Description

What do I do if Iʼm small?
 
My shot is always getting blocked...
 
Iʼm nervous about driving because the defenders are bigger...
 

 
First a disclaimer for all small players: your size is not an excuse in this game. If you suck as a player, no one cares that youʼre small, all they will know is that you suck. The goal in basketball is 10 feet high; naturally taller people have an advantage because they start off closer to that goal. And you know that before you even decide to play basketball. Once you lace up a pair of sneakers and step between those four lines, you are a player -- one who can play or one who cannot. I know tall players who canʼt play and I know smaller players who can ball. If youʼre going to be a basketball player, make your size and advantage and a resource to be utilized rather than an excuse or obstacle.
 
This program is a series of drills and skills that an undersized player can use to be more effective on the floor in games. Creating space and scoring opportunities for yourself, and converting those situations to baskets (for passing, see the Passing Program).
 
While going through this program, it is very important to remember that the moves and drills you go through in practicing are not, necessarily, the moves youʼll do in the games. Understand what a drill is: a skill executed repeatedly, to be ingrained into your muscle memory. The purpose of doing basketball drills is so your body memorizes the movement, which then can be called upon instinctively and unconsciously when needed. You are not consciously memorizing these moves for doing versus a defender. In a live game, things happen too fast for any human being to think of how to react -- by the time the thought comes to you, the moment to do what you thought of has passed. And with the endless possibilities and situations in the game of basketball, memorizing moves is not a viable strategy; every single play is a unique situation. What you want to be able to do in games is to react without thinking: whatever happens, you react instinctively and decisively. This ability is developed through two combined methods: skill practice and game experience. You have taken a proactive step in the skill practice area by getting this program; go to work. Then go use these skills in games to fine-tune your reactive, instinctive abilities.
