The focus of this week was ball-handling. I’ve always been amazing at dribbling and shifting quickly while handling the ball to score or open up opportunities on the court which is why I was excited to practice more on this skill this week. I started my drills at the YMCA on Monday. The ball-handling drills that I practice usually take about 15 minutes. A few of the drills that are included in this time frame are between-the-leg, behind-the-back, figure eight, and in-and-out crossovers. After the ball-handling drills on Monday, I played some pick-up games and hit a plyometric workout. Although I still practiced my ball-handling skills on Tuesday, I did them at Rise. After the drills, I attempted some 3-pointers with some rebounding help from a friend. I didn’t workout either. Luckily, I was able to workout the next day. Unfortunately, I forgot to practice dribbling because of this. I played basketball for a few hours with some friends in pick-up games and then worked my chest and triceps out after. Thursday and Friday practices were similar to most others since they were spent at a team practice and included a light practice that aimed to prepare me for my upcoming tournaments. My practice session on Friday was spent at Rise. I practiced ball-handling once again and messed up less compared to when I practiced the drills on Monday. After the drills, I practiced game-like situations for about an hour and a half. Sadly, the drills that I practiced throughout the week didn’t seem to significantly impact my performances in the tournament. I played at the shooting guard position for most of the games and didn’t have the ball in my control as much as I would’ve liked to. Because of this, my main role was to be ready to shoot. My shot didn’t fall throughout all three games and I might’ve played the worst I’ve ever played.
