To be a great basketball player you have to train hard day and night. You have to want to be the best player on the court at all times. In this world, it is not enough to be thinking that there is someone in another place practicing right now and I am not. What you must be thinking is that there is someone in another place who practices better than me. That is what this article will help you with. It will tell you the best three tools to bring your game to the next level.
1. THE GUN: This piece of equipment is very expensive costing about $4,500. This makes it a piece of equipment a person does not have to own, but every basketball program must own. Just like every gym you go to has a basketball hoop with a net in it, every gym should have a gun. The gun allows you to get off so many more shots than you would be able to by yourself. What it does is catch all the ball you shoot at the hoop, and then shoot them back out to you. It can even keep track of your shots made and missed.
This piece of equipment really helped me out as an individual. I was on JV one year with really only one aspect to my game and that was my drive. I used the gun the next summer and was on Varsity the next year with one of the best shots in conference. Opposing coaches were yelling, "Guard the shooter." They were talking about me. It made me so much better because I was able to get off a couple hundred shots in half an hour. It helped out with my game and there is nothing else that does what the gun does, so you should work to get one.
2. Jump Shoes: These will bring you to a new level athletically. Basketball is athleticism plus talent. With these shoes you will not only be able to jump higher, but you will be able to jump higher faster. You do not want to be that person who takes the longest time to be able to jump high. You want to be able to jump high right away and that is what these shoes will do for you. They will train you to be a fast person.
3. Tennis ball: This piece of equipment you might laugh at, but it is a necessity, and not too expensive. The tennis ball is used to bring your ball handling to the next level. When doing dribbling drills, use the tennis ball. Throw it up, and snatch it out of the air. When you do a crossover, switch hands on the throw. Any dribbling drill can have this tennis ball incorporated into it. The tennis ball will make you focus on something also while dribbling, because just looking up is not enough. In games, you must be looking up and analyzing the court at the same time.
In the end, you still need a gym and court, a basketball, and a hoop with and net.
