Much like we've seen the Kobe Bryant Mamba Mentality, every basketball player wants to know how to be confident and how to be mentally tough like Kobe and Michael Jordan.
Being confident starts with outworking your opponents. We can also use visualization in order to cement in our self belief and confidence. If you commit to doing this mental workout, your consistency, self-belief, and performance will improve.

Let me know what else you guys want to see! - Sport
Number one tip is learn to not care, learn to make mistakes. Learn to not give a damn about making mistakes and know that you are good. Practice and so you know you can make shots etc imagine how many times kobe missed a shot
This
is
Kobe has the most missed shots of all time and he’s still top 10
i wish i could learn this but my teammates make me feel bad when i mess up and i don’t know how to overcome that
@@ryyxzz_-_-6328 It’s what happens man, just don’t make yourself feel bad. If you mess up practice until you can barely mess up. Then no one can tell you anything. And when your teammates mess up don’t bring them down just worry about yourself
This is so true Kobe once said Confidence comes through preparation so when the games on the line I’m not questioning something I’ve done 1000 times before
JVIake absolutely. Super important!
Yes sir. Pracrice makes perfect.
Thx bro I hope this helps.. Ik I’m better than everyone but I just can’t seem to find the confidence... it’s like a waste of hard work and talent🤦🏾♂️
Cj _ I gotcha man. I’ve been there. Trust me I know the frustration. Here’s what I’d say to the younger me: In addition to everything in this video, make sure you are in the gym outworking everybody. You have to. You have to LOVE the grind.
You should love the grind so much that you aren’t even affected by the outcomes. If you have a great game, you go back and work harder. If you play terrible, you go back and work harder. Process process process. When you’re in the game the only thing you’re worried about is doing your best. The process. Don’t worry about makes or misses or any of the outcomes. The makes will come will you commit to the process.
Keep working hard and doing the right things and eventually the right things will happen to you. I promise. Results aren’t linear but in the end it’ll work out if you do the right things.
Also, don’t be afraid to take L’s. Go find the best players in your area and play against them as much as you can. Play people who are better than you. Don’t be afraid if you get crossed up and lose to someone. You’ll get better and eventually you’ll be good enough to be on their level and your confidence will steadily increase. Again it’s all about getting better.
Ultimately, be addicted to the game. Live it and breathe it. Seek out people who will make you raise your game. That will get you the confidence you need.
Vision Driven Basketball 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Preciate it U Earned A Sub💯💯
Cj _ thanks man! Keep working
Cj _ I feel you bro
@Ryan Chetty same just have that same confidence when sharing the court they can’t guard u bro
I’m a 5 foot 2 undersized 14 year old guard and I just realized the couple of times that I did good was when I had motivation and confidence. This video helped me so much
you should also study isaiah thomas and curry's off ball movement. They both have Great methods to get good opportunities to score no matter what height
Learn to hesi and pump fake
Dont think about the disadvantages of your height its bringing you down bro
I agree on this one now when I think. I was once going 1v1 against someone I knew had at least 3-5 years more experience than me and he was also way taller and basically he had all advantages I could think of. But then when I was under with 8 points and and I still hadn’t gotten a single point I though to my self there is no way I’ll lose this bad to anyone. That was a big motivator for me to keep on going and then I scored 1 point and then it kept going I didn’t miss a single shot and then we were tied with 8-8. I still lost after that but that just motivated me to get even better at the game.
how tall are you now?
not just confidence, also emotional attachment to the game and the idea of HAVING TO play well every time.
Just watch highlights of yourself and be prepared you will be good
I dont have highlights
Record yourself playing and clip out the good stuff lol
Or watch hella film
But I suck. Lol
Doesn’t work if you have no highlights
This literally is my problem I practice literally every single day. My handles shooting finishes everything, but now that I've finally found my weakness I destroy so many people now.
This is amazing! I just started freshman basketball and I’m practicing with varsity. This video helped me to be prepared and play at my best level. Stay safe bro and Jesus bless you! 🏀 #underatedvideo
Glad it helped you!
I needed this alot. My high school basketball season is coming up and its my first time playing on an actual team and now i know what i need to focus on. #ConfidenceIsKey 🗝️
the first comparison is like: me vs my friend (he always skip the pratice but he can score 26 point)
i still keep working hard and when the quarantine is over i'll prove that im the best
I was so much worse then my best freind but then he stopped practicing guess what now hes the odlder version of me
You better now
Look up: get confident:10-MINUTE MENTAL TOUGHNESS by dr. Jason selk: THIS VIDEO HELPS ALOT
Needed to re watch this. I'm in 8th grade and a couple days ago was my first high school level basketball practice, and i wasn't hitting shots, wasn't filling in spots, couldn't gaurd anyone. Caught myself hitting myself in the head after mess ups then realized i needed to re watch this. Tmr is my 2nd and ima treat it like its my last, gotta show these future coaches and teammates what i got.
hard work beats talent when talent fails to work
I love this "visualization" strategy so much because instead of thinking about all the possible ways you can fail, you are imagining yourself doing well and succeeding. Thanks 👍🙏❤️
This video helped me a lot! Im 14 and when I would step on the floor to play, I would get around 9-10 points a game. Then after watching your video, I visualized myself making good plays and having complete control on the way to my games. Now I'm getting anywhere from 15-21 points a game. Thank you so much!
love to hear that, great stuff!
I have been stepping up in games and I wanted to see why, I dunno what happened everything just clicked.
We played basketball today and I kept in mind to have confidence and I took my shot Everytime. Shooters shoot. I play with a few kids where I know whole heatedly I'm better than bc I put in work. They don't. I love basketball and I wanna be great.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting to improve my mental game and I think this will really help.
Thanks man. I remember watching this video a while ago and it really got my confidence up but then I forgot about it and my confidence went down and I forgot how to fix it. Just watched the video again and the line “Whether you think you are good or you don’t, you’re right” really hit me lol. Pretty much instantly got my confidence up 😂
Really love ur vidsss, I think that's why kobe became one of the best bcuz he's working like nobody else and he is confident at any situation
Kobe had the an amazing mindset the mamba mentality and always put in work
Thank you so much! I got a game in three hours and I’m no longer nervous but really excited. I started remembering my best plays in the past and now I’m hyped. I’m no longer afraid of making mistakes because now I know that there are no consequences to whatever the results are. I’m gonna work hard and have a lot of fun.
Most of the time I suck, I get no passes and my teammates doesnt care about me. Probably because the way i play. But sometimes when I have a strong mindset I become the best.
its so hard for me to gain confidence in a serious game man, i always score better in practice or game with my friends but not in the serious game. this video help so much thx man.
Some how this video is helping people. Confidence don’t mean shit if you’re trash, stop smiling and get to work. What weaklings mistake for confidence is hard work and practice.
I'm Not KIDDING. AFTER THE VIDEO I WENT TO THE COURT AND FR WAS DOING KINDA BAD BUT UNTIL I REMEMBERED THIS VIDIO... I MADE SWISHES ALL DAY
love it bro
That video was awesome! THANK YOU
Thx man im working on it ♥️
Damn i really need this,someone start over me and the coach only play me 1 minutes on a tournament,although i lock him down every practice and outscore him everytime. I'm a very different person under pressure,and my mind was never focused on games.
Amazing vid bro, so much info and you put great effort and it shows!!
Thank you so much! It really helped me😊
That was so helpful for me because although I am taller then everyone else, but I am never quite the most "popular" kid on the team; but that does not matter. I need to black it all out. THANK YOU! ❤❤❤
You have a cool voice too.
Thank you man 💥
Thanks alot for this, I'm grateful
Thank you bro 🙏🏾
Thank you so much this helped me a lot 🙏
Ong thx this helped me a lot
Thanks for all of this I believe this will help me
This really help me build my confidence
My advice is think that ur better Than all the players on the floor. I didn’t have any confidence last season and I’m looking towards this season to being way better.
thanks for the tips, im about to leave for a tournament, and i always have trouble playing as well i do when im by myself, compared to in game.
Just subbed loved the vid
Thx bro this helped
The way i bulit my mental toughness was watching the last dance, suddenly i was more confident and more obsesed with basketball like Mj and kobe.......Rip Mamba :(
this video will also help me in skateboarding. this is pretty much for every sport and everything
You motivate me
This really helps
also practice being present. lock in on THE MOMENT instead of trying to obtain something in the future so your focus is on what's going on. don't get stuck on something that may not happen, just go through each moment and enjoy every part of it
tysm i need this im not confidence in the court bcs i don't trust myself to do what I love to do it
This is so elite
so true, i had a lot of confidence on 2019 and didn't practice but still won top 5 player in our school. but now 2022 i practice a lot but still can't get my usual style of playing cause im always nervous when handling the ball
This is so true i play with no confodence in myself and i missed 5 layups and hit none when i practice i make 75 percent of everything
Thank you man this helps me so much I use to start and play the whole game but the players and new coaches came around and started treating me bad and I started sucking like bad and I know I’m better then the players. It gets annoying
thxx!!!
This is such a useful video because I know I’m a bucket but when I’m in a game I’m so passive and have barely any confidence
Thanks bro
Thank you
Listen to Kobe he's always right. Kobe has already been threw all of what we're facing so he can tell you what you need to be mental prepared and that's CONFIDENCE AND MOTIVATION. Also you must practice, and practice until you get it right.
Thanks for the tips. It’s frustrating because I can beat a lot of people 1 on 1 and score a lot in games with friends. I know I’m capable, but when I play a game or do a scrimmage, I freeze and forget what I know, and I end up messing up. I’m horrible at handling pressure.
really it helped me alot. to build up confidence for a game.
🙌🏽
This helped so much thank you
Because of you I might be able to play travel next year
Thx bri
I’m a “5” 2 player that struggles most of the time but I’ve come to realize that the times that I played the best was when I had confidence. One time I broke a high school kid’s ankles after he smack talked me, but I didn’t let him get into my head and then I broke his ankles. Another time I won a three point contest at my school by not missing a single chit the entire contest of 3 rounds
ty bro i just scored 70 points 10 assists and 13 rebounds!
good joke 😂
my 8 situations
Past:
Behind the backboard long middy swish
Pump fake ( made the guy jump asf ) to drive finish flu game
Wing catch n shoot 3
Behind the arc shot fake pass
Future:
More middys n 3's
Handling the ball under pressure
More dimes to teammates
Spin move / crossover action
Great video, half way through and I’m already loving it 🙃
Most sports are 75% mental 25% physical, but power sports like bball and football are 50-50
This really helped me thank you
Happy to hear that!
Tx brother. Like to be honest in open gym and stuff like that im the best now doibt but in real games i never show my skills and pass the ball all the time. I want ti change that in a good way
Our grandson in the 8th grader who works harder than most BUT he freezes up in a live game, yet in pickup games at the gym he is shooting 3’s and driving and finishing like crazy.
Everytime i warm up and work out i have the confidence to beat the other team no matter how good they are but when it comes to the real match up
My shots are always airball and just not hitting my shots
using this for fn tourney thanks 😀
I’m so good at practice people watch me and say very good things but when it comes to games I’m too scared to do anything I’m praying this will help
Work ethic eliminates fear Michael Jordan. Work at your craft and when it comes time to perform it just comes naturally
This is going to help me because I’m a great player I mean great enough to be a starter but I have no confidence
This helped alot i Also started with I'm least confedent with Is ball ha doing wile my eyes are Closed
I am 6'3 and im 14, Im starting highschool so i know ima be playing the bigger boys, and at my size, ill be guarded and guarding forward, which gives me a bit of fear, but thankfully i found this video, hopefully it helps me. Wish me good luck. Hoping one day ill be in the league.
Good luck bro✌️
Where u at rn
Great video
Thanks for watching!
GOD bless✌🏾💕
this is kind of long but here i go..
so, i played travel for 2 seasons in 2018 and beginning of 2019 and was not that good, and got very burnt out and hated playing. so i decided quit and then play rec for one season, which ended february 2020 and was pretty good on my team and enjoyed not have so much stress put on me like i did during travel, and then covid happened so i haven't played for over 2 years. recently i've gone outside and just practiced shooting but i am kind of realizing i wanna start getting back into it. i am not very confident on defense and if was wondering if anyone has tips! but this video is definitely very helpful
I had to play on a different age group the year above this year and I’m still playing with them. I think it’s in September that I go into the right age group. That’s when I’ll take off. Right now I don’t make any mistakes and it’s not cause I’m amazing it’s because I play safe. I know I have the skill I just don’t use it but I’m going to perfect it and then in September I’ll be ready to fail on the new team as I know I’ll do well
before I watched this video only got 6-8 points in my first game of the season and everyone was talking about me playing so bad and than I watched this and the future things I thought about really happened I ran the court I got a three I passed and I got a chase down block and walked in that game with confidence and walked out with confindence
Bro this is me. LOL Down to the nitty gritty details of what you said!
🙌🏽
Thanks bro, i know im good. Its just im not confident.
High school big game tomorrow, I have the skill set, the vert, the vision but zero confidence in my game. Hope I turn up tomorrow
Vision driven bro thx for the feedback
John Mcornick 💪🏽💪🏽
Vision Driven Basketball your tips my man, their powerful. Keep doing u my brotha 🔥👊
John Mcornick appreciate the love my man🙏🏽
What's the song/track in the background? Pretty dope!
This what my daughter needed
My dad always said mind over matter. “If you don’t mind, then it doesn’t matter.”
Confidence comes either from hard work (training at the gym) or Talent (born with natural skills)… so let’s be real here, confidence can’t be achieved just from thin air , it’s EARNED !!!
I was cut my sophmore year and have since then worked harder and put just as much or more gym time as anyone else thats on the team. I have improved astronomically, and am now playing with the team in summer league. The only problem is that it tend to freeze when given oppurtunity to prove myself, and now i am going to be a junior and as of our first practice i was placed with the freshman and sophmores, barely even the JV team. I want this so bad and I know I can do it, but i just struggle to figure out how to become a consistant ballplayer. Somedays i am actually one of the best playing on the court, varsity included, while others I probably look like I have no clue what Im doing. Like i said I work hard and I know that my coaches know I do, but it feels like i just have to take a few more steps and all of a sudden i will be a completely different player, its like the feeling that im almost there, but not quite. Like im being teased. Can anyone relate?
I feel like I'm one of the best players in my team but when it comes to the game I'm not confident to take a shot that is I can easily make or I'm not confident to drive for that layup but I hope this helps
So if I combine the visualization and your affirmations I will improve my game on command anytime I want to
Yup
I’m so good at the game but always over think when I end up missing or want to do something like if there’s is a player on my teams hats better than me I always try to give them the ball even tho I can do almost everything they can
I get so nervous my hands shake a lot when I am given the ball, I pray this helps
Kobe is always in the gym. Mamba Mentality
Last time I played was March of 2020, now that I play again I lost all my confidence. Imma try this out for sure.
Like when playing scimmige with friends and other things. I'm also the best player when it comes to 1v1 and team games no one can guard me and the best player in the whole school but when playing games I'm nervous and I can't really play that well my friends are telling me that I have to build up my confidence so I can play like i normally do.
I have a game on Wednesday, and one on Saturday;
I’m about to try it out and give y’all the update
• Edit : Wednesday’s game :
I follow the « preparation process » I’ve worked out for months on my skills before this game due to pandemic stops and … I was SURPRISED ! I can easily pass my defender at a point I was like « what I have the lay up » so I’ve miss some shots just because I was SURPRISED that NOW I can get them. So that’s a good surprise it works well. I had a lot of free throws !
So now on the Friday game I’ll really try to get in the « Visualization » process and now .. TRUST myself and we’ll see.
• Edit : Since the last edit we had 4 games (lost 3, won 1, (I don’t play in the last L)), and I nearly do the SAME thing : I have a moment in the game, often in the 1st period, off the bench as a 6th man, that I put all my point like 6 points in 2-3 minutes, getting every body hot
And after this, the point is : in the 2nd period I shoot way less ! I do a lot of pass, a lot good pass, or assist get my teammates open shoots, lay ups, and they missing (maybe because they don’t expecting me passing my defender so easily, what I wasn’t doing before)
So I think that I am about to be way more aggressive, and pass, but also : taking more shot, because the few I take, I made them.
So my advice is : keep practicing; and get the confidence from your teammates, by getting confidence in yourself. And know that it is a time process, for them giving you the team’s key.
I been struggling with confidence on the court bc i started late, i played my first games this year and did horrible and now i get nervous even in the practices
