"'10-Yes' Checklist"

By: Tony Alfonso
www.HoopsU.com
 

This is a simple checklist -- this is not a test, but if you want to be a good basketball player, you should be able to answer 'YES' to each and every one of these questions. Ok, so maybe it is a test!!

Think about each question and be honest with yourself. If you answer 'no', you may want to re-evaluate your game, skills, and/or work ethic.

__________ 1. Are you more active than your opponent?

__________ 2. Are people constantly expressing amazement at how hard you work?

__________ 3. Do you keep a daily shot chart and measure your shooting progress?

__________ 4. On defense, do you work at least as hard off the ball as on the ball?

__________ 5. Do you talk to your teammates every time down the court on defense?

__________ 6. Are you always on balance before shooting, passing, or dribbling?

__________ 7. Do you typically sprint between the 3-pt lines when changing ends?

__________ 8. Do you realize that it is hardly ever good to stand still during games?

__________ 9. Do you encourage your teammates at least 100 times per practice?

_________ 10. Do you go to practice each day with the purpose of improving?
