I want to do basketball real badly but i'm not that great, how do i get better?

Question

i need to improve on agression and thowing the ball. oh and do you have any tips on hand-eye coordination?

Answer 1

take lessone after school or get a one on one coach even practice shooting hoops by yourself or with a friend then stun everybody by joining a team. The more you practice=the better you will get. Even get a book like "basketball for dummies" and research babketball tips on google.

Answer 2

k. first off start with dribbling make two lines about 30 feet long. dribble to one line then crossover back to the other. slowly add spins behind the back and speed dribbles to it. .practice your lay ups. id say 250 - 300 a day. then move to free throws. make at least a 75- 100. that means make that many not shoot that many shoot as many as u have to. at end do some post drills like superman (stand on one side of the backboard about 3 or 4 feet from it. bounce the ball off the backboard shuffle over get it on the other side. repeat as quickly as possible for about 2 minutes. then do again and again.) for hand eye coordination u can also do a tip drill. ( stand on one side of the backboard jump up in the air hit the ball of the backboard then tip it back up continuously as many times as u can.) it helps a lot. if i knew your height it would b easier to help u.

hope that helps.

go to camps and clinics as well. Play other sports too, other sports can help your over all athletizim. Eat right 40 grams of protein and 40 grams of carbs drink a lot of water, get lots of sleep. Get a book on Basketball fundamentals and practice the basics. Keep practicing the basics, when you can master the basic elements of basketball you will be able to play at a very high competitve level. Keep at but most of all have fun.

Answer 4

Start with the fundamentals....Practice dribbling 2 balls 1 in each hand, keep your head up while dribbling, master this and your hand -eye coordination Will be A+++

Answer 5

practice alot. practice dribbling. go into the basement, or a dark place and just dribble for atleast a half hour. do that a few times week. you can blindfold yourself also. find a good concrete wall, and practice throwing the ball at different spots trying to hit the same spot over and over. for aggression, i'd say lift some weights or do some exercising. push yourself to go further and really feel the burn.

Answer 6

Just practice practice practice not everyone is the best when they start. if at school you have pe or something and it is just like a free day go and practice ask someone yu know is better than you help you. the best thing to do is adit that your not the best and maybee you and some of your friends could play a little game of like 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 or soething. Just go and have some fun with it.

Answer 7

Say it w/me Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice,

What I did to get better was go to the gym and shoot for 3 hours wake up in the morn practice by myself in the cold.

Answer 8

Practice every dayy!!
Practice shooting,dribbling, passing and you will def. get better! Also if you watch basketball on TV (College or Pro) you could pick up some pointers from them. Good Luck!

Answer 9

practice over and over, do many of the little things such as layups, adn practice moves over and over, around 500 times gets you to do them in a gaem automatically. shoot around 500-1000 shots a week, once u do that do 500 a day, thats what i do, and practice dribbling while sprinting.
