Improve your defense and passing. Always play with heart and hustle. Try to get EVERY loose ball and show the coaches you want it. Don't focus too much on crossovers, behind the backs, etc. Show the coaches you have the fundamentals and that you have room and are eager to improve. Just practice every chance you get and like I said, HUSTLE at tryouts. Best of luck to you.
youtube it. And REPLAY it over and over and over and over until it sticks in your head.









Then go to the gym and practice it for hours. If you get challenged to pick up games, gently turn them down by saying no thanks and keep practicing. But if you want to play them, do so and try your hardest, just pay attention to their movements and take pointers.How to become good at basketball in 2 months?
its all about practice, repitition and consistency. Offensively, here are some things I do to get better:



Shooting:

warm up with form shooting and free throws

then make 50 midrange shots

make 50 threes

make 50 pullups

make 50 pull ups with a move

finish off with some free throws



Ball handling:

Dribble hard with one ball and do moves like thru the legs and around the back continuously

Dribble moves with tennis ball

2 ball dribbling



Finishing:

Contact layups

finishing with a spin move with both hands

finishing with euro step with both hands

finishing with hop step with both hands



I try to do as much of this per day



Defensively, its all about how hard u work.
Defense, defense, defense. High school coaches love kids who can play D and who play with great energy. Also its one of the easiest things to improve if you put in the time and effort. Trying to become a great offensive player takes a lot more work and you can only improve one or two aspects at a time.

Practice your crossover, behind the back, ect. Also shoot jump shots consistently every time u get a chance. Work on your defensive stance, your quickness, and DEFINATELY shooting lay ups cuz u don't wanna miss one and look stupid. Finally, it doesnt matter if ur a big guy or little guy, WORK ON MOVES IN THE POST. U want to be able to score on the inside.

i had always been a great shooter, but i had bad handles, i watched all of his ball handling videos and at first some of the stuff he was doing seemed impossible, within a month i could almost do all of it.
Practice, practice, practice. That is all you can do.
