This week I created my website and planned an initial test of my basketball skills. The test will have multiple drills about different parts of basketball that are necessary for a player to be successful. I will find my starting point by the end of the test that includes 50 free throw attempts, 50 mid-range attempts, 25 floaters, 25 pull up mid-range attempts, 50 3 point attempts, ball handling drills, and a vertical jump. I will also be playing pick-up games and eventually AAU games to improve my in-game performance meaning I will try to track my performance in those games.
Every drill included in the test will be performed multiple times throughout the 12 weeks and more often on weeks where I prioritize that skill. An example of this would be practicing my mid-range jumpshots and pull up mid-range jumpshots a lot on the week that I prioritize my mid-range game. Since I have to have a balanced game, I will work on other skills like my ball handling and vertical jump but just not as much as my mid-range that week. It might be confusing as to why I decided to add vertical jump training into the project but it’s important for a player like me. Although it isn’t a direct basketball skill, it raises the ability of how well you might be able to do certain things on the court. Anytime a basketball player goes up for a layup, contested jumpshot, rebound, or block, it is better to get off of the ground higher than your opponent. Since I’m a shorter basketball player, every one of those skills is harder for me but increasing my vertical jump would help all of them. Becoming more athletic will be crucial to how I am viewed by coaches and my success against older players.
