#1 SECRET YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIPS

For families and athletes navigating the recruiting proves can be stressful, exhausting, and confusing. The key is to look at the recruiting process from a coaches perspective. They are 2 main players in the recruiting process Sellers(athletes/parents/scouts) and Buyers(College Coaches/Recruiters). In order to win at the recruitment game you must understand 1 key ingredient and that is VALUE. Yes VALUE you must know who you are selling yourself to. The way you can stand out is matching yourself colleges that are looking for the VALUE you bring to the table. For example if you are a great 3pt shooter a team that struggles from behind the arc will consider you a lot more valuable than a team full of 3pt shooters. What VALUE do you bring? Is it size ,strength, speed, shooting, defense, rebounding,passing, dribbling. First you must assess yourself know your strengths and weaknesses and see how you compare to other players in the marketplace. The goal of recruiting should be to find the right fit for yourself and that athletically, academically, and socially. Of course everyone wants to play big time basketball 🏀 but that takes big time skills. You must be elite at a particular skill you don’t have to be the best basketball player but you have to have an elite skill. Also you must meet the requirements academically and have a certain level of maturity. The bigger the stage the more pressure to succeed. There’s millions of dollars being invested. Receiving a basketball scholarship is reward for a huge sacrifice from athletes and there families. There needs to be thousand of thousands of hours invested in order to achieve a scholarship. It’s no different from deciding to be a doctor or a lawyer there has to be a high level of focus and discipline and more importantly KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE. You don’t want to miss out on your dreams because of a lack of knowledge. You don’t want to be one of thousand that miss out on their opportunity....... https://www.dreamscoutingnetwork.com/...

Ncaa Division Ii NCAA Division II is made up of smaller public universities and private colleges. There are 290 mens programs, and 291 women’s programs, in Division II basketball. Each member college and university in Division II is restricted to 10 full ride scholarships for their men’s program, and 10 full ride scholarships for their women’s program. Unlike Division I schools, coaches at Division II schools may divide their allotted full tuition scholarships into partial tuition awards as a way of attracting more players to their campus. For example, a Division II coach may recruit 20 players for a school’s women’s basketball team, dividing the ten available scholarships between them.

7 STEPS TO A GUARANTEED BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIP

1. Compete at the highest level possible:College coaches want to see you compete against other recruits. Whether its your high school team or AAU playing against other high level players is a sure fire way to increase your value in the recruiting market. 2. Compete in the summer during live periods: This is extremely important because of scheduling. College coaches have their own seasons to worry about but in the summer they have more time dedicated to scout talent. Also because of AAU circuits they get to see you play against other talent they wouldn’t get to see during the school year. 3. Attend elite camps: In addition to tournaments college coaches also evaluate recruits at elite camps. Most of the elite camps are invite only which allows coaches to get a closer look on the players they like. Make sure to attend camps that are at the top of your target list. 4. Excel academically Grade are very important to college coaches not only does it allow them to recruit you because they know you can get in their school but it also speaks to your character.Coaches want players that they can depend on both on and off the court. 5. Create a highlight film Highlight films are a great first impression they have to be made in a way to engage a coach to look further into them. Remember first impressions go along way. 6. Be proactive Despite what families may think, coaches don’t simply discover recruits. Unless they’re one of the very best players in the country, recruits need to do some work to get noticed by college coaches. This is especially important in basketball where student-athletes are still allowed to talk to coaches via phone when they’re the ones initiating the contact. 7. Know your best college fit Lastly, don’t forget to visit the college roster for every team on your target list. The last thing families want to do is waste their time emailing coaches at schools that aren’t a good fit.

MAMBA MENTALITY: HOW TO BUILD MENTAL TOUGHNESS FOR BASKETBALL

4 TYPES OF BASKETBALL PLAYERS Over the years of coaching and training thousands of basketball players i have come to the conclusion that there are 4 types of basketball players. Talented players who are Ambitious to learn how to improve their basketball skills. Non-talented players who are ambitious to learn how to improve their basketball skills. Talented players who have no ambition to learn how to improve basketball skills Non talented players who have no ambition to learn how to improve their basketball skills ou must understand that being born with talent is something that is not in your control but having the ambition to learn and desire to improve your basketball skills is something that you have total power to influence. Why do i make this point? Because many basketball players that I speak with in the daily basis get caught up in the idea that talent automatically equals success on the basketball court. They feel that talent is the answer to all their problems. That because they have talent it will make things easy. Let me tell you something talent alone won't guarantee you a scholarship. Although talent does predispose some basketball players to be more skillful and helps them pick things up faster.

Basketball Is A Business

Basketball is a business. In the business of basketball you either get paid to play in the form of contracts or scholarships; most players are paying to play. Both parents and players need to invest their time and money in qualified trainers. Make sure they are qualified to help their children become better players and better people. Players take on the characteristics of their trainers and parents want the right things to rub off on their children. Basketball training should definitely enhance players skills but also build character. I have seen players on all levels destroy their careers. Making bad decisions could be prevented if dealt with earlier in their playing career. Being a great basketball player doesn’t make you exempt from rules and regulations. As you go up in level of play, poor attitude is tolerated less. NBA players lose a lot of money and some even ruin their careers with poor decision making. For example, take Draymond’s green suspension in the NBA finals. Not only did it hurt his brand but hurt his team in a championship series. Therefore, player identity is so important for basketball players, especially young athletes. Players need to understand that their identity is their brand. Not just on the court, but also off the court. Wherever they go, their brand goes with them. Every decision they make can either increase the value of their brand or decrease the value of their brand. Some coaches adjust their coaching styles and strategies according to what they believe players need to work on. Every coach feels their system is the best and gives their team the best chance to win. The truth of the matter is there is no perfect offense, and no perfect defense if there where every coach would utilize that philosophy. Each coach knows exactly what type of player they need to make for their system run at an optimal level.
