In this post I will be discussing a little bit about why it is necessary to develop the skills needed in basketball and in life and why it is important to start early. Becoming a good basketball player or even a decent basketball player requires a lot of hard work. A lot of hours spent in the gym working on the little parts of the game or what we like to call the "fundamentals" of basketball. These fundamentals include passing, shooting, dribbling, rebounding, and defending. Not everyone is born with freakish athleticism, but everyone can develop the fundamentals of the game. I myself was not born with height or any god given athleticism, but what I was taught growing up was that being able to do these other things that are crucial in each and every game, I would give myself the best chance in succeeding at the game and it has gotten me to where I am today. Not only is it important to work on the fundamentals, but it is crucial to start early. The earlier you can start to perfect these, the more ahead you are going to be of everyone else developing their basketball skills. Learning how to put in those hours of work every day to get better also helps in life as well. You learn what its like to have that incredible work ethic and you will see the benefits that come from all your hard work. If you can have a work ethic in basketball and have the ability to transfer that work ethic over to a job or to family life, then you will see the results from that.
