getting ready for next season

does plan mean coming up with a basketball workout?

Since i have school right now, and also got P.E.. we're doing soccer right now (lots of running cause i like playing soccer and play hard for every sport)

Should i have 1 rest day or 2 rest days in a week, or just have 1 but if i'm feeling sluggish any other day i'll just take that day off?


my P.E teacher told of this seed called a Quinoa(some people call it a grain). It has very great nutritional values and is very healthy. It's worth checking out. I;m gonna eat it every day. I'm one of those healthy guys that try to eat only healthy food and hate eating junk food. My friends get very shocked.

Yes, make yourself a plan... a workout schedule. I wouldn't worry about running... you get plenty of that ... I am talking about skills / fundamentals. I would think that one day of rest would work for you..... you are young and have a ton of energy.

It's good that you don't eat junk food..... eat a healty balanced diet.... BEFORE you put anything into your body I would check with someone who knows for sure.... Pharmacists are usually a good source IF not a doctor.

i didn't know pharmacist also help with a persons diet

i got a very close relative that is one
thanks

Do you have a health teacher in your school? You can do an on line search for that information also.... why dont you try that and get back to us. I am asking you to do this so you take some ownership in this. AND I sure dont want to give you any wrong information..... NOT my area of expertise.

most likely we do. There are also a lot of teachers that know about health too though. I'll ask tomorrow.

so right now ill work on making a basketball practice schedule right now and share it with you. I'll probably finish making one up until tomorrow. HAve homework today.

First things first..... do your school work - have a good night.

good night to you too

OK coach so here's the plan i came up with; not many shots because of school. My teachers is away up until Monday so i can't ask him yet for the health part yet

15 min- Ball handling stationary drills
Mikan drill- 10 made shots each side
5 min- shooting from a chair
From Shooting- 100 shots
10-12 min- chair changes (2 moves a day)
make at least 200 shots
practice shot after 1 2, jump stop, and off the dribble, passing to my self
Is this okay?

Also, I'm not strong enough to elevate then shoot yet past free throw line and barely in front of it. Should i add shots like that right after form shooting or just shoot the normal way i do.

Mikan is good
Delete the chair and form shoot off a wall 25 times
BEEF check from the blocks and in front of basket 5 minutes
Chair Drill is good
The other shooting is good too.... and shoot from where you are comfortable.... work your way back as you become successful.

This is a good start.

dos blocks mean the side of the hoop. When i do form shooting with 100 shots, i do 5 sports very close around the basket.
And when doing form shots should i always concentrate on keeping my elbow in, cause sometimes when i shoot and look at my elbow it is a little bit out, very litltle, and sometimes completely straight.
I still shoot a high percentage anyways.

Yes for the blocks.... when you do your form shooting off the wall... use one hand... that will force you to get your elbow under the ball.... but ONCE You shoot the ball and hold your follow thru - putting your hand in the cookie jar (rim) your elbow will end up under the ball and your shot will be straight.
As long as your percentage is good... your form is probably fine...

thanks, and when doing shot of the dribble, Ex:- pretend i do a crossover and then go up for a shot, but am not used to it, and it feels a little umcomfortable, should i start off doing it slowly and then sppeed up or do it game speed right away.

Do it slowly until you can do it well... increase the speed as you get better.

Now i know why i couldn't get any power from the jump shot. I stayed in the air too long and then released it. But I still have to make my form better on the jump shot. Why is that with set shots my form is perfect but with jump shots it feels very different?

Because it is a different type of shot... a set shot is easier... don't have to use your legs as much and you are on the floor for the most part.

so for a few weeks should just shoot jump shots close to the basket and up to the free throw line to get used to it?

Yes, Remember when you first started to dribble with your left hand and do left handed lay ups.... its a little awkward at first. So start in close until you become comfortable with it.

the ball doesn't spin very much when i shoot a jump shot
when i do set shot, ball spins very much

Maybe its because you are trying to get to high? Are you getting your guide hand OFF the ball? Make sure on your follow thru that you put your hand in the cookie jar.

wow it just took me 2 days for my body to get used to it. jump shot feels so natural now.
so far i just shot up to 8 -10 feet. started 2 feet out
