The Top 3 Challenge

We have all seen the amazing feat of someone spinning multiple plates at one time. One, then 3, then 10 porcelain plates spinning around the top of a thin pole. What looks amazing at the time, can quickly become a disaster when the ability to manage all 10 plates becomes impossible. This example points to a common mistake made by players (and sometimes basketball coaches) as they attempt to accomplish the impossible by trying to keep all of their “basketball” plates spinning at once.

Not all basketball skills can be learned & mastered by the average player without some serious commitment to improvement over an extended period of time. Skills must be emphasized day after day through practice and repetition.

So rather than try to "spin" 10 basketball skills at one time, let's concentrate on something a little more manageable, like maybe just three. If I were to ask you, "What are the Top 3 basketball skills that you believe you need to improve on the most?" How would you answer that?

This challenge is about asking you to take a serious look at your game, your insecurities and strengths, and to establish those Top 3 things that you need to get better at. Once you take the challenge and decide to make changes, you are set to make huge strides in your game and become the player you are capable of becoming.
