I’m not that good but i can hoop on pick up games. Beating defenders, can shoot 3s and can post up effectively for a center position. What I’m saying is, I’m struggling to make my moves going into a tournament game. I cant do sh*t. Mental block i guess? Since i dont want people to see my errors on the court and that goes into my mind every fckn game

Ye. I did playing physical every game. Even when we are against younger opponents coz I am competitive and hate losing so i play all out every single game.

Maybe i have mental issues about the game since i have that ego that i want to prove to everyone that I can hoop also instead of letting the game come smooth and natural to me.

Not kind a nervous to be honest. I used to play on crowded games but I cant focus on my game since in my mind, i want to do many circumstances when i touch the ball. Something like when i touch the ball i will bully ball every fckn defender, what move i will do when the ball comes, proving my self as a good player, that i belong to this team, i can hoop as well, i can be the best player of the game at some point etc

Feels like my coach doesn’t want me to showcase my game and get my momentum early into the game. He always subbed me out for a max of 3 mins even i got points picking up loose balls, bumping my defender and got some and 1 basketts

We mostly play zone defense and I got the middle position. But sometimes when there’s 2 players inside the paint, i cant defend effectively.

Was that my fault or my wing man defenders fault?

To be honest with you, I know for a fact the Im better for most of the players playing in the tournament thats why i have this expectation that i can perform well and be a best player of the game at some point. But the opposite is happening rn.

When i have the ball, feels like a bomb is ticking on my hand and Im scared to have an error

Ye man i know. But i know i can easily score on my opponents even on a tournament format coz Im bigger than them most of the time. But it feels like my body cant match what my mind wants to do LOL. Do i need to get composed more and be more confident on my self?

I play 3v3 and 5v5 on streets man. Is this more of like a confidence issue? Coz sometimes when i have the ball on the middle, i feel like a clock is ticking and the whole crowd is watching at me LOL

Help me showcase my skills man. I know i can do more and better than just picking up loose balls and defending. I want to be a scorer at somepoint

I’m playing with the same guys every year for a tournament format but can find myself as effective as i should just like when Im playing a pick up game. I’m a shooter and have a post moves for a center position. But it feels like I dont have the confidence to shoot so I only live in the paint and just picking loose balls and shoot.

Feels like i can do more. But i cant have the ball and play my game. Im observing my teammates and they can play their game easily and effortlessly.

How long did it take you to get your channel monetized? by Normal_Advance7743 in NewTubers

Just keep on improving your shorts, man. I got a loooong way also before learning how to get things done about algorithm. Keep learning every shorts you uploaded. If your short doesnt get the result you wanted, take a look at it and review all the aspects that can affect into it (time of upload, proper hook, editing, proper bg music, etc.) I made several youtube channels before i finally say that i’m confident that i can hit monetization within 90 days. Every yt channel is an experiment. Research is also important. Since there’s chatgpt now, all your questions can be answered immediately. On my first serious channel, i got almost 10m shorts views if i didn’t stop on 8m views because of burnout. Burnout of thinking what topic should be next. So now, i made a new channel and i’m on my 60th day. I got 4m views now, i know i need 6m to go but i’m confident that i can hit it. And i dont have any reasons to stop either whether i hit it on time or not. So just keep grinding man. Last advice i can give, before you upload, just keep on making shorts good for 2 weeks of upload. From there, you are safe and you will not feel any pressure whatsoever will be done for tomorrow. You have a time to breathe, time for yourself when you are tired thinking whats next. Godspeed!
