A Way to be Better at Basketball…

Basketball is a great sport that can be played almost anywhere.  But there is a way to be better than your opponents on the court.  If you want an advantage you needs to increase your stamina.  The one who can play harder for longer usually comes out victorious.

You want to dominate a pick-up game of basketball or a real game?  Run the floor constantly.  You’d be surprised how many easy points & rebounds can be earned.  But in order to get to that level of constantly running, your stamina needs to be increased.

When you’re not tired the game of basketball is easy.  Working on your skills is important but what good is that if you can barely get up and down the court.

In closing if you want to an edge over your opponents, build up your stamina.  You will see the game will be a lot more easy and fun.

Here are 3 ways to build your stamina.

1. Run 5 to 10 sets of suicides after pick-up games.
2. Find a 20 yard hill or a set of stairs to sprint up 10-20 times.  
3. Jump Roping. Do rep pyramid (100 x 200 x 300 x 400 x 500 x 400 x 300 x 200 x 100). Shuffle step and High knees.
