To be a great basketball player you have to train hard day and night. You have to want to be the best player on the court at all times. In this world, it is not enough to be thinking that there is someone in another place practicing right now and I am not. What you must be thinking is that there is someone in another place who practices better than me. That is what this article will help you with. It will tell you the best three tools to bring your game to the next level.
1. THE GUN: This piece of equipment is very expensive costing about $4,500. This makes it a piece of equipment a person does not have to own, but every basketball program must own. Just like every gym you go to has a basketball hoop with a net in it, every gym should have a gun. The gun allows you to get off so many more shots than you would be able to by yourself. What it does is catch all the ball you shoot at the hoop, and then shoot them back out to you. It can even keep track of your shots made and missed.
This piece of equipment really helped me out as an individual. I was on JV one year with really only one aspect to my game and that was my drive. I used the gun the next summer and was on Varsity the next year with one of the best shots in conference. Opposing coaches were yelling, "Guard the shooter." They were talking about me. It made me so much better because I was able to get off a couple hundred shots in half an hour. It helped out with my game and there is nothing else that does what the gun does, so you should work to get one.
2. Jump Shoes: These will bring you to a new level of athleticism. You will be able to run faster, jump higher, and maybe even dunk the basketball. And not just dunk the basketball, but these shoes will give you a quicker jump. Being a slow jumper is horrible in the game of basketball. It is all about being able to get there first. You have to be like a cheetah and get up there right away and that is what these shoes will give you.
3. Tennis Ball: I know what you are thinking. Finally a cheap piece of equipment. Maybe even cheaper than a basketball net, but what could this be used for. To bring your ball handling to the next level. Whenever you are doing a dribbling drill, use a tennis ball as well. Throw it up it the air and then snatch it out of the air while you are dribbling with your other hand. It is okay to switch hands or do whatever. Using the tennis ball makes you focus on something else, not just keep your eyes up. You all have worked on keeping your eyes up, but have you worked on doing more. When you play a game you have to be analyzing the court, and that is what the tennis ball will help you with.
Lastly, you will need a gym to go to and many basketballs to wear down to train properly.
