Get in the ZONE More Often as a Hooper! 🧠

Accessing the flow state may be a more important skillset than anything else in basketball! It sounds crazy, but it's truly a make-or-break ability as a hooper. Here's how you can train to make it happen more often.

It’s crazy how these things can and do happen throughout the game. He just happened to put it into perspective. I crave feeling in the zone. It’s only happened a couple of times in my life. It’s such a supernatural surreal moment. Eyes dilated, basket just looks so big and the ball leaves your hand so effortlessly. I’m always hungry for that feeling

I feel the zone when I'm not trying too hard, when I'm letting my fundamentals take over. Play simple and the game is simple. Was playing in a tournament and just walked down the defense to drain 2 deep threes in a row, so much fun.

I have always liked talking (either talk smack, or talk to my teammates), that helps me get into the zone. The spectrum really puts that into perspective... Because a lot of times, I'm just not focused / playing lazy. Talking helps me focus.
But my teammates are the opposite... They tend to get nervous / take it way too seriously. This video has given me the most practical advice on how to help them get into the zone too (small wins, pre game stuff etc.) I used this in a semifinal game against a tough team and mann... It worked like magic!

Your are the best coach on YouTube for sure

[ricardoholmes]

You’re completely right. I’ve been training on my mental aspect of hooping for the past two years. I’ve become such a better point guard because of my pacing and being aware of my spots has allowed me to take over games towards the end.

im an advanced hooper, trying to elevate my game just to hone my skills as a pure ball fan, no pro dreams. but this advice and the other vids help so much more than just ball, most of the advice is easily applicable to all life. Thanks boss.

10:22 so true about playing and not really being present, letting the mind wander instead of focusing and having fun in the moment' can later translate to the game itself and create a negative loop. thank you for all the great work you have put up, helped me a lot as a player and person

In Matthew 7:7 JESUS SAID Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU, AND HAS A PLAN FOR YOU IS COMING BACK SOON

I appreciate all your videos so much you made me find this state of mind I went from being in my head and always nervous and after watching your vids I’ve gained the confidence and the sports become a lot more easy much love gng 🖤

Once again your video far exceeded my expectations! I realized most of these things from my own experience but you really nailed it. If younger players can grasp these concepts they can become prolific in their athletic prime and your teammates will emulate you.

[christianhess]

[lucidstudious]

"you dont think, you just are" is the best way i can explain flow state

[FlipsideD]

It's really interesting how much of basketball correlates with matial arts and life in general

[bpswank]

[t-topof]
