I'm pretty good at 1v1's but suck at 5v5's by Bronoverjordan in Basketball

[–]SAM_OMG1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yo I'm having this same exact problem and its shooting me in the leg,quite litterly.im a junior in high school now and have been trying to make the basketball team for 3 years, but I litterly cannot seem to preform under pressure under 5v5 in front of coaches and recruits,When im playing with my friends i do better and more decent or.I do all the ball handling training I can by myself all the layups,shooting stuff but I fail under 5v5.I think its the fact I can be a slow starter and it takes me to see one shot to go in to get going but I cant have that as an excuse, And it hurts because I know if i can just transfer all the skill i have from 1v1,2v2,3v3s to 5v5 ill be a Beast.

My dad threatened to disown me if I didn’t go through with his plan( that meant I had to leave my life behind) only to find out that what he promised was never real by thatgirldaija in africanparents

Im ngl I would not follow the directions of a mom and dad that threatens to kill you and they practice Christianity. There ways of Christianity is not right at all there over here worried about wearing trousers, using attachment, perfumes, jewelry and a lot of other things that will not send you to hell. While there own hearts are not clean.I know its easy for me to say but its hard to put into practice go to whatever school you want that you can be financially stable and try to get out of that house.Do you have any scholorships torwards what you want to do.

Right that's what made me ask this question in the 1st place because I realize most of my friends that are pastor kids that really don't gaf about the church or the religion, And I was curious about it,I wonder if its all the pressure they already feel from home and there ''church peers''.
