This used to be my son. He used to be happy riding the bench. Because he would get so nervous in the games. He would never dribble the ball or shoot. And when he got the ball, smaller defenders would always steal it. He would never talk on the court. And he would hide in the corner watching everyone else do all the work 🤦🏾♀️. I used to question his love for the game.
This is what helped him. We would talk about what he did well in the game and what areas he needed improvement. It was hard at first because he didn't like to hear what he did wrong, and he would blame everyone else. But I know he knew he needed work because he would be at the park every day putting in work. And he started lifting weights to get stronger.
And that leads to what also helped. He would go to the park every day and practice. Then, he would go to the community center on the weekends and play with people older than him.
He started watching a lot of YouTube and tik tok videos. He watches his game film, nba game film, and college game film. He reads books about basketball and listens to videos on how to improve his confidence.
And I would tell him everyday don't worry about being the best on the court. Just focus on being the most improved and have fun. I send him motivational quotes and tell him everyday how proud I am of him.
He wrote down all his goals and posted them on his wall. And he doesnt say "My goal is to go to college." He says, "I will go to college." And anytime I hear him say he can't do something. I tell him you are right. If you believe you "can't" do something than you are right. But if you believe you "can" do something you are right as well. Its about changing your mindset.
Now he thinks he is the G.O.A.T 🤭. His confidence has improved and his game has gotten so much better. Now he's out there averaging 15 points and 18 rebounds as a 9th grade center. He truly does love the game 🏀💙💯🙏🏾

As a mid i was literally FROZEN. Could do nothing in a match. But tbf my coach was a psyco he was very strong with reactions and i think he ruined me. The only place i always felt free was the playground
