After years of training and coaching players at every level, I’ve realized that most players are focusing on the wrong things. The flashy drills, the combo moves, the hour-long workouts... they feel productive, but they rarely translate to real results in games. In this video, I break down the 80/20 Rule and explain why I’ve shifted my entire approach to focus on just two skills: Basketball IQ and shooting. These are the skills that actually lead to more points, more confidence, more minutes, and more trust from coaches. If you’ve been working hard but not seeing results, this video is going to change how you approach your training forever.

Over the years, I’ve covered everything from ball handling to finishing to athleticism. But recently, I’ve made a major shift—and in this video, I’m breaking down exactly why I now focus almost entirely on Basketball IQ and shooting. It all comes back to the 80/20 Rule: the idea that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. I’ll explain why these two skills are the true game-changers for serious players, how they impact your opportunities on the court, and why mastering them will fast-track your development more than anything else.

Most players go into the offseason with the wrong mindset — they focus on trying to look good, dominate open gyms, and prove themselves in every workout. But that approach keeps you stuck as the same player year after year. In this video, I break down the difference between performance mode and learning mode, and why learning mode is the key to real growth during the offseason. I’ll show you how to shift your mindset, train with purpose, and use concepts like the Goldilocks Principle to push your development forward. If you want to come back next season as a more confident, smarter, and more complete player, this video is for you.
