Most players don't have productive workouts by themselves and because of, they see very little improvement. This video will give you a clear blueprint to working out by yourself as a basketball player.

Thanks bro
Even tho I’m out the game, that first tip is a gem, especially knowing what I know now. High consistency in focusing on problem areas is definitely a cheat code, wish I even knew that was an option back then lol I’d just emphasize certain things during workouts but it’d be more effective to have most of the workout centered around just those two things
Appreciate it 💪🏼
Im training outside everydays, but sometimes that's hurt. Because when I miss a shot, the ball goes like 1km away from the court and when is hot weather and I most go from ball running that's make me humble 😂
Very good summary of thinking out of the box improvement for every basketball lovers
Can you make by yourself training videos outside please because I am a freshman hooper ans I can't afford to go to the gym or any fancy equipment so I always take my ball outside in the rain or winter but it's hard to train outside so can you please make outside training videos
you can do all these workouts outside!! as long as you got a hoop you are good to go
Actually the thing about outdoor court is if we miss we have to run 1 km to get the ball and then shoot again😂
@@gonthestoneageboy have this problem everyday but I like when it does that cause it makes you hustle😂😂
man stay hungry bro put in real work don’t lose your passion dawg fr
@@gonthestoneageboy exactly but i take my lil bro for picking rebounds
Im going to start training like this, really helpful keep the content up man
Glad the video can help 💪🏼
Thank you coach💪🏿🔥
Thanks for the tips.
I love your teachings!
I know this will greatly improve my game, thanks for all the advice and tips
Thank you!
This is a great topic and often overlooked! I’d add trying to make the workout the most efficient possible. This would include have your workout planned before you go to the court. This will hopefully prevent dilly-dallying trying to decide what skill to work on. Also giving structure and focus. In respect to pushing oneself, utilizing your mind to imagine a defender can help you push yourself to speeds and discomfort that can mimic the intensity of a game.

Thank you!
New subscriber, Coach!
Thx alot
So your saying If I’m doing free throws and I’m getting 3/10 everytime, I should just keep doing more?
thanks this helped a lot
Dang good stuff man… I am doing this now and it’s just great dude
Thank you !
Great vid and great facts
Thank you
Watching these vids while on a bad injury, looking forward to putting this into practice soon!
You’ll be back soon💪🏼
Yo this was helpful thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot❤
Fire content bro! 🔥💎
thank you !
those hook layups i see you doing are the ones i need to work on
Can't believe I found this content unitll now. Pure gold❤
Glad you enjoy it 💪🏼
Also when you wanna train by yourself and you play around an 1hr make sure that the 30minutes of it is something new. Because when you play pickup you always encounter something new that you can add to your game it may be a small thing but it can be handy when needed. So when you play by yourself its just your thoughts but when your with someone both of you have different approach to the game and you can learn from them and add it to your bag. So when you play by yourself try doing something different or something out of the box or out of your comfort zones, cuz in real games its very hard to get to your own pace and comfort because sometimes the defense controls you intsead of vice versa. Or vice versa when ur the one playing D
Thanks for video. I am 48 and train myself 99% of time. Most important, in my view, for solo leveling(!) Is 'game speed'. It is of course not only for training alone but easy to forget when exercising self.
Thank you my dear brother. I really appreciate it. I love your video.
Thank you
help you bro good vid!!!
you're not alone , you have the cameraman
Yo this was pretty helpful thanks. Also in my case I'm mostly working in or around the post, since I'm our team's 6'5" Center. I can get the modt out of myself in the paint and on rebounds so I focus on doing finishes where I actively finish in the paint, with different variations, like a fake into a step through etc. Should I also try stepping out into a fadeaway for example? Or keep on adding stuff to make the most out of paint game. I usually have the defense dummy available when working out and it really helps a lot
I would definitely start to add stuff such as the fade to your game in the post idk how old you are but keep getting better at what you are good at and expanding your game at the same time
@@tjltraining thanks, I'll add more of that too. I'm also doing mid range shooting but I rarely get into a position where a shot is the better option than getting points through the paint. I'm 19, still tryna go pro if possible. I'm in Europe and I'm catching up with ppl who play semi pro for now so I believe if I work really hard and get into contact with good coaches I could still make it
Definitely continue to expand your game, at 6’5 in higher leagues you’ll be more the 3/4 position so being able to at least catch and attack from the 3 will help and add a little handle will be helpful, keep grinding bro💪🏼
@@tjltraining okay thank you my guy, I could definitely improve my handles and driving too. I started out with bball a bit late, 3 yrs ago, so it's mostly about making fundamentals better and since I play 5 I'm focusing on that the most.
In the paint I mostly work on reps of hooks, drop steps and fake into step thrus, then add a dummy and do variations at higher speeds plus counter moves to know how to react. I make reps until I make 6 in a row then move on, finish off with Mikans and FTs. So after that I could add drive variations from the 3 plus some mid range shots and keep at it. Based on how much time I'll have for the workout I could focus on one or the other more for the day. Off season is coming soon so imma try to get the most out of it
@@oliverdiop7530 can you shoot
I was implementing these stuff before i even watched this video subconsciously but i have a better understanding now thanks
That is great to hear
this reeled helped, thanks
💯
Today i spent 3 hours just focusing on my shooting, rarely did layups or floaters but watched a video of shooting and focused on consistency and perfection everytime, i can say, after going in 100 degree weather grinding for hours, i did improve my shooting
Good work🔥🔥💪🏼
working on my handles rn
Right side development and handling defensive pressure, thats what I need to work on the most. I'm open to suggestions.
This is really helpful. I'm really thinking about playing basketball. I heard that playing sports is really good for your mind and body.
aint no doubt about it!!
Great
Realest basketball video i have watched in a long time
💪🏼💪🏼
I always END MY workouts with a made 3 a FT a layup and then backwards. So I have to make 6 shots. If I miss but get my rebound before it hits the floor I can go back to that missed shot…
absolute fire vid, but i was wondering how long period of time i should work on a certain skill for, and then work on another skill I need to work on. Thank you bro
Once it’s mastered, have 2-3 primary focuses and work on those relentlessly for a long period of time
thanks
Yessir
fire
Thank you 🔥💪🏼
I’m confident on my handles and I’m working on my shooting and finishing
Keep working.
@@tjltraining will do💯
If I am only working on 2 skills for a long peroid of time it will get me better with those 2 skills I picked but what about my other skills wouldn't I start to get worse at my other skills becuase I am not practicing them because I am only working on those 2 specific skills?
Yo coach I’m a 6’3 150 lb guard and trying out for my local cc basketball team in 6 months, after not playing competitively for 2 years. I feel my weakness is my size and strength so I started hitting the gym with a 4 day upper lower/core split. Is this a good plan/schedule you’ll recommend, also would I be able to do these drills during rest days ? Or is that overkill to my body ?
would highly reccomend checking out my off-season webinar which explains exactly how to balance the two. But I would have one full off day per week, 4 days lifting is solid and skill 5-6 days a week. make sure you ramp up on dont go from not doing much to going hard right away.
Make sure your doing things like push-ups and chin ups for your upper body and for lower body do squats and pin squats and jumps like broad jumps and vertical approach jumps to keep and build athleticism. Make sure to get your rest and eat as much and possibly if you truly want to gain strength and weight!
What you need to do is constantly be full, eat a ton of food
DONT overtrain ik how it is the grind is calling but try to go quality over quantity qith your workouts.
on the 1-2 skill focusing, i feel like i will underdevelop my other skills so im not sure what to do
Very helpful but could you make a skills list and drills for you to run for massive improvement
got a summer transformation course which does exactly that!
Good day Sir
Please I need your help
Am a 5 footer and I get discrimination when ever I try to play basketball but I truly love the game
I have been doing research to try to improve my self but i get discouraged because my hands can't even reach the rim
I need your advice
Am just 17 by June 19th this year
Can I really play the game??
If I can how can I do so if am not even able to touch the rim😢😢
ok I got it
Do I have to change drill every now and then? Or can I stay with a same format for a couple of months but challenging with how many shots can I get out of 10?
Yeah I wouldn’t do the same format for a couple of months would change it up
Is dunking and shooting a good combo?
so for example there's so many things I wanna work on, for example my shooting, passes, and ball handling.
But I since I'm a center (I'm 5'10) I want to concetrate in post moves,should I just practice exactly only 1 move,or should I practice only post moves in general?
Also I really wanna get better for this basketball program that's comming up which will open doors for me to be able to get into england's u16. What should I do mainly?
Thank u so much for your time ^^
I would work on your guard skills at 5’10 you be a center for long
What should I do next to improve my game even further? I played for rec this year and I'm 14, about to be in HS I wanna make JV, but my best bet is prob freshman maybe JV. I have a great shot, like Varisty level kinda shot, I have okay finishing, not the best tho, and I have terrible handles like really bad, what should I do next to improve my game
check out my "off season webinar" that will help give you a game plan to level up this off-season. best 50 you could spend
You should work on your handles then. If you have a bad finish go to other videos and look up solo finishing drills
Love working out alone. You gotta add 7 spots drill. 7 spots all own rebounds, must make all 7 in under 1 minute and repeat. 21 shots made in under 3 minutes elite, 70 shots made in under 10 minutes than your me. Haha
dude you're as fast as Speedy Gonzales
What basketball were you using
i have terrible fundamentals, dribbling, shooting, finishing, and etc. if i do a drill at full power and start to be consistent, that’s when i need to change it up to get out of this “comfort zone”? i need to change it up constantly right?
yes!
So say I chose to dial in on ball handling and finishing. If I’m primarily focused in on those 2 things when would I start to improve in on the other skills ( Shooting and Passing).
if ball handling and finishing are the focuses, that should be 80% of the work that you do, shooting and passing can be the other 20%
But if im 14 yo 190 cm and also built something like zion(104 kg) and im good in the paint, should i train my shooting too? And when to work on paint and finishing and when to work on shooting? Or should i do half a week shooting and the other half for finishing and paint?
What are you best at? Do what you struggle with a little more often than what your strong in so if your a knockdown 3pt shooter try to expand your game by working on your finishing so you can get more open shots because people are afraid of your drive
You could focus on your game in the things that you're actually using but you have to know that if you get better in other aspects of your game, you're increasing your chances to be a more all around player, I don't mean like you have to work your handles like Kyrie, but if you can shoot and create space to shoot or go to the basket you're increasing the possibilities to get more points.
And, you can focus on workouts for pivots and end the workout with an easy shooting session (it doesn't have to be too much complicated), what you want is to develop, and an easy shooting drills will help you to work on it at the same time you're working on your strengths
If you need help training by yourself then your not trying hard enough to improve ur game. If u actually wanted to improve ur game, u will start thinking about what you are lacking and u start trying to train it.
For shooting, what is an optimal "range" of make % to be considered sufficiently challenging? I think we can agree that if you're shooting 80% on spot-up 3s, you can probably move onto dribble or off-the-catch variations. I think we can also agree that if you're shooting 10% on spot-ups, moving into other variations probably isn't going to be improving your overall shot-making ability. Off and on days are normal, but what's the threshold you would say it's acceptable to move on to try a harder variation?
everyone is a different level shooter so Is no one certain percentage, each player will be different, like you said if someone is making 8/10 for a drill is probably too easy, each player can handle different levels of difficulty while still keeping motivation, just constantly aim for just outside what you are capable of
@@tjltraining If motivation is not a factor, then in your opinion do you think there's no such thing as "you should be able to make x/10 before moving on to the harder variation"? I realize this is quite a nuanced point, as even if someone is chucking 3s outside of their range, eventually they'll start knocking them down as they get stronger and build coordination. But from an efficiency standpoint, I was wondering if you had a POV on this as you've progressed and helped others.
Not a trainer, but I think 60-70% (consistently) is usually sufficient to consider trying a more difficult variation (although the current variation is still helpful). I think more important than your make % at the current level is your make % at the next level, which you don't know until you try it. I've heard from a couple of trainers that 60%-80% is the "goldilocks zone" for the right amount of challenge for most people, so my goal is usually 3/5, 5/8, 6/10, etc. If you have a decent shot at that goal I think that particular level of difficulty is helpful in some way. If you're way off, then regress to an easier variation to calibrate your shot and build more psychological momentum before trying that level again.

Hey coach, I’m 5’8 trying to be a point guard but I’m struggling a lot with shooting, I’m good at layups and pushing but I struggle with aim overall, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but it’s probably how I throw the ball and my jump shot
yes there must be some inconsistencies with your jump shot, id check out my shooting course if you need to fix your shot
so I'm a 6,4 guard and i notice I'm really good on mid-range shooting by myself but i struggle with 3 pointers and shooting the ball in actual games. idk if I'm not just confident enough or what, but I just need better ball handling and confidence when playing with a team but that's hard when I'm mainly working out by myself, what would you recommend to improve on this?
work out/ play against other people more, all the work in the world by yourself wont prepare you for real defense, practice against real defense more
@@tjltraining alr thanks for the tip man i appreciate it!🙏🙏🔥🔥❤
When I workout should I make a schedule and create workouts for myself to follow or how should I structure these workouts?
Check out the webinar linked in the bio I teach you how to do all of that stuff
You've got a subscribe on me Sir! Thank you so much
thank you!
I’m a 5’9 pg, and I feel like my finishing and mid-range are quite good, but my shooting doesn’t translate well to the 3pt, is there any way to fix this? I hear the term “just put more reps up” but I just can’t seem to get better at shooting from deep like that.
Yes it could be your form may not be optimal from deep ( may have a hitch) which may make it tough to generate enough power to shoot consistently from 3
I’m 5 10 130 17 Junior and was on the varsity workouts and fall ball team but ended up getting cut from varsity and they didn’t look at me for JV whatsoever
I decided to join powerlifting and made states so should I continue to lift (145 255 320 are my maxes) or should I give basketball 1 last try
Definitely give basketball another try!!
@@tjltraining it was weird bc I was the only one on that varsity fall ball team to get cut
Threw me the short end of the stick
How important is mastering your breathing for stamina, and if it is important do you have any tips on how to.
yes it certainly is. Big thing is to learn to breathe primarily through your nose and belly breathe as opposed to breathing with your chest. Good thing to work on this is mouth tape when you sleep and can even practice first 10 minutes of your workout only breathing through your nose and keeping your mouth closed
Hey coach, I’m a 6’1 190 lbs pf but I’ve never been a 4 so I’m finding some difficulty in posts and I’m straight bricks. I have a hoop outdoors but I’ve only got like 10 meters to train so can you help me with exercises I can do
stop playing pf, 6'1 in other levels is pg or sg
I suggest you work on form shooting, dribbling, and finishing
@@zesuh3381 6'1 in lebanon is really tall, like 6'6 in other countries but i get your point and you are right, nevertheless i am working on my shot
Coach I a 6’3 big man in highschool I not bad at handling it just I really can’t handle pressure I don’t wanna play big anymore any tips?
Train your handle every day and play against defense in guard situations, would check out my summer transformation course first two week entirely focused on that
So can I focus 1-2 different things every week/months. For example, I can work on my shooting and ball handling for the whole week or month and then when that’s over with I can work on finishing and handling pressure when getting trapped
Something like that
You work on it until it is mastered and translated to the game
how do i actually get better at shooting? youre saying that im not supposed to do the same shots over and over but im still missing most of the easy ones, so i cant progress to harder ones yet. even tho Ive been doing it for quite a long time im not seeing improvement at all. Im just not sure how to train.
I think you just contradicted yourself, you said you are doing it the classic way, stick to basic simple shots but you still aren’t getting better, that’s why we mix it up and do variable practice instead
@@tjltraining you got any tips on mixing it up, like specifically for shooting?
Hey man I live in a townhouse and there are no courts near me will indoor mini hoops help. Since I am a 13 year old I can’t afford to train and go everywhere? Can you please help me with my solution.
Grab a basketball and go outside and work on your handle and passing, find an older dude who you can workout with and bring you places, study film, find a way to get better no matter what, mini hoop won’t do anything for you
Ok, But my parents are always busy so nobody can really take me outside to the park or something because they’re busy. Thank for the help! Can you make some indoor training videos please! It would be very helpful! Thank you very much!
Coach will i benefit if i do the same shooting workout for a long period?
You’ll need to constantly change it up, that’s like saying if you follow the same lifting workout and never change the weight, sets or reps will you get stronger? Of course the answer is no, need to constantly change it up to keep an appropriate level of challenge
@@tjltraining what changes can i make to do the workout for challenging? Add makes?
Watch some of my other videos I explain all of it in depth
I have a very good consistent shot when I’m playing indoor, but outdoor I can’t hit anything, will shooting outdoors mess up my shot?
No if anything it’ll help you!
i’m trying to make varsity and i feel very lost when i practice. i feel like all my practice is just bs and i’m not actually getting better or more experienced
Get on my summer transformation course, no more BSing your workouts
I feel the same as well
I live in brazil and there is not any courts near my house
Do I work on my handles then?
Yes and passing, prioritize that if it’s all you got
So can I just do your shooting workout and dribbling workout for 1-2 months, or is that staying in the comfort zone too much.
Will eventually become too comfortable if you just keep doing the same stuff
@@tjltraining so i can challenge myself within the same drills by how many shots I have to make out 10, right?
Correct that is one way to keep challenging yourself
@@tjltraining Thanks!
How do I practice driving towards the hoop with a defender on me when I am practicing alone?
Can mimic some of the qualities and moves you would use but can’t mimic real defense along
Man I don’t know what drills should I do as a 2 meter Center to improve my post game, most of the times in the post I get double/triple teamed and cant even pass
Study film to see how people in the nba pass off double teams Joel Embiid. Play post up 1v1 as much as possible and then train 2-3 moves and all those options as much as possible
@@tjltraining thanks man
should i be training dribbling shooting and finishing 5 days a week
Need to be more specific and have a focus, too broad and if there is no specific plan or goal you won’t see much improvement
would it be okay if i do one week finishing one week shooting or one week to another weekness?
No, you need to have a main area of focus and keep focusing on that and can sprinkle in the other stuff during workouts
@@tjltraining thank you
what if im new and terrible at everything should i just focus ball handling cause i feel like thats a base skill
Just go play Pick-Up
@@tjltraining but what should i do when im not playing
This doesn’t make sense to me, if I practiced to get good at floaters and layups, but then realize my shot is lacking, if I spend more time on my shot, my floaters and layups will get worse since I’m not doing them as much or as often. I want to improve on as much as possible but I can’t if I’m only emphasizing on 1 or 2 components
You can’t become great at anything working on everything, pick the most important and sprinkle in the other stuff, didn’t say you can’t do anything else but your FOCUS is on 1-2 things
Thanks so much. Sir please I need you to train me please I need a coach I'm 15 right now please help sir I'll really appreciate it
