How You Can Take Advantage of Your Mind as a Basketball Player
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- Have you ever gone home after a basketball game and kept replaying a moment in your head? Maybe a turnover you had, or a play where you got the ball on the wing and you should have shot it, but you passed instead. I do this constantly after my games. And this is definitely a good thing to do, as well as watching film after a game to learn where you could be more effective.
Now what if you did this, but before a game instead of after it? It might sound crazy, but many of the best athletes and basketball players in the world do this. The name of this technique is visualization, and many of you have probably heard of it.
In this video, I want to break down what visualization is, why it is so effective, and how you can implement it into your basketball life.

This helped me so much! I average about 3-4 ppg (more of a hustle player) but today I visualized myself making buckets and had 16 points with 4 3s
Let's go!!
That's great. Don't fret your hopes up though, that type of improvement is highly unlikely to be sustainable
got a game tommorow hope it will work !!!
@@smashguys9725Did it work
😊
Visualizing and praying helped me not be nervous and have 100000x more confident
Love that it helped your mentality!
Your videos are literally the best things in existence
Haha thank you! Keep watching!
Great Advice will implement to my game
For sure, try it out!
definitely haven't implemented this consistently but thinking back on it i can remember moments where this has happened to me...napping before games might be an elite strategy as well as that is the time for your brain to consolidate and run through memories of what happens to you, solidifying visualization memories further
Yes exactly! Laying down and getting some peace while the mind works through stuff I think is a really good idea for all players.
Great video! I play pro as well. Currently in Poland and I've been trying work on my mental game. I do some visualization for free throws, but now i really want to try it for longer and with other in-game situations. I do have the time as well 😆
Haha I feel you with the free time thing. It is definitely worth a try. Best of luck over there!
Only 5K?! Wow bro. Keep it up. Those numbers are gonna sky rocket. Great content
Ah thank you!!
A form of visualization I use is when I am shooting around, I imagine the defender in front of me and how I would create a shot/get around them and create space. It’s helped me a lot!
Also, great video Tuck!! These videos are so helpful:)
This is great! Thank you!
u r so under rated could you please do another video like the one on Thomas Walkup. These mentality videos are still amazing though
Yeah definitely going to get back into some film breakdowns as well.
bro is goated
Thanks!
Had a game last night, i only got to the line once, but i tried the visualisation and i went 1-2, which as im sure you remember is a vast imporvement lol. Finished the game with 17 points (my 2nd highest score all season) and we won by 3 so im happy
Let's go! Great to hear you are having more success haha. Keep up the good work.
I am so grateful that I found your channel thanks a lot for posting these type of videos!
You are welcome. Thank you for supporting!
I averaged like 3 PPG in middle school, but last game I went 7-7 from the line with an And-1.
Let's go!
Keep going bro you are a legend
Thank you, will do!
crazy thing: Your teammate Kahros Ross actually played at the start of the season at my club Sluneta where he wasnt a very good fit, you can ask him
Very interesting. He has been great for us!
your the best basketball youtuber i watched all of your videos and im seeing improvment thank you so much you should have a lot more followers
Let's go, I love to hear this!!
Appreciate your videos they help me so much
I'm glad they do!
yeah I would say it works I have read several mental toughness books and they all reccommend mental visualization I would also reccomend metidating if you can't focus during games or practice. It makes a difference in my game by allowing me to focus and perform at the heighest level
Exactly, everyone talks about it and it seems like a good percentage of elite athletes take advantage of both of those practices. Thanks for sharing!
Again another dope video, can't wait for the next one
Thank you!
Watching this video made me relise all my best plays I had I imagined myself doing for weeks
Wow! That is so cool to hear, you were already doing this then...
Wow this is so helpful I appreciate the advice
You are welcome!
Great video, keep it up
Thank you!
I wish i was stil in high school when i found your channel
I appreciate that, sorry you aren't!
This is a great thing to do! Thanks great vid
Thank you!
@@TuckerRichardson no problem!
Thank you Tucker, I’ve learned a lot on how to utilize visualization. Your whole UA-cam has made a change for me thank you so much
You are welcome, happy to hear this!
I haven't actually thought about visualizing before. Thank you for another great tip. I will definitely make sure to regularly visualize in my games.
You are welcome, try it out!
I’m gonna use this in my next game good videos keep it up
Sounds good, thank you!
Thank you giving out gems every day God bless you ❤
You're welcome!
I might try this aswell!🔥
I recommend!
I haven't done this before...definitely gonna be working on it. I'm a good shooter in games but I think a lot of it is muscle memory without having visualized specific plays...that's a cool idea and I'll add it to my routine for sure
Try it out and see how it works for you!
Dude you deserve way more credit for giving out great advice ❤❤
Thank you! Glad to help.
Hey coach, im a big fan! Currently im a 5'9 freshman guard trying to get moved to the jv team. Do you have any advice on what i should do everyday to get moved up? Advice on treating my body to get taller or any advice on improving my vertical?
Great stuff man! I have used visualization before and have found that if I visualize too much or visualize situations that are unrealistic it can lead to thoughts of negative outcomes and overthinking which ultimately hurts me on the court. Just wanted to see if you have ever experienced this or heard of it. Keep up the great work!
Yes I know what you mean, sort of like how overthinking in a game can lead to negative results. I think visualization works for me though because it actually allows me to think less when the game begins, as I have already played these situations in my head. And certainly if you visualize negative or unrealistic things, that will ultimately hurt you more than help you.
@@TuckerRichardson yes I think I just need to practice it more because it has also really helped me. Thanks for the reply
I assumed most ppl naturally did this, I always visualize naturally before any sport I’ve ever played
That so cool but I don't think it is natural for everyone, at least it wasn't for me!
@@TuckerRichardson Yea after I watched your video I do this before like anything where I feel like I need to perform in front of people. I think for me it’s actually like a defense mechanism to make sure I don’t mess up but yea it works.
Like you said after games at the beginning or pickup I visualize what I could of done better or when the defender started sprinting on defense I do a crossover to create space. I’m definitely going to do this before games or practice
That is great to hear!
Hey Tucker, great vid I’m a freshman in high school and I was wondering if you have any advice for me to one day get a d1 scholarship one day and have a successful high school basketball career?
Check out my video on my story to getting a scholarship. You might learn some stuff about my journey in there. Otherwise, just keep working, it is still really early for you!
So how many times should i replay each moment that I’m visualising? And Should i do it with music or just block out noise? And my last question is how much time before the game should i do it?
Great questions! And I think the answer to all of them is, it is up to you! In my opinion, thinking through the plays in your mind just one time, as long as you are doing it in a very detailed way, can be enough. I liked listening to music when I visualize, but that might not work for you. And you can visualize the day of the game or before it if you want. I like doing It the day of the game because it feels fresh in my mind.
@@TuckerRichardsonGot it. Thanks!
Go 'Gate!
Always!
I just watched your video on selfishness and right now heading into my first season of High School basketball I can agree with that considering I only have two other players that care one of them is a Patrick Beverley archetype whereas the other is like a Kawhi that can only defend and layup and I would say right now I play like Luka Doncic should I help them improve by passing more or should I just take the winning/selfish route?
I think both ways can be beneficial to your game. However I will say, if you are the hardest worker/most skilled player on your team, then you will need to be aggressive an in attack mode for your team to have its best chance to win games.
@@TuckerRichardson Thank you for responding I will make sure to update you on how it goes
Please do!@@PG13FAN
@@TuckerRichardson Since you’re closer to Kobe than I am to you please give me a Challenge for the season
What kind of shooting drills did you do for better shooting?
I tend to mix up my shooting workouts, but I always try and work on shots that I know I will get in a game. This means a lot of on the move shooting. I try to do as little stand still shooting as possible, especially when I am training in the off season.
Is visualization a skill you can work on because i was trying this the day i watched this i had a game same day and i couldn’t visualize almost at all after like 20 minutes of trying i sorta did ik theres studys that say some can really good and some cant at all
I do think it is something you can get better at with patience.
Love form india🇮🇳
Thank you for the support!
Should I visualize my self in first person or in third person
You can do either one! I like to do it in the first person.
@@TuckerRichardson thanks
I literally pretend I’m Steph Curry. It helps.
Haha I'm sure that does.
why u look like jesser😭😭
I really don't see it hahahaha
I visualized typing this comment and poof, as of the moment I push the send button this will go into. The comment section… nothing but (inter) net. 1 2 3 riiiiiiiiight …. now
Edit: clearly I need to work on my space bar skills as I hit it twice causing a error of the second period…. resulting in capital punishment.
This is a creative comment.
I'm not in a team but this works when I practice. I was doing dribbling combos all across the coart and then made 3 straight NBA range 3s because I didn't limit my mind and took the shot
Pretty cool!
