Improve Your Basketball Skills By Using These Techniques!
A great knowledge base can help you with anything you do.
From changing a tire to playing basketball, you have to understand the situation to do it right.
When it comes to the latter, there is nothing better than reading the tips you will
find below and then using them yourself.
Always protect the ball when you are in possession of it.
Keep your dribble off to the side of your body
to make it more difficult for another player to steal the ball.
While you generally want to avoid dribbling in front of you, you can do
so if there are no other players in your immediate vicinity.
Practice passing drills as a team. basketball legends is a team sport first and foremost.
You've got five people on the court with the same common goal.
Teams that are great at passing can really break up a defense
making it much easier to get into good scoring positions. You'll definitely win much more than you lose when you
work as a team.
It is important to practice all the different types of basketball shots.
Practice a combination of long shots, layups and short shots.
This will help you become a great all-around basketball shooter.
Additionally, you should practice free throw shots during your practice.
By learning the different techniques, you can ensure you play well during the game.
Practice your free throws as often as you can. Free
throws in basketball can turn the tide of a game. They are your opportunity to score points with clear views of the basket.
You should aim to land at least 80% of the free throws you take.
Great free throw shooters can top 90%.
Understanding your opponent is a good way to shut him down on defense.
Review tapes and keep up with scouting reports.
Also know which is their dominant and weak hands.
If you know their game, you can defend against it.
A defender that has knowledge will be a strong one.
Quality footwork will help you get better shots.
While physical positioning is important, it is even more
essential to move quicker than an opponent. Once you get into your position, you need to secure it.
Expert footwork is the key to these skills.
Never leave the practice court without taking some practice shots.
Do some free throws, lay-ups and 3-point throws every practice before you leave.
Of course you are doing some shooting during practice, but this additional practice will help you in the long run. Keep practicing your shooting on a daily basis.
When you play basketball, be sure that you remain properly hydrated.
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after playing.
Becoming dehydrated can negatively affect your game and your health.
It is possible to lose up to 2% of your body
weight through dehydration. That can also cause between a 10% and 20% decrease in your athletic performance.
The only way to become a better basketball player is through
practice and hard work. Anyone can better their skills, but in order to
truly succeed and be better than other players is by improving your skills.
It doesn't take much, all you need is a hoop, a ball and desire to become better.
Speed and agility is important, but you need to know how to
practice to improve those skills. Running yourself ragged by
training for long lengths of time or by running long distances won't benefit your play on the court.
Instead, practice sprints and other short bursts of exercise.
This better mimics how on the court play really is.
In order to be good at rebounding the ball off a missed
free throw, you must be quick with your feet. Defenders
will start to move at you, so you need to get
around them to grab the ball. This gets you the rebound without you committing a foul.

Rebounding is one of the major keys to winning a game as any
coach will tell you. Therefore, it's important to
practice getting rebounds, and part of this practice
should be spent blocking people out. As well, when you're by yourself,
hop to it with that energy, and go get that rebound!
In order to play basketball you need to have good legs
and be free from injuries. Unfortunately many people who play basketball develop
injuries to their ankles. You can prevent these
injuries by getting yourself a good pair of basketball shoes.
Although they are pricier these days, it's well worth it if you want
to prevent those horrible ankle injuries.
In order to be a great basketball shooter you need to be confident.
One of the reasons why professionals get very far is because they are confident in their abilities.
You won't hit every shot or defend every play, but if you let it affect you then there
is no way you will play good basketball. Be a
better player by being confident!
Switch your body's weight from side to side while practicing
your dribbling. In the middle of a game, lots of dribbling situations will
arise. You may see an open court but there are opponents ready to swarm you.
You will have to know the right way to dribble when the body is doing different things.
It will help you when you need it most.
To get better at three-point shots, work on shooting from the NBA three-point line.
All other three point lines are closer than what the NBA uses.
Learning how to shoot from the NBA three point line can help you get better looks at the basket.
If you are like most basketball players, you want as much playing time as possible.
One way to pretty much guarantee an increase in playing time is to always work
hard and hustle during both practice and in a game. Don't be hesitant about diving after a loose ball.
Your butt may often be on the ground, but a coach will notice
your intense efforts and will choose you over a player
who doesn't have your drive and work ethics.
Most people understand the sport of basketball on at least some level,
but that is not to say that they are satisfied with their
present level of knowledge. By learning as much as possible about basketball, one's enjoyment
of the sport can grow to a surprising degree. Hopefully
this article has provided the basis for a long-lasting love affair with basketball.
