I am a basketball player who made varsity. I don’t get many minutes and struggle with confidence. Today I got my chance and played and traveled the ball twice passing up wide open shots and I am extremely frustrated. I play for hours everyday and those shots I passed up is something I would shoot no hesitation. It’s really frustrating because I want to play more but I messed up my opportunity. Does anyone have advice on staying calm in a big game and work translating?

What advice would you guys give a junior trying to get minutes on varsity? There are also people who are playing over me who I feel I am better than so it is just frustrating.

Hi, I am a high school player and I struggle with confidence in games. I play basketball 24/7 and do it all the time, when I play pick up I do really good but in practice I play passive, miss shots I normally make and just get out played in ways I shouldn’t because I know I am better than that. Does anyone have any advice on training translating, or do I just need to continue to workout, go to practice and plan pick up and be patient?
