how should I become a better basketball player
Work on the basics: ball handling, defense, and shooting. Each one of these can be broken down further.
Then, begin to strength train and work on your vertical leap.
When you work on your vertical jump, make sure to use plyometrics. These will help you get a good base strength.
Also, use hurdles to work on your agility. For example, you can set up a small obstacle course.
The best way to get more playing time is to be a good shooter.
So, work on your follow through, the main part of the shot. Also, work on releasing the ball at the pinnacle of your jump.
Also, you must get quicker on defense.
To do this, practice with lane slides and wall sits.
The vertical jump should be tested every twenty days.
To do this, set up a testing ground. You can have somebody mark how high you can jump just standing still and then compare it to another time.
