My most productive practice sessions occurred during this week. I recorded a total of 165 shots taken and played in multiple pick-up games at Rise Monday. 75 of these attempted jump shots were catch-and-shoot mid-ranges and the other 90 were pull-up mid-range shots. I went 47/75 and 52/90 on these shots.
Tuesday was similar to Monday since I attempted only 15 fewer shots that day. I made 37/50 catch-and-shoot mid-range shots, 32/50 3-pointers, and 35/50 pull-up mid-ranges. I also targeted my biceps in the gym later in the day even though I was supposed to work my back out as well. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to maintain this great start to the week. I spent all of Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning at my house working on my ABC project for my AP history class. I worked on the project for 9 hours straight and finished it at 6 A.M. This meant I didn’t sleep at all and would’ve had to get ready for school soon so I decided to miss half of the school day. I went to my team practice after school and that was the only basketball I played throughout the two days. Luckily, I was able to practice a lot more the next day. I went to Rise and attempted 200 shots. I went 51/75 on catch-and-shoot mid-ranges, 54/75 on 3-pointers, and 28/50 on pull-up mid-range jumpers. I hit a plyometric workout after putting up shots to finish my Friday. The weekend included a 3 game tournament, a freestyle practice, and another plyometric workout. I performed unsatisfactory in the tournament due to a lack of aggressiveness and not shooting enough. I went 3/9 from the field throughout the 3 games and only had 10 points. I could’ve blamed my rough performance on my pinky that dislocated around 10 days prior or the fact that I was trying to find my groove with a new team but most of it was probably mental. Being confident and aggressive are necessary for playing my best version of basketball. On Sunday, I finished up my week at Rise with another plyometric workout and a fun individual practice with my earbuds in. My practices were intense all week and the only thing I truly regret was how I procrastinated on my project which affected some of my time that could’ve been used to play basketball or workout.
