Player Check-In: Are You Actually Getting Better?
Hey hoopers, Quote of the day: âTalent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.â â Michael Jordan Real question for you: How do YOU know if youâre actually improving? Most hoopers think effort = progress⌠but it doesnât. A lot of players work hard but stay in the same exact spot because they never track anything. Hereâs how to really know if youâre leveling up: Are you making fewer mistakes in games? Not just scoring more, but turning it over less, fouling less, forcing fewer bad shots, and making smarter reads. Thatâs what coaches notice. Are you earning more minutes or a bigger role? Coaches play the people they trust. If youâre getting more PT or being used in key moments, thatâs a clear sign youâre improving. Can you do things now that you couldnât do 2 months ago? Handle pressure better? Finish with your weak hand? Guard faster players? Hit shots you used to miss? If youâre checking boxes here, thatâs progress. Hereâs the truth: Improvement isnât about working harder â itâs about whether the work is changing your game. If you're putting in hours but still making the same mistakes⌠youâre practicing the wrong things. So hereâs what you should track each week: - Shooting % - Turnovers - Defensive stops - 2â3 specific skills you want to improve If your numbers are going up, youâre headed in the right direction. If not, itâs time to fix what youâre working on. Progress happens when you measure it. If you want help reducing turnovers, improving your shot, and will actually put in the work daily, you are ready for phase 2. Upgrade here: https://www.skool.com/hoopsacademy/plans â Tyler P.S.
