[quote=Anonymous]He needs to cross-train in other sports too. The best athletes are the ones that play multiple sports at a young age. Basketball is particularly challenging because as you age, your shot changes. The extra strength needed to heave a ball at the basket ball isn't needed when you get older and taller so all of your mechanics change. However, footwork, court vision, defense and dribbling are the things to focus on at this age. Just going outside and shooting baskets with friends isn't always the best way to develop his skills. I see kids all the time outside playing and taking ridiculous shots that they'd never take in a game, thus developing poor mechanics and a false sense of achievement. Conclusion: If he's practicing his dribbling and footwork, then he's actually practicing. If he's outside shooting with friends, then he's just having fun.[/quote]
