You will get bumped. You will get fouled. You will get hit. You will have to shoot off balance. These are all normal. Playing through it is key. Footwork, a good center of gravity, balance and a strong core are key. When you step, how you step and the angle you take matters. Staying low until exploding up for your shot is vital. Being able to stay balanced on each foot is a major plus. A strong core makes it harder to bump you off your line. Let’s get better and keep leveling up. Add anything below and feel free to ask questions!

Keeping up the mentality posts while I work on my next basketball project for you guys. A lot of people say they want more. A lot of people try for a while then quit. They get busy or times get hard, so they stop. That’s when the growth happens. A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. You only lose when you quit, stay in the race! It’s not you vs anybody else. It’s you vs you every single day. Just get 1% better each day, do your best, and never give up. EVER! - Hinton Hoops

Closed mouths don’t get fed = Selfish players don’t win games. Team work is the most crucial part of basketball. Feed the hot hand, make the extra pass, find the open man, etc… Work on and off the court with your teammates, build chemistry, and most importantly trust each other. Passing is always faster than dribbling. It’s the quickest and easiest way to score. Move, cut, and find the open man. Rinse and repeat. It’s so simple yet so effective. Be a team player. Be a winner.

Good Evening Hoopers, We are currently sitting at 45 members. Over the past month, only 7/45 have been active. Over the past week, only 4/45 have been active. We haven’t gained any new members in 3+ weeks. I love hoops, I love teaching and helping you guys develop, and I want to keep on going. BUT… as much work as I’m putting in and as much time as it takes, I’m not reaching nearly as many people as I was. So I’m asking you guys for help. I’m also emailing this post to each and every one of you. If you’re done on Skool, please let me know. If you’re busy or don’t have time, let me know. If you want to see new content, request it, or let me know. Also send the groups to 3-5 friends that you think it could help. Thank You!

Stop getting your layups blocked. Protect the ball. Use your body. Inside hand = safer finish. 🔥 25 makes. Be smart. #HintonHoops #ZeroToHooper
