  • #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/...

  • THE TRUTH ABOUT DIVISION 2 BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIPS

    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.     

    1. Talented players who are Ambitious to learn how to improve their basketball skills.  
    2. Non-talented players who are ambitious to learn how to improve their basketball skills. 
    3. Talented players who have no ambition to learn how to improve basketball skills 
    4. Non talented players who have no ambition to learn how to improve their basketball skills  

      5. 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.

    5. #1 REASON WHY NBA PLAYERS USE SUPPLEMENTS

      Supplements Supplements play a big role in sports today, as there are times when a player cannot get the necessary nutrition through food alone. It is a big industry and there are hundreds of products out there that can be used to supplement nutrition.   While we will not prescribe any particular supplement, we will note that they are just that, “SUPPLEMENTS,” and not meant to stand alone as nutrition. Players can take in more protein through a protein drink or make sure all vitamins and minerals are covered through taking them in supplement form but, again, this is to supplement what they are getting in their meals and snacks.   All players should use supplements only to compliment their solid daily nutrition. If used properly, they can be very effective, especially considering there are times when players cannot get exactly what they need to eat. As we know, not all players have the luxury that some of the NBA pros do in having a chef to prepare the perfect meals for them. Parents are busy and schedules are tight, in these cases, supplements can be very helpful for players to make sure they are getting all that they need.

    6. WHAT TO EAT ON GAME DAY

      Eating Out

      Some of the toughest nutrition decisions are made when eating away from your comfort zone. Eating nutritiously at restaurants, especially fast food establishments can be challenging but there are almost always good choices available. Being prepared and remembering your goals can often help identify what options are best in many different situations.

      Optimal nutrition leads to optimal health which leads to optimal performance.
      When arriving at a restaurant,
      * think about what meal or snack this is for you?
      * when the last time was that you ate?
      * what did you last eat, and when/what will likely be your next meal?

      Don’t be afraid or shy, asking for special requests and adjustments will be necessary in order to nutritiously transform some meals. Consuming a protein shake or nutrition bar prior to going out for a meal is a great way to reduce your appetite and therefore reduce the temptation to overeat or make problematic decisions.

      Game Day Eating
      While a player’s nutrition should be solid and well thought-out every day, eating on game-days has an elevated importance to perform at a high level. Coaches and players are always looking for a perfect “pre-game meal” to maximize performance. Theories like “carb-loading” have been used to try to improve energy levels and overall performance. When I was in college we always had a pre-game meal 4 hours prior to tip-off and ate the same selection of foods every time, however, we don’t believe there is any ONE way to eat and especially a ONE “magic” pre-game meal.

      What players need to realize is that their nutrition the day before a game, the entire day of the game, and the meals after the game will determine their overall performance. It is a battle to get the body 100% prepared for a max effort by balancing the micronutrients, vitamins and minerals, electrolytes, and all other pieces of nutrition. We are trying to produce a well-oiled machine in every player and there is no quick fix.

      Meals must be chosen to provide the essential levels of all components of nutrition. Carbohydrate intake must be sufficient to provide energy but all other pieces must also be in place to create a balance and allow the body to work efficiently. For example, if a player eats perfectly on game day but does not drink enough water, the effects of the nutrients will be negated by dehydration. Glycemic index also plays a role with carbohydrate intake. If a player eats 3 hours before a game, he must make sure to eat low-glycemic index carbs so the energy will be released slowly. So really, the basic principles we have been discussing apply to game day as well.

      As coaches and trainers, we must educate our players on the importance of good nutrition at all times but especially in the days and hours leading up to games and major workouts. We cannot expect them to perform at the level we need them to without their bodies full of energy and ready to go.
