If you’re serious about getting better, stop guessing and start tracking.
You don’t need an expensive app or fancy equipment. Go to Walmart or the dollar store, grab a notepad and a pen, and start keeping track of your work.
✍️ Track your makes. How many shots are you actually making? What’s your percentage? Are you getting better from the spots you need to score from?
💪 Track your workouts. What did you work on? How many shots did you take? What moves are you developing? What do you need to improve next time?
🏆 Track your wins. Did you hit a new personal record? Finally master that move? Improve your shooting percentage? Write it down. Give yourself credit for your progress.
🎯 Track your opportunities. What went well in your games? What did you struggle with? What opportunities do you need to take advantage of? Use every game as a chance to learn.
And don’t just track everything randomly. BE SPECIFIC. If you’re working on your pull-up jumper, track your makes and attempts from different spots. If you’re developing your left hand, track how often you use it and how effective you are.
Because here’s the truth: If you aren’t tracking your progress, how do you know you’re improving?
Too many high school players show up to the gym, get shots up, and leave without ever knowing whether their work is paying off. They repeat the same workouts without measuring their progress and wonder why they aren’t seeing results.
Don’t be that player.
The numbers don’t lie. They show you what you’re good at, what needs work, and whether you’re actually getting better. They also give you something concrete to show a coach when you want to prove how much work you’ve put in.
Remember, you’re not just working out to say you worked out. You’re working out to get better.
TRACK YOUR WORK. MEASURE YOUR PROGRESS. HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE.
Don’t let all that hard work go to waste. Make sure it’s working.
TRACK IT. 📝🏀
