Basketball Dribbling Tips

It is nearly 3.00 in the morning and I might go to bed by anytime now.Yet,there's one idea that had been bugging me all day long so I think I should just let it go and blog about it.I've been watching videos of how did the basketball pros dribble so well in front of their opponents.I mean,come to think about it,there are defenders in front of the dribbler,or the carrier of the ball and he or she should be afraid or scared being of being 'offended' by the defenders.You know,it's like animals protecting their territory so they try to become aggressive as much as possible but still,how could the attacker overcome this?

This example of metaphore is just the same as in the situation that consists of the basketball dribbler and the defender.How could the dribbler ever not become afraid and keep on trying to cut in and score?This exposes the first basketball dribbling tip,that is,instead of avoiding the defender,how about try to attack him or her?This can be done either by doing your streetball skills or tricks,or maybe,you know,try to scare the defender off by looking at the eyes-I mean it,angry eyes,serious eyes,aggressive eyes,whatever you might call it.

Second,'keep your head in the game!'...and yes,that's High School Musical's courtesy.What I meant by this is that always focus whenever you're on the court,holding the ball because by that point,all of your team mates,audience's hopes and fears are all in your hands.You determine the fate of your team so you better focus all the time!Focus for what?Openings!Try to find openings with your eyes eventhough they're small enough to squeeze a ball thorough because usually that is the best opening for you to either cut in or pass.Many basketballers don't really know about this so their expectations are always on the 'wide-big-obvious' openings.You can use these small openings to do tricks at your defender too.That small-tiny space is useful to move your defender to that location,lock him up because he got no place to go else,and cut in as fast as you could.That's tip number two!

Every basketballers have their strong hand probably their right hand or left hand that is used to shoot/dribble and vice versa for the weak one.Everyone has it including me but one thing you should know is that whenever you're in the game,dribbling,never ever show or expose your weak hand to your opponent.Why?Eventually,he or she will start to force you using your weak hand to dribble and by that time,swoosh,the ball is gone.One way to overcome this is balance your dribbling rythm by dribble with both of your hands and I don't mean by using your two hands at the same time to dribble because that would be a foul of course!What I meant is try to dribble with your weak hand too.Then,you can change it to your strong hand and on and on it goes-strong hand,weak hand,strong hand,weak hand,strong hand,weak hand.

Well I guess that's pretty much about it!Whenever you're dribbling,ALWAYS keep these three tips in your mind.You can mark my words of their effectiveness later :).Thank you for reading!Sweet dreams yaw!
