I made AAU not that long ago, and the change of pace and skill from my school’s team to this was and still is such a crazy transition for me, I came from being the best on my team to the worse on this team, I’ve been grinding out and asking my coach for help and your videos have helped me so much with my mindset and basketball IQ.

When players are too passive, they usually aren't told about it. Other players on the team don't want that kid to take away their shots. Not being aggressive on offense doesn't stand out to a coach like a turnover or defensive mistake, so they might not even realize it. But at the end of the day, the players who are being aggressive and making players will get noticed by coaches the most.

as a freshman in highschool who is trying to lead my team next year these videos really help

Love your videos! Being from the same city and being a friend to Jordan burns your words are amazing. I make sure to have my son watch all your videos and he has elevated so much. Keep on killing it papa

I commented on your video a few months ago and the relpy from you motivated me to get in the gym again and my game has improved more than ever before seriously man thank you❤

Thank you for your videos, Tucker. I've always been a great defender but i have always been too passive on the offensive side. Your content has been the thing that helped me the most to gain confidence and play more aggressively.

Your videos are very helpful because they align with what I learn at Grit!

BRO THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING, also it'll help me hold onto the ball show out and also be confident (cause rn im dealing with the same thing you had to deal with in hgh schoo)

Another great video!!! Congrats on 20k subs 🎉🎉🎉

Man this helps more than a lot of player film breakdowns I watch, I learned from you that sometimes mentality is everything, but sometimes it is skill. It's more of a mixture than any one thing

You are like the futher I never had in basketball. Thank you from Spain.❤

when you attack and be aggressive it opens up more opportunities to pass the ball. So it’s okay to be aggressive because it’ll open up your teammates!! Ans when your aggressive and your teammates aren’t open but you are then you can score!!

Awesome video Tucker! This is a GREAT message for my son to hear so much of it is exactly what he is working through now. Thanks for the great content

Instead of listening to my pre-game music, I listen to you

Thank you so much these really help

Lots of great information on this video, nice work!!

Love these vids

man this is so efficient thx

I appreciate your videos a lot they I are helping me grow

Just watched you play against the seagulls live. was an exciting game to watch. You personally had a really good game. tough loss though

Can you make a video on how to be more aggressive

thxs man, This really helped

bro you deserve at least 500k subs because so many young player, including me can learn from you

Gr8 content as usual

Thank you for the video!!🔥🔥 Do you have any advice to be more consistent when shooting or getting more range?

Do you have any tips on finding/ creating the best workout routines for basketball training. I’ve always been confused on finding great dribble workouts, etc.

Another thing I've been hearing advice from coaches saying if my shots not falling then stop shooting and that messed with my confidence. But Now I realized your last shot shouldn't determine your next shot.

Good vid tuck, as always How do you handle the disappointment of losing? I personally feel we shouldve won the league but we only had 6 players in the final and 2 fouled out, so we got run off our feet in the last quarter and lost, as well as me feeling that my personal ability was underrated as i felt i was a top 3 player in the league but i wasnt considered for best and fairest or runner up (my younger brother who im much better than but shorter than got runner up), so im struggling a bit with it at the moment

@tucker Tucker I agree a lot with what you covered here. I think watching you in high school you were outstanding but in fact you could have been more aggressive on the offensive end. The fact is your team achieved a level of success it never had in a long time and you were a major part of that but you could have taken more shots and your team would have benefited from that. What is funny is your sister who was a good player was the same way. I talked to your Mom about that a lot. I also agree with the don't be fancy analysis you made. In fact coaches do say that and it is a mistake. I have no problem a coach saying use that move in a different situation but not keep it simple that is not how you play basketball. Against a high level of competition you especially need your full arsenal. Your point on the transfer portal is well taken, The fact is Tucker if things don't go well on a job are you gonna look for a new one every time - of course the answer is No. The portal has a purpose and you covered it well but right now its being totally misused. These are great videos and I hope your doing well,

Tuck, could you make a video about like scoring and stuff, cause I feel me and probably others feel like they need to average 15+ ppg to be a player at the next level. I think I could work on being aggressive obviously. But like some tips to stop worrying about scoring and more about just how to make a impact. You don’t need to make the video, it would just help.

The advice to not think is still valid in regards to skill performance. If you have to think about shot mechanics while shooting, it is going to mess up your shot. You have to get the individual skills down so that you don't have to think about them and you can think about things like what the defense is giving you, or how to stop their main option.

hi man i love ur content, have you any advice for young people like me who are very anxious even when i play against other players that are not on my same level of skill every time i play with a jersey on and a referee i don't perform as i want and i have constant toughs about mess up everything and my team hating on me(sorry for bad engligh)

The problem with this selfish/unselfish talk is that it's not always the best players with the ball. We have kids trying to shoot against 4 defenders while the rest of the team stand wide open. That is when I tell my kids to not be selfish. Not when they are aggresive and putting pressure on defenses. Even then, if they are driving into a wall of people and there's an open player right next to them ready to shoot, I expect them to make the pass rather than try to hit a layup into 3 defenders. The aggressiveness was good, then they just need to stop being selfish and let the team score. Often time with kids the selfishness causes them not to be succesful which in turn plays with their motivation to play. I want the kids to learn to make the correct play, which will also lead into team success, thus making basketball more fun for everyone. If one player is always the one handling the ball, the other players don't have an opportunity to develop. Aggressiveness is a good thing, selfishness is not.

But just play don’t think about it can go both ways just depends on the player but thinking could help u in many different ways tho. But some people are just natural but that’s kinda rare

Can you make a video talking about moving up vs staying down on a age group for a team!? I’m eligible to play on the 16u but am good enough to ball with the 18u. I wouldn’t get as much playing time, but what do you think I should do?

That’s crazy I remember watching aau vids with jahvon and naz Reid I didn’t know that was u

Yo could you maybe make a video about controlling momentum and your mindset in a game? Or maybe just give me some tips? I tend to be a more emotional player but whenever I try and rein and play more levelheaded in I feel like I lose intensity and play really passive. Idk, I just want to be able to keep my cool when things don’t go my way while being able to keep the energy up and capitalize on momentum. Love the videos and the opportunity to learn from someone more experienced than me. Keep it up!

hey tucker, I want to know what I could do to be more aggressive because in the strategy that my coach uses, the play is always so that the big guy scores.

Does the recruiting part of this video matter for middle schoolers? Like do I need to be worried about all that right now?

Hey Tucker, what recruiting app should I use? Do you think that the NCSA recruiting app is worth it?

When i get open for a second i always hesitate to shoot it so i think should i shoot or pass. And when i do shoot i get nerveus and my arc goes through the roof. Hello from Estonia.

hey tucker do you think its better to focus on offense or defense . it seems like everybodys worried about scoring points but im the smallest on the starting five but i get the most rebounds and assets should i try to score more? or just work on my overall game?

How’d you get access to the transfer portal? I thought that wasn’t public

Is it okay to be selfish and unselfish in some situations? I mean if i can score at will why not ball hog if the situation is right? Doesn't matter if they are mad i mean if the team need to score why not right?

With this subject that with your term “selfish” that those type of players still need to use their team to win and make the right plays rather than being a 1 man show?

my friend shot one three and missed it and got subbed out and didnt play for the rest of the game but the coachs son missed like 10 and didnt make any and he never got subbed out.

What's better: sit on the bench for a better team or develop leadership on a worse team by being the first option?

Facts

Brother my problem it’s my height 😂being 5”8 it’s hard to make it pro

You dont gotta be passive to pass

I’m trying to make the best of my opportunity man. i’m 14 6’3 180 pounds.

Bro i promise i'll make it to the NBA .SANGWA HIRWA Sean from RWANDA (17 yrs)(5'7)

I think like LeBron says on mind the game, you need to have bball iq and it's something you need to study especially longevity. To owners and coaches, they see you as part of the chess piece and how to fit in the whole board. So why not learn the whole board Why is Draymond still in the league despite his lack of "skill". Coz he knows the plays. Learning the plays, games is highly beneficial
