How to SEPARATE Yourself as a Young Hooper

- What makes one basketball player stand out more than another? I get asked this question all the time, and today, I have some answers. Of course, these are from my own experiences and what I have noticed over my time playing and watching basketball.
My goal for this video was to come up with some unique ways of standing out that might not be so obvious to all you hoopers. I’ve decided to change it up and rank these 8 from least to most important in terms of standing out, although they can all be beneficial in their own ways. Check it out!

Confidence is probably the biggest factor as to if your heads in it
I've learned so much and I've been improving a lot your doing great keep up the work
I'm so glad to hear that!
I didn’t make the basketball team this year so I joined a rec league for basketball and started watching your vids and am doing much better I have been using this and my points boards and steals have all gone up. Thank you

I love how you broke every step down, this is great and thanks for the advice
😁
I got you!
Ur awesome man, I have learned more about basketball from your channel than all of youtube combined. Keep doing what your doing, your gonna blow up soon.
Wow, this is such an incredible compliment! I appreciate you, keep up the great work!
Although its been tough getting skill and improving my game on the two ways of basketball, I've realized a lot with this video, specially my willingness to hustle for rebounds, boxouts and blocks while still playing high level perimeter defense, which I think marks a new era in my playstyle as a wing. Great vid and thanks for the tips
If you have those traits, you are already ahead of the game!
man your tips are so good
thank you
Appreciate it! Glad I could help.
I love the advice on this channel.
I appreciate it.
Subscribed because of the simple, but effective advice. Good job bro
Thank you!
Great video man! Going to be a junior in high school next year and I am going to need to fill the role of the #1 guy. Appreciate the tip, i’ll try to apply them more though out the summer in summer league and camps etc.
Very cool, keep up the great work!
My dad also played at Colgate 96'-99' and we watch your videos every day when I come home from school. We both love the videos and we also think that it is improving me a lot. I am 12 years old and when my dad and I shoot, he says "remember what Richardson said". Thank you so much for these amazing videos. I also really want to see your Finland games!! G🏀 Raiders
Haha that is awesome! Keep working and go 'gate!
So basic yet so effective, I needed this it really helped
But now I gotta make it game tranferable
Been learning a whole lot from your vids bro i want to play in the nba one day and youve been helping🙏
Just keep working!
Your advice are always so good
Just trying to help!
the thing that helped me most about this video is "it's just basketball, have some fun." currently am 12 years old 5'10 220 lbs and on a team and I struggle with pressure and knowing how to actually understand things on the court like press and defence or where am supposed to be at times. Since am a bigger person then my age group I fall into the center or power forward category. But I am a lot better at shooting, step backs, ball handling, and just passing. Your videos have helped me a lot and I appreciate you passing on your advice and information you have gained through all your years of your basketball carrer. I'll keep all these methods in mind when my next practice game arrives or even any game in general.
You should not be putting pressure on yourself at 12 years old to do anything. At that age, it is about finding your love and passion for the game, and working everyday to improve. Seems like you are on the right path!
When you said about the loud voice on court i new exactly what you meant. One play a little while ago i was annoyed that nobodg was moving on offense when i brought the ball up so i shouted out 'MOVE'. One of my mates was guarding me and he nearly fell over laughing cos of how loud i yelled. My teammates did move tho 😂😂😂
I think talking on offense is underrated! Glad your teammates got the message haha
Great video!
Thank you!
One of the best bball channels on Yourube💯💯💯
I appreciate it!
Great vid! It helped a lot. Tomorrow I have a game and I'll try to talk a lot on defense and be supportive.
Thank you! Good luck in your game and keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Thank you, i will try to use this tommorow
Hope it helps out!
One of the the best youtube basketball channels!
Thank you!
Awesome... I've been putting my strong guards in the post when I see a mismatch, just for one play. They first looked at me like I was nuts, but they usually score or draw a foul. I call "PA +name" for Post Advantage. I probably stole from another coach but either way, the Guards love to get a post play called for them. They may get to flex as well... I may roll my eyes but I'm getting old and have to let the kids flex a bit.
Haha, the younger you can get kids to play in the post, the better! I wish I had been posting up in high school, especially at my size. But I just never really learned that skill, which I regret!
Great video. Slept on tips from a real pro. No one else really making videos like this.
Appreciate that!
@@TuckerRichardson got my first pro contract! Happy to say your videos have helped me along my journey. The real work starts now!
Congrats so hype for you!!@@nathandmccarthy
Amazing vid
Appreciate it!
I started watching you a month ago and was averaging 15, yesterday I scored my first 28 point game. Thanks.
Let's go! I'm proud of you, just keep working.
@@TuckerRichardson I will man! 👍
you could make a video on how to organise your team as a point guard and start the offence
Maybe one day!
I just got into special Olympics playing basketball last I played basketball for a team was in 8th grade and it’s been fun to get back into the game of basketball last time I was with a basketball team it was in high school as a sophomore and I was a team manager and my goal has always be a head basketball coach one day
That is awesome! Keep working and maybe one day you will be that coach!
Do you have any videos about coaches you bring your confidence down as a youth baller man?
que buenos videos haces hermano, estaría muy bueno que tengan subtítulos en español así pueden llegar a más gente. son muy valiosos y me ayudan un montón.
Es una buena idea!
man I have a teammate who yells at me when i make a mistake or a turnover even know no one says anything about him when he makes mistakes, it just kills my confidence when i get yelled at for a single turnover. what do you recommend i should do?
I know how you feel
This is such a tough situation. I'm sorry you are dealing with this. One thing you can try doing is to ask your teammate to have a conversation about the issue. I know this can be difficult, but in the long run it will help you and you will learn the skill of having tough conversations. Just tell them where you are coming from, that it is affecting you, and you are trying your best to help the team. Again, I know that conversation might be tough, but you will be better for it in the long run!
@@TuckerRichardsonnah thats pretty bad advice, a conversation isnt going to change shit. This is basketball not school, if he is better than his teammate then he should just tell him to stfu but if he is worse then he got some work to do. And btw the problem is on him, his confidence shouldnt be affected by something like that.
You are probably not that good and dont have repect from your teammates, thats the only reason
It's difficult I had that problem with a coach where even my teammates started to mention it to me, until my teammates mam told me to stop carrying just do me it was difficult but I kept trying to focus on that it took a while but it worked
game day on Monday is gonna be loud now
That's what I like to hear!
Can you do a video about lifting would help me really out
I'll look into this!
It’s really vital to use these videos to the most of your abilities because NBA players now didn’t have this.
Very true, that is what is great about CZcams! You can learn from the experiences of those who came before you.
this woulda ben useful before i missed the team at tryouts earlier 😅
Hopefully there is next year!
ty mans
You're welcome!
Don’t understand how this channel isn’t big yet
Patience....
Thanks
I got you!
I'm a young short pg but am very skilled. can you make a video about tips for short pgs?
Maybe will look into this!
man just don't forget that Im here from the beginning
I won't!
Bros turning me into a goat thx tucker
I hope so! You're welcome.
I’m in 7th grade and I’ve been playing well in my games and am the leading scorer in most of my games but we usually lose and if I don’t get a really high scoring game we always lose so what should I do to change that and win more games and not have empty stats
At your age, it isn't all about winning, it is about you improving and understanding what it takes to win. Keep doing what you are doing!
I am a 4 in 6th grade who is a very good ball handler (almost as good as our pg) but only a few of the coaches I have had in AAU or school, have noticed this. How do I get them to notice my skill more?
Just keep working, you are still so young. You have so much time to keep improving and prove to everyone how good you are!
on my team all the point guards are all ball dominant and will not pass. I get open, and talked to them about it but i never get the ball. what do i do?
I don't have much of an answer to be honest, this is a hard thing to deal with. I will say, there are ways to get the ball in your hands that don't have to do with your teammates. You could get a rebound and dribble it up the floor. You could get a steal and go score on the fast break, or fly in for an offensive rebound and get a bucket. Sometimes you have to create your own opportunities.
I'm a young player and I can't even score while my teamates are averaging 30... My coach tells me to go get rebounds even though i'm not that tall. I also struggle with confidance so I pass the ball as soon as I get it
Sounds like you need to keep working on your game. A lot of times, confidence comes from the work you put in!
@@TuckerRichardson well i'm shy and can score against my teamates easily but it seems like I just started playing once I get on the court
I thought it was flourescent pink shoes or one leg womens stocking!
Hey, that can work too!
at list 20k players will be talking on the courts from today!
Man, I hope so!
Hi man I am a young hooper in a new team and I only have one friend I’ve been watching you for a while but I don’t have the confidence and I don’t get the ball a lot can you help me pls
Confidence comes from the work you put in. Keep working everyday to improve, and your teammates will eventually have to take you seriously. However, that is going to be a process, and certainly won't happen overnight.
Is it better to have good form but less range, or bad form but more range?
I personally have decent form with a high to mid set point but less range than my peers. Although their form isn't as good as mine, they have a lot more range.
I'm am aged 13.
I'm not sure what you mean by bad form. If your shot is going in consistently, then that is a good thing. Especially if you can make shots from 3. For instance, I barely shoot any mid range shots, but take a ton of 3s. So each player is going to be different, but I personally value 3 point shooting the most.
Thanks for the tip. By bad form, I mean shooting the ball with no backspin, elbows tucked out, thumb flick and shooting with 2 hands.
Okay then yeah, that probably won't be good in the long run. It is hard to be a consistent shooter if your shot has those traits...@@bardiamahvebeydokhti847
How do you catch and shoot as a point guard
You probably won’t get as many opportunities, but you have to take advantage of them when they come!
Is it better to take risks as a basketball player or do the safe thing as a basketball player?
I think it depends, but for the most part I think younger players should take more risks as opposed to playing it safe. That is the only way to really learn what you can do!
@@TuckerRichardson Another question, is it better to practice my weaknesses or improve my strengths?
What do you predict basketball will look like in 10,20 and 30 years? would like to hear your thoughts.
Such an interesting question. I think the game continues to develop in new ways, almost every couple of years it seems like now. One thing I can predict almost for sure is that positionless basketball is going to continue to become more and more common. Most players are going to need skills like shooting, dribbling and passing to succeed. But in 30 years?? I have no idea haha. What do you think?
@@TuckerRichardson I think that it will become more pointless in the next 10 years but over the long run things like hand checking might return; a big complaint fans have is that defense is too soft. So in 20 years it could go back to having roles. In 30 years we might get expansion of NBA into Mexico or Europe perhaps.
Mid-majors might die due to NIL and transfer portal. Top programs of smaller conferences like Drake, Vermont, Dayton, VCU; Gonzaga Saint Mary's might leave their conferences for money. Clubs may become big in the US and it could dethrone the monopoly college has on amateur to NBA pipeline. But yeah centers having to shoot threes will exist forever because it opens up your playbook exponentially.
Those are actually some really interesting ones. I'm worried about how NIL is going to affect college basketball but I do think it might settle down a little bit so that kids aren't flying from program to program quite as much as they are now. And yeah expansion of the NBA seems inevitable. @@811see
Awesome content as always! Seriously hoping you blow up soon! To further add datapoints to your number 1 tip, here is Isaiah Thomas being asked what he would do differently training as a young hooper and he said taking care of your body and focusing on shooting and how important it is: czcams.com/video/Cj5FDcnMaes/video.html
Whoa, such a great find! "I feel like that is the most important weapon you can have." I 100% agree with Isaiah. Shooting can separate an average player from a great player. And like he said, it is all about getting reps in.
Bro is turning me into chef Curry
Also I’m 5’6 at 13 is that good
Haha I see you! You are still young, so will continue to grow. The important thing is that you continue to work on your game!
What do you mean by talk on defense for an entire posession? Wouldn't you just be talking uneccesarily?
No, you would be helping your teammates. I know some high school possessions can last like 5 minutes with no shot clock haha. I just mean consistently communicating about screens, cuts, help defense, when a shot goes up, where to force a player, etc.
Ok thanks for the help.
wouldn't it be annoying if i talk loudly while being the worst player on the court?
It really doesn’t matter how “good” you are because talking helps your teammates play better as well.
I heard Tucker Richardson never pins a comment
8 th try
