Be an All-Star

It's known that human motivation is strongly linked to desire. Meaning that when you have a strong desire to do something, your motivation will most likely be very high...

And, those that follow their desire, their passion, and take action quickly...those are the ones that achieve the highest levels of success.

If you sit back and watch the clock tick, putting things off until "later", you'll never be as successful as you truly want...

This is a lesson in life, absorb it, and start applying it to your basketball game today...

So, to be a "true" All-Star, you gotta start working on your game today, and take it dead-seriously. The secret to being an all-star in today's age is to be a well-rounded, "versatile" player.

A "versatile" basketball player is someone who can do multiple things, such as handle the ball, drive, shoot, and pass. The more you can do, the more you're likely to succeed in today's age of basketball.

Most of the guards and forwards even in open college matches are the one who are most versatile...they can do a variety of things, which earns them respect in there teams, from handling the ball to hitting threes, to taking it inside and grabbing rebounds.

If you wanna play basketball at a high-level, then you need to start working on the following things:

1) Be quicker, faster, and jump higher

2) Develop 1-on-1 moves (Such as ball-handling moves and/or post-up moves)

3) Become a better team-mate (By learning how to pass and/or moving well without the ball)

4) Become a better "hustler" (By improving your perimeter defense and/or low-post defense, and learn how to rebound well)

Truly, the greatest All-Stars work on the above 4 things and this is what separates them from "average" players...

“Don't you wanna be the go-to-player that the competition fears?”

Ask yourself this question seriously.
If the answer is yes, you know what to do…
