Basketball Essentials

Do you have an interest in the game of basketball and want to learn how to stop sucking and start dominating?

Basketball is a simple enough sport to pick up but it is very difficult to master. There are various rules, regulations, techniques, moves, and skills that must be combined. It can be a confusing and frustrating experience to even get started (trust me I know).

So let me ask you: What is your plan for learning and mastering the game of basketball? Would you watch NBA games? NCAA games? Would you just try to learn it on your own?

Has your strategy worked well in the past? Let me warn you that a lack of basketball fundamentals could prevent you from successfully using the more advanced techniques featured at the professional level. 

The fundamentals of basketball are like the foundation of a building. You can’t build a good structure without a solid foundation or you’re asking for trouble in the future. That is what this book will about. It will provide a solid foundation for which to build a basketball career. 

Trying to move too fast too soon may result in slower progression over time. Remember, even Michael Jordan practiced the fundamentals. Every practice Michael Jordan would work on his bounce passes, ball-handling, and shooting. Even the greatest player ever needed to work on the fundamentals of basketball. This book lays those fundamentals out in a easy to follow, step-by-step guide.

Now I want you to think about your current situation for a moment. You have an interest in basketball but you may not be sure of what to do. I want you to think about how that makes you feel. Do you feel confused or overwhelmed? I know I would in such a situation. There is just so much to learn and so many learning options to choose from. There may also be an urge to try too many things at once.

Now let me ask you: Are you satisfied with a situation like this? A situation that causes you to feel overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated. If not, then I want you make a choice. You can either continue looking for another solution to your problem or you can take a journey with Basketball Essentials. 

This book will provide the reader with a solid foundation of basketball, drills to improve skills, advanced techniques, basketball terminology, and more. When it’s finished, basketball will no longer feel overwhelming or confusing. The feelings will become things of the past. The choice is now yours. Will you take the journey?

Now is the best time to invest in the future. The sooner your basketball skills are able to improve, the more time you will have to enjoy the game. However, the longer that improvement is delayed, the more difficult it will be to keep up with your peers.

This is what I want for you:

• Increased confidence and basketball skill
  
• Ability to make the cut of any team
  
• Ability to be above average
  
• The potential to earn a basketball scholarship
  
• A sense of pride that stems from one’s own abilities
