its been a long time since i last posted, I took a few weeks off ....... want to start training with your help.

I just started this week and i just did form shooting and worked on my handles. Make minimum of 200 form shots and practiced my dribbling for around 20 minutes. I also am lifting and doing plyometrics.

Sunday= plyometric workout
Monday= Upper body and Abs
Tuesday=
Wednesday= Lower Body (upper body a little because of some compound exercises)
Thursday=
Friday= uppper body
Saturday= Day off

I wanted to add basketball into this.

Should i tell you my stregth and weaknesses?

Yes - that would help.... remember to add shooting after every work out session.

i try to come up with my own basketball plan but its very confusing and I just never finish it properly. None of my friends take ball seriously so i have to practice alone

so right after i finish workking out my upper body i should start my shooting practice or wait a little while

OK, lets try to make this simple enough so you it doesn't turn you off the game.

Think about these areas - focusing on weaknesses.
Shooting
Ball handling / dribbling
Quickness / footwork
Strength

It doesn't have to be immediately - take some time for a breather, hydrate yourself and do some shooting to loosen yourself up.... start with form... shoot close and work your way back.

I'm glad you liked the article.

As for this post

The way to gain confidence is to:

Break tasks into smaller units, Acknowledge your success for each step, and Learn from your mistakes to re-enforce your confidence.

1. Break task into smaller steps Before you set out to perform a task or try to achieve a goal, you must realize that the activity is really a series of smaller steps. This is a basic concept in any type of project planning. Thus, instead of waiting until the end to determine if you are successful, you have a series of successes, leading up to the finish.

2. Acknowledge success for each step For each one of these steps or mini-tasks, you must acknowledge your success. Congratulate yourself each time you succeed. If you don't do well, correct your error. Take care about admonishing yourself, except in extreme cases.

3. Re-enforce overall confidence. This self-talk will re-enforce your acknowledgment of your abilities and increase your confidence as you go along on achieving the greater goal.

thanks, and i can't shoot jump shots yet, should i start to practice jump shots or wait till i get a little stronger?

No jump shooting until your Doctor gives you the ok. Stick to what he says you can do...... you sure don't want any set backs.
