Line 1: |
| − | Keep your head up when you dribble. By focusing your sight on the ball, you cannot be fully aware of your surroundings. Take your basketball everywhere. Whenever you are walking and it is appropriate, dribble there. If you look your ball, you can't see the court.

| − | Don't pump a lot of iron if you wish to become a jump shooter. It's possible to have excessive muscles when you play the perimeter. Certain pro guards ended up increasing their arm size so much that their shooting started to suffer.

| − | When using the ball a lot, you must relearn a crossover. This term refers to switching the hand you use. The move must be done quickly if it is going to work. By having the ability to move either way quickly, you will become a better all-around player.

| |
| − | Practice basketball in season and out of season. Basketball is a multiple player sport, but other people won't always be around. Don't fret! You can still accomplish a lot when playing solo. Practice free throws and layups. You don't need other players to work on your skills.

| − | You can learn how to better pass the ball if you run drills without the dribble. It is a challenge not to dribble while playing, but it will ensure the accuracy of your team's passes. Don't get frustrated if it's hard at first because it will get better over time.

| |
| − | When developing your jumping skills, limit your use of weight-training. Muscle flexibility is more important than muscle mass. If your arms are too big, your field goal percentage will go down.

| |
| − | You never want to have your back to the ball if you can help it. This keeps you aware of what is going on so you aren't surprised. Keep your eyes open for areas that are open.

| |
| − | One thing to consider if your shooting percentage drops is that your shoulders may be inconsistent when you are shooting. Whenever your shoulders aren't in a good position, you simply will not shoot well, regardless of your skill level. You'll want to ensure that your shoulders are squared up towards the hoops. The shoulder that's dominant should be in line with the rim.

| |
| − | Always have an awareness of the location and movement of your feet. Out of bounds will happen with even one toe over the baseline of the lined play area on the court. If you walk without dribbling, you will be called for walking and this will result in a turnover. You can't move a foot when you take a charge, pick or screen either, or it's a foul.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Maintain a lower position as you play defense. Staying low gives you a better chance to play the ball and helps you move more quickly. Stay in a defensive stance. If you need to block the opposing team's shot, resume your stance as soon as you can.

| − | [http://trainersone.com/Nike-Air-Force-Ones/ nike air force ones shoes] Dribbling hard helps you protect the ball. This means you get the ball back from your opponent faster. If you are being closely guarded, you should cease dribbling and pass the ball to an open member of your team.
