Keeping up the mentality posts while I work on my next basketball project for you guys. A lot of people say they want more. A lot of people try for a while then quit. They get busy or times get hard, so they stop. That’s when the growth happens. A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. You only lose when you quit, stay in the race! It’s not you vs anybody else. It’s you vs you every single day. Just get 1% better each day, do your best, and never give up. EVER! - Hinton Hoops

Method Training is drills that will directly translate to IN GAME play. Here are 20 Drills, 10 to do with a partner and 10 to do alone. If you can execute these drills in practice, you CAN execute in game. This is going to be a huge week, I asked and you guys delivered. Now it’s time to get to work, specifically in the classroom and on breakdowns / defense. Let’s get better this weekend! - Hinton Hoops

Most players don’t get scored on because of skill… they get scored on because they can’t stay in front. Stop reaching. Stop opening up. Stop chasing. Beat them to the spot. If you control their path… you control the possession. BUILD YOUR LOCK 🔒 — Part 2: Lock Your Man No blow-bys. No excuses. #HintonHoops #LockUp #BasketballDefense #StayInFront #BasketballTraining

Hey Hoopers, Under this thread, I will be sharing videos that I have found useful, or that have helped me. It will be drills, coaching, exercises, players talking about what works for them, etc… I’ll be adding to this 2-3 times per week. If the videos help you or you learn anything, just give it a thumbs up. Thanks, have a great day and let’s get better this week! - Hinton Hoops

Most players get beat before the move even happens. Bad stance = bad defense. If you can’t stay low, wide, and active…you can’t guard anybody. This is where elite defense starts.
