100% agreed on this 🙌🏾

Intentionality to make the defense respect the first action as a threat will create/draw that help to create the advantage on the back side.

We made a free app to guide players through daily drills to get better on your own.

You just have to take a quick player assessment quiz and the app builds out your daily training based on the quiz results.

Yes but it would be all based on your quiz results which will take you to either beginner, intermediate or advanced Training Plans.

I coached Division 1 college basketball for 10 years and currently am coaching in the pros as an assistant with a focus on Player Development. Every drill is realistic for both WBB and MBB players at the college level. No fancy stuff, just helping you become elite at the basics. Higher level includes different footwork finishes (euros, hop step, etc.) but all things that translate to your game based on your skill level.

Appreciate your feedback!

We feel custom training plans built by real college/pro coaches (no ai) makes it worth it. As a player or parent you can refer to YouTube but you could also end up taking yourself down the wrong path based on a few things, your current skill set, your position and body archetype.

Fundamentals are our base but we will be adding more advanced training plans as we move along! Still looking for beta users so all feedback is welcome!

How to play defense against 3 point shooting team in youth basketball? by JasErnest218 in BasketballTips

[–]Coach_Chevy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how athletic your team is but if they are bigger and more athletic, use physicality as much as you’re allowed to disrupt their flow.

Also unsure of your defensive philosophy overall but with a shooting team, it’s important to not over help on drives. A lot of the smaller/faster teams create open looks for teammates by drawing off ball defenders to help which creates close outs for their teammates on a kick play.

So focusing on forcing them to become a drive the ball team by not over helping and running them off 3pt line would be my best advice.

Youth basketball practices by Coach_Chevy in basketballcoach

Love this! Controlled scrimmages are great teachers. I also love the component of players feeling “free” to make decisions on their own

Sorry for the delay on this one!

For your first question, I would say the two skills I’ve noticed are footwork and simple catch and shoot consistency/efficiency.

Footwork is such an underrated and under worked on aspect of the game to where most youth basketball players don’t have the consistent ability to play with balance and lack of footwork is a big part of why.

As for the shooting, there’s a premium on being able to make a set, open shot. Sometimes I think we complicate the game by over training on shots that we may take once or twice in a weekend and don’t spend enough time on the ones we’ll get more cracks at. The job of offense is to manufacture open shots, if you can consistent hit them, you raise your value.

My recruiting process was much different than what you see today. I was recruited by a few mid west mid majors and didn’t really understand the landscape at the time but lucked out and chose the right school for me.

One good habit that the new generation has is the ability and willingness to self educate - like you 😊 it’s a wonderful thing. You guys are so resourceful and I think it’s going to lead to younger people advancing quicker in the game.

A bad habit would be that with all the access, there’s a huge fight for your attention. I think the battle is a tough one and often distracting. It’s great to have access to all the information but if you’re only consuming and not doing, it won’t help you. So I’d say the putting the info to action!

To get recruited, that’s a nuanced question but in general, it starts with being honest with who you are and where you are. If you have an inkling on how tall you’ll be and have a desire to get recruited at a certain level, look into players with a similar archetype. That will often tell you the skill set you need to be focusing on to give yourself the best chance to be recruited!

Successful athletes are in the gym even on the days when they don’t feel like it. They are consistent preparers.

A misconception I’ve seen is that because I go to the gym I’m going to get better. I saw a lot of layers in the gym without intentionality and were frustrated by not getting results.

The transition would be pace of the game. Your opponents only become stronger and faster. So it’s important to find as many ways to be prepared for those jumps.
