“He’s a shooter.” “He’s a lockdown defender.” “He’s the playmaker.” You hear these labels all the time in basketball. Those players have found their roles, embraced them, and made them part of their identity. So how do YOU find your role? 1️⃣ Recognize what you’re good at. If your coaches constantly tell you that you’re a great shooter, defender, rebounder, or passer, pay attention! They’re giving you clues about where you can make the biggest impact. 2️⃣ Ask your coach. If you aren’t sure, have a conversation with your coach. Ask what they need from you and what they believe your biggest strengths are. Then go to work on those areas. Don’t just be good at your role. Become ELITE at it. 3️⃣ Find a need and fill it. If you and your coach still aren’t sure, look at your team. Struggling to defend? Become a lockdown defender. Need someone who can knock down shots? Become a reliable shooter. Need energy, rebounding, or someone willing to do the dirty work? Make that your specialty. For me, it was defense. I was long, lanky, and quick, which allowed me to guard a lot of different players. I embraced that role, made it part of my identity, and earned more playing time and opportunities because of it. Remember, you don’t have to be the leading scorer to be a valuable player. Coaches notice the guys who understand what their team needs and consistently deliver it. Find your role. Know your role. EXCEL in your role. 💯 Trainer: @Logan Hinton, a former 5 year pro across three countries. Train Like a Pro!

Stop going to the gym just to get shots up. Have a PLAN. 🎯 If you want to become a better basketball player, you need to make your workouts count. Here’s a simple workout structure you can follow every time you step into the gym. 1️⃣ Stretch & Warm Up Take care of your body first. Get loose, warm up, and prepare yourself to work. Staying healthy is part of getting better! 2️⃣ Form Shooting Start close to the basket and focus on your mechanics. Build good habits before you start shooting from deep. 3️⃣ Ball-Handling Work on 1-ball and 2-ball drills, game moves, and changing speeds. Don’t just go through the motions. Handle the ball with a purpose and at game speed! 4️⃣ Shooting Routine 🎯 Have a plan that includes short, midrange, and long-range shots. * Short on time? Get 100 makes. * Have an hour? Aim for 250 makes. * Have a longer workout? Go for 500 makes. Make shots from different spots and work on shots you’ll actually take in games. Focus on MAKES, not just attempts! 5️⃣ Attack Your Weakness 💪 Pick ONE skill you really want to improve. Ball-handling, finishing, defense, lateral movement, footwork—whatever it is, dedicate 20–30 minutes to getting better at it. You don’t have to improve everything in one day. Get a little better at something every day. 6️⃣ Finish With Free Throws 🏀 End your workout by making 10 free throws. Practice shooting when you’re tired, and learn to finish your workout the right way. Remember: You don’t need a complicated workout to get better. You need a plan, a purpose, and the discipline to stick to it. Don’t just go to the gym. GO TO WORK. 🔥 Save this workout and use it the next time you hit the gym!

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. 📝🏀 Trainer: @Logan Hinton, a former 5 year pro across three countries.
