Heres a hint, its not that theyre basketball superstars. If you said training, then you are absolutely right. They all train hard to be able to play at their level. Those spectacular moves you see them perform at game-time are, quite simply, a product of countless hours of practice, practice, practice. But you dont have to be a basketball superstar to handle a basketball effectively. As long as you are willing to put in the time to practice, you will learn how to play like a professional. Practice really does make perfect, after all. One of the most basic, yet intrinsic skills you will need to learn is how to effectively handle a basketball. Because this is a core skill you will need to master, we shall focus our discussion on ball handling. Why is basketball handling such a crucial skill? Effective ball handling is necessary to get the ball in the right position to shoot or to pass to a teammate. Being able to maneuver the basketball from one player to the another, until it is in the hands of the open man, spells the difference between winning and losing. In fact, basketball handling fulfills such a vital function that the players with the best ball handling skills are valued assets. MEET THE AUTHOR Joseph Pritchard is a passionate reader and writer. He has a bachelor's degree in Biology and also completed a degree in medicine. He has written for other prominent online publications and enjoys writing on a variety of topics.

Download or read book Streetball Is Life written by Paul Volponi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning young adult author Paul Volponi comes the true story of his unforgettable summer spent proving himself as a legitimate New York City streetballer, only later discovering that he had gained a set of skills that would enhance his life off the court, as well. During the sweltering summer of seventeen-year-old Paul Volponi’s life, he had only one goal—he wanted, no, needed to become a legitimate and respected New York City street basketball player. It was a passion that consumed him night and day, and at times even isolated him from his friends and family. So he entered through the gates of the Proving Ground, the roughest streetball yard in the city. It was a place where the fouls resembled felonies, and the atmosphere mirrored that of the Roman Coliseum more than Madison Square Garden. It was where teens and adults contested pickup games with a ferocity seemingly greater than that of the NBA Finals. The Proving Ground was a difficult place to cultivate friendships and an easy environment to make enemies. This is the story of Paul’s summer-long initiation at the Proving Ground. It is truly a streetball testament of a teenager who wanted more than anything else to earn his stripes in streetball society. Only what he didn’t understand at the time was that this experience would deliver to him, as it does today for so many young adults, a set of skills that would enhance his life far beyond the boundaries of a basketball court.
