I love to play basketball... and I am a very good basketball player... But when I start playing in a real game with other players that are really good I get nervous... but when I play with players that are good but not all-stars I kill and no one can stop me... I remember all the little stuff like head fakes and pass fakes... what can I do to stop being nervous when I play with all-star players and carry over the same confidence and attitude when I play with the good but not great players?

Ok since you are good at basketball but get nervous when you play all you think about is you players and the hoop check to see who is open forget the other people

My approach is to let the game come to me. I don't try and over do it just be who I know I'm capable of without forcing the issue. If you get an open shot take it, if you can create space with a crossover or dribble/pump fake do that. Go for steals, blocks, set picks whatever play your game like you are going to own em' and when you do let them know it.

Try to block out the surroundings and concentrate on the game and play like your playing in your back yard.Go out at the beginning and play YOUR game and when you start making some baskets and feeling more confident everything will start to come together.

well being nervous is kinda fun for me but you really can't not be nervous. The only thing to do that I can think of is to don't think of it and just play your best

Dont think too much when you are playing. Just think its another game, like you are playing with the not great players. To be a good shooter you dont think, you have to have a clear head and just do the motion.

i love playing ball too and have the same problem. just make sure your warmed up before you play so you dont throw up air balls and stuff, and just play like you normally do. dont try to change ur style of play. eventually youll be an all star

just practice a lot. if you are confident in your abilities (which are developed through practice) believe me....you'll have nothing to be nervous about.
