    Jon’s answer:

    It's hard to know Harpz, know one knows but God. Doctors say that whatever height you were around 2-3 years old can be doubled for your adult height. Were you really tall then?

    Jon’s answer:

    Just remember that going to school and playing hoops go together. Everyone won't be in the NBA, but if that's your goal, go for it! You have to be willing to sacrifice time and other interests that become energy thieves. Keep your family and friends an... Continue reading »

    Jessica Smith asked:

    ......

    Jon’s answer:

    You can't make a shot unless you take one. Keep shooting. Take a ball out to the hoop often and shoot for an hour or so. You will get better and better. Copy good shooters form and shots. Dribbling is hard to do for most kids, but you can learn to drib... Continue reading »

    1. You should start out taking shots from 2 - 3 feet from the basket. After taking 15 or 20 shots and making at least half of them move to another spot from the same distance. Continue this until you are making almost every shot. Whean you have made at least 50 shots move back two feet and do the same. As you make more and more you will see that it is becoming automatic - keep doing this every day. Take at least 500 shots a day and always shoot exactly the same way every time. No one makes every shot and the best scorers take a lot of shots and miss a lot but they don't lack the confidence to take that shot.

      Repetition is key and you must take shots in games. Don't worry if you miss - that's why they have rebounders. So many players make a career on getting rebounds so don't be bashful or worry about missing - take the shot and keep shooting. As for dribbling - there are several drills on WePlay which you can use. Practice, practice, practice!

      You have to love the game.
