DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME. 🏀

🔥

One of the biggest mistakes I see young players make is spending hours practicing moves that look good in a workout… but never actually show up in a game.

Just because you saw an NBA player do it doesn’t mean you need to add it to your bag.

Your workouts should prepare you for your game.

Practice the moves you’re actually going to use.

Want to get by your defender?

Work on your first step.

Want to create separation?

Work on your change of pace and change of direction.

Want to attack the rim?

Work on your finishes through contact.

Want to create space for a jumper?

Work on your step-backs, pull-ups, and getting into your shot quickly.

And when you practice them — GO.

Don’t walk through your moves at 50%. Attack the cone like it’s a defender. Change speeds. Get low. Be explosive. Use your body. Create contact. Make your moves look and feel like they would in a real game.

Because the goal of a workout isn’t to look impressive.

The goal is to become better when the lights come on.

You don’t need 50 moves.

You need 3-5 moves that you can execute at full speed against real defenders.

Stop trying to have the biggest bag.

Build a reliable bag.

Stop practicing for the workout.

Practice for Friday night.

Your time in the gym is valuable. Don’t waste it. 🏀🔥
