Basketball Training Workout 17

“If you’ve never failed, you’ve never tried anything new.”

I can’t stress this enough… you’re going to mess up on the drills. For most of you, this is your first time doing the movements in the drills so its perfectly reasonable for you to make mistakes while you’re learning it.

Now when you make the mistake, don’t get mad. That will just get you even more flustered.

Take a deep breath and do it again at a slower speed until the movement feels natural. Once that happens, you can speed it up to game speed.
