I really felt it when your coach never let you play in your high school career, I'm in middle school right now and my team and coach don't let me play but your story really motivated me to put the work in or I wont achieve anything
I was looking into your basketball journey on the internet & I’m glad you making long form content. Sometimes the short term content gets repetitive, no knock to you.
i love this and excited for this series, like all jokes aside, you're actually like a legit hooper and you finally do something serious on your channel and we get to hear your story and learn about the real taquavion. I'm sorry I had to I know your name chill
bro but like fr bro why aren’t you in the NBA ur literally one of the best hoopers i’ve seen and u put in so much work from what i’ve seen. keep up the good work 🔥
Me personally I like this series keep doing it my question is how can I improve my defense if the player I am guarding is faster than me and thank you raye
Raye McKinney your Short videos are like what made me feel in love with the channel and got me more motivated to practice more in basketball keep it up
I'm so thankful to be able to see your story and it is inspiring. But I really felt it when your coach never let you play in your high school career : ( Do you think you could give some advice for some of us who want to make out high school teams but lack experience? How should I approach high school basketball?
Yooo! I have some advice for you, I am currently off season training right now for Varsity (I’m in 11th grade) and the best way to go about it is to train at your closest hoop a lot. Push ups, weight training, cardio conditioning all of that. Reach out to the school coach and ask if they have off season workouts or scrimmages to attend and get the attention of the coaching staff
That's so funny. I was watching a video today and I was like "man why doesn't this dude have anything about who he really is?". I go look at your channel, and boom there it is 11hrs ago. Nice to finally meet you, Raye 🤝
Thank you for sharing your experience Raye. You have an interesting experiences. I love to played basketball in middle school and high school on my lunch break or physical education. I did tried basketball Summer camp before high school. My Summer camp was so embarrassing. I was scared when I ran the ball near the half court line as the bal lhandler and I was double team. I kinda froze and didn't know how to react. The second was passing the ball to a teammate and running around wanting the ball back. The third embarrassing thing was tripping and falling because an opponent was behind me. I walked backward without watching who was behind my back. The only cool thing I did was shooting a 3 with only my right hand from the 2 position on the court. Basketball high school tryouts was difficult. I didn't know what to expect, very difficult doing the drills for the first time, and I didn't know how to run any plays that the high school coach were expecting. I never tried basketball tryouts. Too hard for me after my first experience.
love your content bro keep grinding and doing what you love and for future video reference can you talk about what your training routine for weight lifting and basketball during high school
I take basketball seriously too, but my parents won't let me do stuff like go to the local rec or gym. Imm still try to find a way to get good though. Also, I'm just a bit scared to play, but confidence is key, and I'm gonna workout till I blackout.
I’m at this point where I’m losing motivation to play basketball. I just see everyone surpassing me and it makes me want to quit. During praticed I stop putting in my 100%. My teammates don’t talk to me, and it’s hard. I’m slowly losing the love for basketball. But your shorts are always something I enjoy. So thank you, keep shooting! 😀
Keep truking ik its tuff i quit for a year and fell in love again and is happy have life long friends and teammates who share the love just put in work and prove them wrong trainers help with a bit of motivation
Bro keep up the work. The fact that you're this far is already good enough. I suggest watching videos on form and dribbling ig. I don't know your situation in fact you're most likely better then me bro but please keep up that grind. We're all in this together.
Bro I 100% get what you mean by scared to play. I would practice and be pretty good but get the ball and freeze up and not know what to do. But once I started playing with confidence my whole game opened up to a new level
@@tkn9979 thx bro. most of the time i just eat a lot of proteins and a decent amount of carbs and sometimes i have desserts but for the most part I'm pretty clean with my diet.
On your next hoopers talk video can you give some tips on what workouts to do for basketball and what drills will help me get better ball handling because i got a good shot and can shoot threes and make them but don't got good handles i got good defense but my offense is kind of lacking so can you please give some tips ty.
