Answer 1

Well I suggest running a lot to improve your lung capacity and allows you to play longer and have a higher stamina. Also an important tip is to eat foods with a lot of carbs if you know you're going to play the entire game. And get a good amount of sleep. These are all key factors that can affect your stamina in a basketball game. Good luck for you and your team!

Answer 2

Don't you have practices? You should have been doing a lot of long distance running before the season in addition to practices. You should still do a two or three mile run once or twice a week in addition to practices. In practice, your team should be doing sprints right? If not, you should be doing about one hour of sprints total a week. Break it up into 4 days, and do 15 minutes of sprints a day. And of course, not all at the same time. Do a sprint or two, then rest. Repeat until you've done 15 minutes of sprints.

All that should increase your stamina greatly after a month.

Answer 3

You have to gradually build up your stamina. You have to run and exercise and gradually increase how many minutes you do this. This will help your body get used to physically working for a long period of time
