Is this what you were referring to (from Joe?)

You have to be dedicated and put in the time...plain and simple.
Try to play every day and shooting 300 to 400 shots a day is not unrealistic. Offseason ball is so important. As the saying goes, "Winter is the time to play basketball, summer is the time to get better in basketball". Spring and summer leagues, AAU, camps and clinics are so important in basketball development. If you really want to be the best that you can be then play hoop year round...not just fall and winter.
I always tell my players that everybody has a basketball odometer...just like in a car. It measures hours of basketball exposure instead of miles. The reason some players are better than others is not so much that they are faster, stronger, older or taller....it's usually because of the hoop time that is on their basketball odometer. Shooting in your driveway, pick up games at the park, school teams, games, practices, clinics, AAU even watching games all add hours to your odometer...increasing your experience and knowledge of the game. Middle school kids may have 100's of hours on their odometer, college and pros...1,000's.
You have to put in the time, you have to put in the hard work.

Remember one thing......when you're done practicing by yourself....you feel like you're tired....you think you had a good workout....just think about this....while you are going back inside your house and resting....there is somebody out there your age....still practicing.......and one day....you may play against that kid...and ...given equal abilities.....he will beat you!! So get back out there and practice even more!!\





This helped me alot because he told me what i have to do everyday to a reach a top level what do you think of this coach and can you add anything .

Not much to add to that..... find a partner to work out with... makes it easier and more fun. Pick out a role model... someone at your position that is an all star.... not some tattoed guy from head to foot with a bad attitude...... Allen Iverson, a great talent... does NOT make his teammates better, he is all about him.

Emulate your game after a GOOD role model and then get out and work at it. Don't forget to step back every once in awhile.... just to renew your juices - to relax and let your body heal... and just have a bit of fun.

Some colleges look at other things that you have done, not just your ball playing..are you solid academically. are you a good citizen, willing to help, are you involved in anything else around the school. Unless you are a Blue Chipper, which in that case they look past a lot of things.

Plan your time wisely so you can be a well rounded person....we all need a Plan B. Good luck.

spoke with my rep coach the other day and he goes im a rookie it doesn't look like i'll get alot of time this year . that really upset me and i was in my room all night long just thinking about it . My school coach reckons im the best player on the team yet this coach give me 4-5 min runs and i dont want that . im so pissed and just want to prove him wrong . he goes to me to not get ahead of myself to not think im something that im not . im very annoyed and upset im just gonna work hard and prove him wrong

Thats the right idea... work hard and prove him wrong, we as coaches have been wrong before. Does that coach have an assistant? IF he does, ask him what areas he thinks that you need to improve upon.

Just let me run this by you from a coaches standpoint..... we are always going to give the older guys the first shot..... but we all want to win... and if some younger kid is better, we will find time for him, believe me, thats the way it works. IF you are good enough, you will force him to find more playing time for you.

One step at a time.... you took the first one... you are coming off the bench and getting some time.... are you the first player off the bench? The second step is becoming the first sub off the bench.... the third step is to increase your playing time.

Capish?

No im not the first player off the bench , and i hear what your saying. my school coach wants me to go play in a youth league( the same sort of league compettion wise but smaller bodys and faster game) he reckons i have to be getting 30-40 mins a game . i really do want to do that but season is in 3 days and i dont want to look like im running away from my problems .

Tough call... can you do both?

Nah i wouldn't be able , the trainings and games will clash there is no way possible . I'm gonna work hard and hopefully mid way through the season i can be in the starting 5 . I know i can do it coach . i'm exactly what our team needs and thats a scorer, as soon as my jumpshot becomes consistent ( god knows when thats gonna happen) then i think i'll will find myself getting more minutes.
So coach if i give you my weekly schedule , would you help me plan out a good workout schedule . Thanks for the help

Why don't you run it past all of us and lets see what we can come up with...... there are a lot of good coaches here.

Let us know what your school schedule is also. How much time you need for homework etc.
