Luka is the best representation of this. Many would think he's just slow and unathletic but if you look closer, those athletic players can't guard him

The calmer you are the more relaxed your muscles and brain are, which in turn let you flow with ease. In other words : Flow > Form

This video came out at the perfect time for me. I was just telling someone that I am very reactive when I play and I need to learn how to calm down and analyze when I’m in the middle of a game as opposed to just reacting to what’s happening. Great stuff!

PRAY BEFORE YOUR GAMES TO CALL YOUR NERVES!!!! JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

Its the things outside of being on the court that allows your Nervous system to relax , this goes for thing as just waking up being true to yourself , getting rid of toxic friends/habits , positve thoughts / self talk , good sleep eating good , meditation , cold showers no fap / semen retention etc etc its more than hooping 💯.

It's not crazy that a lot of people don't know how to dribble calmly under pressure. A lot of coaches don't focus on dribbling and the ones that do simply focus on teaching the point guards especially at a young age. When I was growing up even though I should have been learning how to play PG since I could jump my coaches made me play PF or C even though I was nearly tall enough. I only grew to be 5'10 so my coaches failed me. I believe all players no matter how tall should learn how to handle the ball like a PG.

Shai G and Cade are two of the most under control guys I’ve ever seen, like I feel like a spazz when I watch them play, you’re not going to speed them up at any rate

being calm is important for literally every aspect in life, fighting, firefighting, leadership, music, instruments, speaking, art, sports. everything… to be sober minded in chaos… confidence.. its scary powerful n fun at the same time lol

1. Play calm stay relaxed slow down even for one dribble do quick changes of speed short relaxtion and back to the speed 2. Best ball handlers stay relaxed dont stay out of control 3. Players get out of control when they get pressured so stay calm 4. Have control of the ball while you move slow 3:15 go fast then slow move between speeds 3:40 4:20

I apply this Method to your life as well.. learn to breathe n just sit still while breathing this will help you calm down your own nervous system, mind and body

I’ve been really struggling with playing calm during my AAU season and this has affected my playing time and my mindset. I will definitely implement these techniques into my game.

This is one of the hardest mentality shifts for players to a certain degree, especially players who like to play with intensity or want limitless creative freedom. In soccer, there’s a big part of the culture of the game that discusses creativity as some kind of ineffable, uncoachable spark that exists and should not be touched, as if it was bestowed by the divine and thus cannot be interfered with by an arrogant human. I don’t think people realise that being a competitor and choosing to do what you can to win means being aware of what you’re doing at all times on the floor/field. At the very least, when you fuck up and commit and error, you’ll have a better idea of what it was. Plus you’ll play better. And I think there are levels to this. Dennis Rodman used to count the number of rotations on his teammates jump shots to better predict and react to where the rebound would end up. He was mentally locked in and calm, even while doing a high energy job. That’s something that I think people underrate about top level high intensity athletes, performing at high intensity with internal composure and clarity. People see the external behaviours and can’t see the internal process, and this the behaviours are the important part without knowing where they come from. Missing the forest for the trees type stuff.

most of the buckets in the league all play at they own pace this was needed 💯

Sir your channel is the one, stuff like this is really nuanced for any level of basketball. Appreciate the content ❤️

Breathe into your own rhythm, control the tempo and keep them on their toes 💯

That’s that ultimate ball handling music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great message!! Focus and being poise is key!!

Ohh ok. Now this I never realized until this video. Makes perfect sense. Now I will be practicing this. Thank you.

Been swimming lately and it definitely help smooth my game out when you’re swimming you can’t force nothing everything smooth and in rhythm.
