3 Mistakes Most Player Make

If you don't already subscribe to our training newsletter, you should sign up now. Not only will you get a free Special Report on how to improve as a scorer, but you'll get our latest article about the 3 biggest mistakes players make going into the off-season.

Click the following link to go to our home page and sign up for our free training newsletter: Basketball Tips .

So what are the 3 biggest mistakes? First, not using the past season to evaluate strenghts and weaknesses. There's no better tool for making you a better player than true and honest self-evaluation.

Second, develop a detailed plan on how you will approach your off-season training. If you don't have a plan, it won't happen. Period. And it's not enough to say to yourself: "Oh, I know what I need to do...I have a plan in my head."

You need to sit down and write out what you plan to work on, how you plan to do it, and when you'll do it. If it's not written down, it's only a thought, not a plan.

And the 3rd mistake players make? Well, you'll just have to subscribe to our newsletter to find out!

So I was Wrong...

Oh well, so much for my thoughts on who would win the NCAA tournament.

Florida really showed a ton of talent winning it all again. You've got to hand it to them. Winning back-to-back championships is amazing...really amazing.

The one thing that really stuck out in my mind about the Gators was their athleticism, and how the team really fit together like puzzle pieces. They had an inside game, they had an outside game, they had great 3-point shooters, they had scorers, and they pouned the boards.

But above all, they kept getting after it. They played hard. They never gave up. And they really stepped up to the challenge.

While I would have rather seen a California team win it all (I am a California native after all), my hat is off to Florida.
