5 Habits of Highly Ineffective Basketball Players

I was a highly ineffective basketball player. Yep. I was. When I got to college, I was. My first semester of college I struggled. My first practice I struggled. I had an asthma attack in my first practice. I don’t even have asthma. We were having an individual session with just 3 guards. And coach had us all over the place. And I couldn’t breathe. I ended up at the University Health Center. That was during the morning. That afternoon I was supposed to run 2 miles within 16 minutes. “What! I can’t do that. I got asthma.” I asked the doctor could he write a note to my coach explaining that I could not run the 2 miles that day. Little did I know. I would have to run it the next day.

It totally caught me off guard. I was a star. I was a super star. A super star basketball player since 7th grade. I was MVP of my teams for 6 straight years. 7th grade, 8th grade. 9th grade. 10th grade. 11th grade. 12th grade. Why was basketball so difficult when I got to college? Why was preseason conditioning so hard? I use to beat everyone in sprints in junior high and high school.

Because of my ineffectiveness during my days of college basketball, I decided to be a trainer. I decided to educate young ladies on what basketball really was. Especially if they thought about playing on the college level.

Here is a list of habits I had that made me ineffective as a college basketball player.
