It is vital to your team’s success that your players come into the season fit. Before the AAU or summer leagues start, you should meet with your players individually and evaluate their play during the past season.

  1. You are probably asking yourself how mental health and basketball go together. It is quite easy to figure out if you think about it. A player who is at a basketball training session could be distracted or go in with the wrong mental attitude and totally miss what he or she is supposed to practice for that day. A player may come in with the attitude that he or she did 20 basketball throws the day before and they will do 40 today. This mentality is wrong and often lands players in trouble when it comes to the game. When throwing the ball do not think of how many baskets you can get, think of how good you can make each throw. The better you can throw, the better your game will be. Always concentrate on doing your best and not how many baskets you can complete in one day. More info for Basketball lovers at scoring secrets
