Have you ever wondered why some basketball players seem to make everything looks so easy and effortless? You try and try, train hard and seemingly work on the right things, but others just keep taking bigger strides and making more progress. Maybe you’ve felt…

Or maybe you’re a basketball coach and you feel as though you could be giving more to your team if you only had a little more knowledge about different aspects of the game.

The game of basketball isn’t always about how much work you put in or how much time you spend training. Instead it’s all about working on the key fundamental areas that will take your game to another level — working on the 20% of things that will get you 80% of the results on the basketball court. However, most players and coaches have it the wrong way around and instead focus on the 80% of skills that only account for 20% of the result.

Isn’t it about time we snapped out of our old patterns of conditioning and started focusing on fundamental basketball skills that will make the biggest on the individual and team?

When I first started out coaching basketball my training sessions were disjointed and lacked specific focus and direction. This reflected in my team’s performance on the basketball court. No matter how hard we worked during training we continued to struggle in games on the basketball court.

I would conduct long and drawn-out training sessions that were focused on areas of the game that were difficult for junior kids to learn and understand. In essence I “jumped the gun” and began focusing on the 80% of skills that most of the kids just weren’t ready to learn. This caused a lot of frustration and disappointment for both players and coaches.

What I failed to realize at the time was that I should’ve been focusing on ONLY key fundamental areas of the game and not trying to teach kids everything they needed to know about basketball.

Struggling as a basketball coach forced me to rethink my coaching strategy. I approached several basketball mentors and asked them for some guidance and feedback. They all informed me that I needed to redirect my focus and work on ONLY fundamental areas that would significantly improve my team’s results during trainings and games. They instructed me to focus on nine key fundamental basketball areas that are critical to a basketball player’s development. These areas included:

• Basketball Mindset
• Shooting Skills
• Dribbling Skills
• Passing Skills
• Defensive Skills
• Offensive Skills
• Rebounding Skills
• Post-Play Skills
• Movement Tactics

Each of these areas is quite expansive in itself. However, what I needed to do was to identify the 20% of training skills and drills I needed to teach my kids that would get them 80% of their results on the basketball court.

Over the course of several years I attended a number of basketball clinics, observed experienced coaches and purchased several basketball training videos. I collated and pieced together all this information and went about the process trying to figure out what these coaches were teaching that had the biggest impact on their players and team performance.

I eventually pieced the fundamental 20% of things I learned about coaching basketball into a series of mind maps for easy reference for both coaches and players. This 20% became the fundamental core of the Basketball MVP bundle presented on this page. It certainly doesn’t reveal everything about the game of basketball, however it does provide you with the key specific skills and frameworks that will have the biggest impact on you as a coach or player.

This material is presented within a mind map because of it’s simplicity and easy of use.

Here are some key advantages that result from using a mind map as a reference tool on a particular topic area:

The Basketball MVP bundle pieces together some of the best information, strategies, tools and techniques about the game of basketball for junior players.
