How to Develop Confidence in Basketball

Confidence in Basketball Comes with Repetition

 

At a loss for how to instill confidence in your basketball players? Confidence comes with repetition. All good shooters have the confidence that each shot they attempt will go in.

 

10,000 Hours

I recently heard an NBA coach speak at a basketball coaching clinic, and he said that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become a master of something.

Think about that.

To become a master at something, someone would have to spend 3 hours a day for 9 years practicing without taking a day off. That may seem like a lot to many, but I recently had the privilege of being able to witness first hand the time one takes to become great.

 

Dreaming vs. Doing

To me, this dedicated unfailing repetition demonstrated by Gilbert Arenas is what clearly separates those who dream about being great and those who actually put in the time and sacrifice to be great!
