Stop Overthinking & Play Better In Games!

As a basketball player, you'll never reach anywhere near your potential if you don't train your mind and psychological tools. No shot. This may not be as pretty as working on your game, but it's something that can change your career and your life in general!

The reason most players overthink in any sport is because they’re not being themselves. Trainers and coaches are teaching a uniform style which lead to players not being able to discover who they truly are. Magic, Bird, Jordan and Isiah never copied each other and all are equally great. Now it’s a Kyrie/Curry factory no matter the movement or size. Study players that naturally move like you and watch the overthinking disappear. No matter how much we teach the mental game and practice, players will never reach their potential until they find themselves.

Wooow you cannot believe how perfect this is. I just had two of the worst games of my life this weekend. One was a bad scoring game. I couldn't make a layup to save my life then the second one was just bad overall game from playmaking as the point guard to contributimg offensively in any way. This is just perfect💯💯

I had that problem sometimes growing up in high-level soccer. Nowadays as a basketball player I don't give af and I have a really good natural feel for the game because of soccer. But now I lack a little bit of skill. But I'm getting there.

Instead of thinking about how you're going to plan your next move, your next pass, your next read, instead focus on the mind muscle connection, the feeling of the body. Your goal is to make that transition from memory/muscle memory to action as seamless as possible. If you give your conscience and overthinking brain all the control, you won't react quick enough to anything. Let your subconscious take over and feel each movement without active thought. This is the best advice I've ever received for overthinking and translating to game speed.

Overthinking is from anxiety, anxiety can only be cured by the Lord Jesus Christ. I tried everything for years and He was the one that set me free.

I love all the different clips that you use, especially from the nbl. I may be biased as an Australian, but I think it’s such an exciting, yet underrated league.

hi coach, can you make a guide on veteran who play casually ? I follow this channel like religion when I was in college, but since I don't become pro I only play every now and then. Please if you think it's a good idea, make a guide on conditioning, warmup, and drills for a veteran (25-35years old) who just play after not playing for a long time. I played a pickup games, and my knee makes a pop sound when I defend someone, went to traditional massage and luckily it's not acl tear or anything serious. I hope this idea or story helps someone, train 'crab walk' (defensive slide) if you havent play basketball in a long time.

Thanks man, you're really a good coach 💯🔥

I really like what you said about how in a lot of cases there is no right or wrong read/decision, unlike football where there's almost always a right and wrong read/decision. This will help to loosen me up.
