The #1 Mistake Young Basketball Players Make
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- In this video I want to talk about a mistake I see being made by young players as they go about their basketball journey. It is a mistake I often made, and one that can be solved with a simple shift in mindset.
Last summer, I spoke to the current basketball team at my high school. I started out my incredible speech with a simple question. How many of you want to play college basketball? I expected this to get the players interested. That they would all raise their hand and get to learn what it takes from a successful college basketball player.
But now I think that was the wrong question. If I could have a do over, I would have changed my question just slightly. I would have asked them, how many of you love playing basketball?

bro i don't know how he got videos of such good quality while only having 4k subscribers like come on he deserves atleast a million
Thank you!
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
True bro
nah fr bro
Fr, it's exactly what my mind was confused about
This is something my coach has been telling our team for ages, but i think now i understand more about what it means to put in the effort.
Personally, i dont care whether i make the nba and win 4 mvps, or if i play with my mates in a local rec league. I might actually prefer playing with my mates, because i will probably enjoy it more.
I love this mentality!
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
i didn’t realize how much i needed this i am always too hard on myself and make myself even worse, thank you so much.
I feel like a lot of us are so hard on ourselves. You aren't the only one. Glad I could help!
Oh this is why players like Kobe have always said, “love the journey”. Thanks!
Been watching for maybe two weeks? This is an incredible channel. I’m not trying to pursue basketball as a career anymore but this reminds me why I love the sport, it motivates me, and entertains a ton. Really a gem
Let's go!
Definitely sending this to my son. He has middle school tryouts today! 🙏🏽
Yes you definitely should!
Im grateful that i came across this video. And i thankful for u giving us hoopers this advice. I was always thinking of the end goal (which was making the NBA) and i used to think that if I didn’t i would be seen as a failure. Now after recovering from my injury and seeing this vid I realize i took basketball for granted. So i just enjoy the process and the game of basketball with everything from the heart ❤🏀
Love to hear your shift in mentality. Keep loving the game!
Thank you for this video answering my question, I’ll do my best this year for the love of the game!!
That is what I like to hear!
bro really just said eh yea broke my nose yesterday made a quick adjustment and now we good!
WWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Haha that is how it goes!
I just started basketball im 8th grade ever since i started doing some training at our school I was just happy to play and saying to my dad that i improved in some way
Glad to hear this!
I’m in 8th grade too :)
Man your vids are such a relief on expectations, amd that part about the process, bro, that's amazing. Brasilia BR
Let's go! Glad to hear that.
@@TuckerRichardson 💪💎
Thank you for this Video and your others videos you have already made an impact on my life
And also if you every reply to 5his I’m in 8th grade and I want to know how to improve on all aspects of the court
It’s always a good day when bro uploads also hope your nose feels better
haha thank you!
Even if you were not as achieved as you are, I'd still listen and learn from you. But DAMN, just looked at your stats, B-R-OOOOOOOOO. You crazyyy. Flex them accolades a little more. 15 5 5 with 3 steals??? WTF??? Love the videos so much. Only a month in and every video is gold. Short and helpful. Especially free throw oned help a ton. Keep going. You gonna be big. Or not. But you will still help the 50k or so that stick around a tonne.
Wow thank you for this!! I’m glad to be helping haha.
Hey Tucker! It’s Robert Cope, Emily’s brother:) When I played in High School I second guessed myself a lot because I set unrealistic goals for myself then failed to reach them and it made me afraid to shoot. So I agree, focus on love of the game not always the milestones:)
Exactly! You get it! Nice to hear from you Robert!!!
I never get any playtime at all. But you’re right, I need to focus on the process. Thank you, thank you so much. I needed this, lots.
You are welcome, glad to help!
Love your videos keep goin man 🖤
Thank you!
Thanks. I need this. First week of my MS boys practice and struggling one getting them to play. I’m gonna throw this at them. Change their perspective. Hopefully it helps. Good luck on the nose. Had mine broken freshman year first couple of practices. Raccoon eyes are coming😂😂😂😂😂
Haha yes I'm sure they are. Thank you and I hope this can help them!!
Wow!!!! I’m blown away with this advice. It’s solid and useful, I’m going to pass this on to my Son. And practice this philosophy with him.
That is fantastic! Thank you!
Recently I lost my confidence and aggressiveness on the court. As a team we were losing games left and right and I was ready to quit the game forever. This video really put things into perspective and im very glad i watched it. Thanks so much!
You are welcome, glad to help.
Thank you for this advice I really needed it. I'm a girl from Nigeria who has little to no encouragements in the game of basketball even though I love it but this talk today has motivated me and I will keep on working ❤.
You are welcome! If you love the game, you should always keep working!
Best Hoop content on YT Keep grinding

Your tips are soooooo helpful, you deserve way more subscribers then you have, especially with the quality of your videos.

I have my game on Saturday I’m already the captain of my team but I don’t really care I just enjoy playing with my friends on the team😊
This is what it is all about!
great video and I love the John Wooden quote, thanks for sharing
I appreciate it!
this guy is speaking facts! i’m only in AAU but i can tell who only play basketball for the perks( at this time there’s not that much 😂) but i’ve seen who loves basketball( including me)
Thank you!
You the goat Tucker!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video! It has helped me a lot
That is what I like to hear!
Great Video! I needed this and I'm in my late 30's
Wow that is cool to hear!
Thanks for another video! I appreciate because sometimes in games, I get too focused on my lack of points, and not how much I love basketball.
Exactly. Focus on the things you can control!
Great message! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
You are welcome, that is what I'm trying to do with this channel.
Thanks man i think i needed to hear this
Hope I could help in any way.
@@TuckerRichardson You did more than you know. I'm in middle school and starting in my first game this Saturday, I was setting really high exceptions for myself and i was stressing over it a lot. Now i know to just be cool with it and play the game i love
Exactly. That is the mindset to have! And also to want to have an impact on winning of course. @@TheAboveAverage_Joe
Tucker, as a younger player who isn't as good as his peers, I often find it hard to speak or have the loudest voice because I feel like my say is not valid. What can I do to combat this way of thinking? Not only does it effect me on the court, but it effects me off the court as well
As far as on the court, I don't think you have to be the best player on your team to have the loudest voice or for others to believe in what you are saying. A lot of teams have emotional leaders who aren't the star player. And off the court, a lot of that is probably a lack of confidence in what you have to say. This is a really hard thing to fix, but I think one solution would be to think deeply about the people you surround yourself with. If you surround yourself with like minded people who care about you, they will listen to what you have to say.
out work them bro
Hey man this really has helped me alot and keep up the good work 💪 thanks for the tips
You are so welcome, glad to help!
Liked and subbed. My son just made the 7th grade team, Glad i found you. Looking forward to your help, thanks
Thank you, tell him to keep working!
Bro, i play in for a team in a small island in greece. Our team is the worst in the league. The only reason i am in the team is because no matter if we are losing for like 40 point, i am having fun. This saturday we are playing against the second worse team so this could be a potential first win. No matter what, i will have the time of my life and thats what matters
Another great video Tucker!
Thank you!
Great video! and great advice!
Thank you!
Thanks man
You are welcome!
I played on drifty elite and got my name out there but I'm just starting hs and have high expectations how do I deal with that
Again, like I say in this video, I think you should have high expectations in yourself in terms of how hard you work. However, I don't think you should have those same expectations when it comes to the outcomes of your basketball journey. So keep getting your name out there, and the rest will take care of itself!
ok thank you @@TuckerRichardson
Great Video! Proud 8731th subscriber 😈
Lets go!
@@TuckerRichardson got a big game tomorrow, pray for me🤞I'mma let you know
But setting high expectations makes me play harder but also makes me feel like im not goo enough
Interesting, maybe you should try and shift your mindset so that you are working really hard because of your passion and love for the game, not your expectations on the outcome of your basketball journey.
@@TuckerRichardson Thanks I'll try, got ny 2nd game of the season on Sunday. Any tips 4 preparing
This is awesome!! How do you stay mentally even keeled and focus on all the great plays you make? Some guys have a lot of trouble with being perfect. How do you remind yourself of how good you are and the great things you did rather than remembering every missed play??? Thank you!! Great basketball mind
I guess for me, it isn't about focusing on the bad plays OR the great plays, it is about living in the moment and focusing on the next play. That is something I have gotten so much better at over the years. Now I try to worry less on how many shots I have made or miss, and just worry about staying consistent with how I attack each play throughout a game. Hope this helps!
This, this is it.
Yup.
Thanks you
You are welcome!
True!💯
One thing I really want is to win an nba championship and then hug my mom in the stands.
Haha, don't we all!
@@TuckerRichardson yessir
Give us a motivation video!!!!!!
You need motivation?? I can try that!
Man… I wish I could just hoop and I love hooping. The thing restricting me is that I ALWAYS get hurt.
Ugh, yeah injuries are such an unfortunate part of the game. I'm sorry to hear this and hope you get healthy.
@@TuckerRichardson Thank you so much, I’m feeling better.
Hey, I’m 6 ft 1 with a 6’6 wingspan. I go to a small school but I work extremely hard. What are your suggestions to be noticed by a college as a short guard?
If you aren’t getting exposure from your school, you are probably going to need to get noticed by schools in other ways. A couple ways are to send your film in to college coaches, or to try and go to some elite camps and get noticed. Best of luck!
@@TuckerRichardson ❤️
liar.@@JC-Prod-y6y
I guess im doing something right because whenever something EMBARRASSING happens to me I never put my head down I just say “let me get it back on offense/defense”
That is a good mentality to have!
bro just casually says he broke his nose yesterday
💀
I got through it and kept playing!
Good vid
Thank you!
What if I work hard because of my passion & my expectation??
Instead of just one or the other **
I understand this mindset, all I am trying to get younger players to understand is that whether or not you meet your expectations, if you follow your love for the game you will still feel fulfillment in your journey. I hope this makes sense haha.
@@TuckerRichardson Yessir
kova jätkä, where in finland u playing bro
I play for BC Nokia.
My mistake is being short at 18
:/
im 6'2 in middle school(eight grade) and a benchwarmer any tips
Keep working to get better, you have plenty of time.
i used to play basketball in my first country and got moved in australia and almost 3months ago when i was came in australia and i having a bad time cuz having a not good genetics which is my height i'm 5'9 asian average height😂.so i doubting if i still continue playing basketball cuz like should do other stuff than playing basketball
If you love the game and have a passion for it, I think you should pursue that. You never know what can come in the future!
commenting to boost this video. more people need to see this. pin?
Appreciate it!
advice didnt help at all. i went 0/7 shooting from just 3 foot shots. and 0 rebounds. 😔
Hmmmm, well the advice was that it is about the process, not individual games or shots. Keep working!
What’s Up Tucker I Averaged 20.2 Points 2.3 Assist 3.7 Rebounds 4.0 Steals Per Game (8 Minute Quarters) I Played 16 Games Ended Up Going 14-2 In 6th Grade Last Year Now I’m Playing Middle School Basketball (We Play 21 Games 12 Minute Quarter) What Stats Should I Go For Could You Break It Down Into Points Assist Rebounds And Steals I Want To Be A Super Player 35+ Points 5+ Assist 5+ Rebounds 10+ Steals Loved The Vid TRich Keep Going 🔥🐐
Well, my advice is and always has been that it isn't about the stats necessarily, although it is cool to hear you are so successful. So don't go for certain stats, just continue to work at your game and the stats will take care of themselves.
@@TuckerRichardson Ok Got It Thanks For The Insight
great video def deserve more subscribers but you have got mine 🙌
I appreciate that!
I am gonna make it
You are NBA draft worthy
I saw ur game against seagulls ur tuff!
Thank you! Wish we could have gotten the win though...
Hey man, I got a question.
How can i get to a good Collage in the US if I am from Germany
It is going to be hard being overseas, but there are a lot of Euro players in college basketball obviously. I am not an expert on how to do this, but I would recommend getting some film together of your games and emailing it to coaches in America.
@@TuckerRichardsonThanks Brother
what age did you start playing basketball?
I was very young, probably around 4 or 5 I already had a ball in my hands.
@@TuckerRichardson hmm ok
💪🔥
Sorry to ask but what should i do if im kind of loosing love for the game but still playing any tips? Im 13 if that makes a diffrence
I think sometimes with any sport, the passion for the game can go up and down, but if you really feel like you have lost your love for the game overall, I'm not sure what advice I have. Maybe take some time away from basketball and you will miss it and come back to it?
@@TuckerRichardson thanks☝️
❤
hey man i support pyrinto but your balling out in nokia
Thank you!
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
