Most players think they're grinding. They show up. They work out. They sweat. But they're doing the same drills they've been doing for months. The same moves. The same reps. The same comfortable routine. And they wonder why nothing changes. Here's the problem: You can't grow in your comfort zone. If you're not struggling, you're not improving. If every rep feels easy, you're just maintaining. Real progress happens when you're forced to do things you can't do yet. When you're finishing through contact you're not used to. When you're creating separation against defenders who are actually pressuring you. When you're executing moves at a speed that makes you uncomfortable. That's when your game actually levels up. But most players avoid that. They stick to what feels good. What looks clean. What doesn't expose their weaknesses. Then they get in a game and reality hits. The defender is faster than the cone you've been training against. The contact is harder than the air you've been finishing through. And your confidence crashes because you've never actually prepared for this. Here's the truth: The players who get better aren't more talented. They're just willing to be uncomfortable more often. They train against live defenders who expose their flaws. They push their body past what feels easy. And they have a structured plan that forces them into situations they're not ready for yet. That's what the 6-Week Challenge does. It puts you in uncomfortable situations with real structure. Live defender work. Physical training that actually challenges you. Weekly accountability so you can't hide. Hit 2 of your 3 targets in 6 weeks—or we coach you for free. It's $29/month. Click here to join the 6-Week Challenge. Stop training in your comfort zone. Start building a game that actually holds up. Stay clear, Tyler P.S. If your workouts feel easy, you're not getting better. You're just getting comfortable being average.

But nothing's changed. You're still doing the same workouts. Still getting the same results. Still sitting on the bench watching someone else get your minutes. And deep down, you know why. You're not actually training with a plan. You're just staying busy. Here's what happened this season: You worked out when you felt like it. You skipped days when you were tired. You never tracked if anything was actually improving. And when the season started, you were the exact same player you were last year. Same role. Same stats. Same frustration. Now you're telling yourself, "Next season will be different." But what's actually going to change? Are you suddenly going to have more discipline? More structure? More accountability? Or are you just going to do the same thing and hope it works out this time? Here's the truth: Hope doesn't get you minutes. Random workouts don't get you recruited. And "working hard" without a plan just keeps you stuck. The players who break through don't train harder. They train smarter. They have a plan. Clear targets. And someone holding them accountable every single week. That's what the 6-Week Challenge gives you. A complete 6-week plan built around 3 targets you actually need to hit. Physical workouts to make you faster and stronger. Skill workouts to make your game translate under pressure. Mental development so you stop second-guessing yourself. Weekly check-ins so you can't slack off. And a guarantee: Hit 2 of your 3 targets—or we coach you for free. It's $29/month. Less than a pair of socks. Click here to join the 6-Week Challenge. Stop saying "next season." Start building the player you need to be right now. Stay clear, Tyler P.S. Six weeks from now, you'll either have real progress to show… or you'll be saying "next season" again. Which one sounds like you?

Hey hoopers, Quote of the day: “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” – Michael Jordan Real question for you: How do YOU know if you’re actually improving? Most hoopers think effort = progress… but it doesn’t. A lot of players work hard but stay in the same exact spot because they never track anything. Here’s how to really know if you’re leveling up: Are you making fewer mistakes in games? Not just scoring more, but turning it over less, fouling less, forcing fewer bad shots, and making smarter reads. That’s what coaches notice. Are you earning more minutes or a bigger role? Coaches play the people they trust. If you’re getting more PT or being used in key moments, that’s a clear sign you’re improving. Can you do things now that you couldn’t do 2 months ago? Handle pressure better? Finish with your weak hand? Guard faster players? Hit shots you used to miss? If you’re checking boxes here, that’s progress. Here’s the truth: Improvement isn’t about working harder — it’s about whether the work is changing your game. If you're putting in hours but still making the same mistakes… you’re practicing the wrong things. So here’s what you should track each week: Shooting % Turnovers Defensive stops 2–3 specific skills you want to improve If your numbers are going up, you’re headed in the right direction. If not, it’s time to fix what you’re working on. Progress happens when you measure it. If you want help reducing turnovers, improving your shot, and will actually put in the work daily, you are ready for the 6-week challenge.

Most players don't realize there are 3 phases to actually getting better, and if you miss even one, you won't improve. They just shoot around randomly and wonder why their game stays the same. You're probably making this mistake right now. You go to the gym, take some shots, and leave thinking you got better. But you have no idea if you actually improved because you're not tracking anything. Phase 1: Test yourself. Pick 7 spots on the court and take 10 shots from each, then write down your score. Phase 2: Fix your weak spots. If you're missing right-wing pull-ups, tomorrow's workout is 30 right-wing pull-ups on a timer. Phase 3: Review. End every workout by writing down one thing you did well and one thing to fix tomorrow. That's how you grow every single day. Not by guessing, but by tracking real progress and attacking your weaknesses systematically.
