During a recent team practice, I noticed a basketball of things going on. Kids were running around the gym. Kids were dribbling and shooting the basketball on the opposite end of the court from the practicing team. Parents were talking to one another. You get the point. There was too much going on for this to be a team practice.
Sometimes during team practice time there will be distractions. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of practice whether there are distractions or not.
Pay attention.
To make sure you are getting the most out of practice make sure you pay attention. Pay attention when you are on the court going through the drills or plays. And basketball pay attention when you are not on the court. If you have team mates that's talking about a subject unrelated to the practice, move away from the player or players. Make sure you are in a position and area to pay attention and focus on what is going on.
Stand Up.
Basketball is a physical sport and you will extend a lot of energy and get tired. However, when you are not participating in the drill or you are on the sideline. Remain standing. By standing, you do not allow yourself to relax to the point were you are not attentive with what is going on in practice.
Ask Questions.
If you do not understand a drill or play, please ask questions. I watched a young lady in a practice do the same play over and over and over again, INCORRECTLY. I stopped the play and asked the young lady if she understood what was going on. She paused before she finally said she did not understand. There is nothing wrong with not understanding. Ask questions and ask your coach for clarification about what to do.
