The 5 Biggest Mistakes I Made as a Sports Parent and How You Can Avoid Them!

Help your basketball player improve his playing skills

January 6, 2011 by Janis

Any basketball players in your family?

If so, you are in the middle of a busy season. But not too busy, I hope, to spend some extra time helping your young athlete improve his (or her) game if he comes to you for help.

You don’t have to be an athlete or a coach to take the advice of these basketball experts and help your child improve his skills.

Watch the videos with your child–maybe one at a time–then find a hoop and practice.

Offense: it sells the tickets!

  • Basketball basics (free throws, dribbling, jump shot)
  • How to shoot 3-pointers
  • How to improve your dribbling
  • How to shoot a jump shot

Defense: it wins the games!

  • Defense: adjusting to the player on offense
  • Michael Jordan talks about how to stand on defense
  • How to take a charge

After working hard, remember to pack your basketball bag and have fun at your son or daughter’s games. Here’s to making memories with your child in 2011!
