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.

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.
