How can you get better at basketball without actually playing basketball? Some people don't always have access to a court, or even a hoop. Here are some ways to improve different areas of your game without actually playing.
1. Skipping: skipping can improve your footwork, and help you play better on defense. Also, it is cardio, so it will help when your running up and down the court.
2. Running: running is pretty self explanatory, this will make your cardio better so you are able to be running around the court all the time.
3. Weights: maybe you have weights at home. If you do, you can use them to help improve both your upper and lower body strength. Strength can be crucial in all parts of your game, from making a long shot to boxing out a big post.
- try lunges, squats, push ups and bench presses for some basic strength training.
These three exercises will help improve important areas of your game. You can also try vertical jumps, and different defensive exercises. These are all good exercises however, there is nothing like getting on the court and actually practicing with a hoop!
