Are you or your teammates out of shape? When you’re in the game does it feel extremely fast paced to you? These are all problems of you or your teammates being out of shape. Do your opponents score a lot more points than you every game? Conditioning is a huge part of any sport. You have to win.
Not being in shape as a player puts a lot of pressure on your teammates? You struggle getting back on defense. Which allows the other team to get easy opportunities at more points. You struggle making it up the court on offense which gives the other team opportunities to trap and get turnovers. All these things put your team in a bad spot. Which will cause the coach to not want to play you.
There are many options to get some conditioning in for basketball. You could always get on the treadmill and run some miles. You could even go on the track and do the same thing as well. You can go on the field or on the basketball court and run sprints. All these things will help build up your endurance. Which will help you tremendously on the court.
There are many options to get in shape but my recommended solution is to play in as many pickup or regular basketball games as you can. Basketball is a game of back and forth but it’s not always full speed and it’s not always at a slow speed. The speed of the game changes dramatically in different situations. So playing basketball games will help you get used to that. My other recommendation is to go full speed in basketball drills. Train like you’re already in the game. So when it’s time to play you’ll already be prepared to play at a fast pace.
Conditioning is huge in all sports but especially basketball. If you have any more suggestions or comments don’t be afraid to post them on my site. I will get back to them as soon as possible. Your feedback means the world to me. Post as many as you like and I will get back to them all.
