they are different. I can't really explain them though.. It's like passion is just liking the game. It's just like with a friend. He has passion but he lacks alot of love with the game. He sometimes go on bouts to train for 3 hours and then he might just stop training altogether, because he's just focused on something else. He just plays the game to just well.. play it. To me though, love is suffering through the worst and just finding the good things in it. You just don't ignore it, but you deal with it. Today, it started snowing lol. I was playing outside with my friend(I had to tell him a 30 minute essay about passion and love for him to come haha). The people watching us were like "What the hell are those guys doing. They are crazy for just playing basketball. You're not supposed to play basketball in the snow." To me, you can play basketball anywhere. So yeah... :banana:

It started snowing already? Dang... the outdoor court is my dawn/dusk training place so I'd be pretty bummed if it snowed.
It makes sense, your explanation of passion vs love I guess. But when I see it, love and passion are one and the same. I love to play basketball, it's my passion. Your definition of passion is more like my definition of interest, but you cleared it up well.
And yeah I've gotten that alot, the "what are you doing playing ball here". Once, I was at my town courts at like 5 am and these 2 kids were recovering from a hangover, so we chilled and played some 21. Then me and my friend went and played after we got chased out of our school gym in the rain. Third time I was playing ball in pitch dark using passing car's lights to see. I'm always playing basketball at the weirdest times :oldlol:
I'm glad you said your love for the game remains strong. It seems like that's the more important definition to you, so it's great to hear you're sticking with it. By the way, what are you goals for ball? I don't think you've ever mentioned.
Well, I don't really have any goals. I guess it would be great to play college bball or something. I just think that basketball is still a game. It's just the things that you learn while learning the game and sometimes playing it that is so spectacular.
Mini Update:I need to clean up my basketball training. Maga was right about it having too much basic stuff. It ends up eating my time. My training constisted of 5 min stretching, 5 min warm up, 10 min ball handling drills such as spider, figure 8, up the ladder, etc, 10 minutes on practicing ball handling moves such as crossover, two step, etc, 5 minutes on passing, 20 minute steve nash shooting working, then i practice ingame situations for 10-20 minutes(I realized that I can't do all my other training fast enough so it's eating away the time and I'm only doing around 10 minutes), then 5-10 minutes of free throw shooting. I want to keep some of the basic stuff like the ball handling drills(sometimes i can do them all in 5 minutes), passing(freshmen team sort of lacks this), and the steve nash shooting. I don't know if I should combine the steve nash with my handles training to make time more efficent.

Good thinking, never let the glamor and money overtake the love for playing... I've heard of kids who play only to get a scholarship or only play because they were tall, but it should be an honest passion.
My mini update: I'm getting pretty nasty at threes now. A couple months back, I couldn't even hit a 3 with good form, but now I'm just pulling up and spotting up. All the people are always backed 3 feet off me cause they thought I had no range so I'll just rise and shoot.
Yeah, they're crazy. They should just get scholarships for being tall or something lol(I'm assuming they lack acadedmic skills).
mini update: I found a secret collection of instrumentals, so I had an idea of going healthy/doing my basketball training at exact times/being time efficent and sleeping around 10pm for this next week. I recreated my basketball training, so I'ma see the results. If this doesn't help me then screw it lol. Although I'm guessing the only way it wouldn't help me is if I didn't follow it..
What are instrumentals? The only kind I know of are the music beats without vocals...
And if it doesn't help you, just switch it up again. It's trial and error to find a good workout program because you never know exactly what you're good at and what you need to work on.
The most important thing I learned from basketball is consistency. Doing a little bit every day to get better.

@carpevicis:yeah same thing as without vocals lol. I can't stay on my schedule though, but I'm trying.
@snapwebsolution: yep that's true. I see a lot of guys with pure natural talent but aren't consistent(by natural talent with basketball I mean they train in other sports that develop some basketball skills. I mean there's this guy that never practices basketball but is in track and is sophmore, 5'8, has a 8 pack, could bench press 165, and has like a perfect body lol from just running. He has great handles, shooting, defence, and almost everything, but he just isn't consistent at them.
I'm getting really lazy at this, so I won't do it in the update format I used. I realized that my game is like an exact replica of stephen curry(I take this as a bad sign though because even though I can't explain it, there's just a bunch of things missing in his game) and somewhat dwayde wade(I'm learning how to finish, but I need to get stronger because I'm getting bumped around). Well, looking back on the past things I wrote about myself, I'm now pretty confident in everything except when I'm defending someone who can shoot/drive/pass from anywhere and I need to be A LOT more aggresive.
One Question: How is it travel if you somewhat delay after you pick up the ball and take two steps? (it occured in a pick up game today. I picked up the ball and stopped for like half a second and took two steps then everyone said it was a travel. They told me that you can't stop. It's kind of strange to me, because no matter what you have to stop in technical terms).
You can't delay at all when you catch the ball off a pass or after you pick up your dribble otherwise it will be a travel... cus it's just like you stopped and established a pivot foot and then lifted it.
have good spacing
learning how to tune out trash talk is the biggest thing to me. And you become a more confident player because your shutting them up:hammerhead: .
^^^ yeah that's true. I'm learning how to do that right now. I only do that when I'm in the zone, but I can't help myself from listening when I'm not 100% focused.
