In basketball, the point guard is the general on the basketball court who has the longest possession of the ball. The following steps will show you how to stand out on the basketball court.

Steps

1. 1 Work on your stamina. You should run 3-8 kilometers 2-3 times a week. If you do this, then endurance will not be a problem for you.
   • The point guard needs to be in good shape: you will be running a lot, so maintaining a healthy diet is helpful. Eat a lot of carbohydrates. Fruit will provide you with a good initial supply of energy. A little food with empty calories from time to time doesn't hurt. Pasta or potatoes are best eaten before playing. And drink plenty of water.
2. 2 Concentrate on your lower body. Basketball requires jerking leg loads, so you should squat 2 times a week, doing 4 sets of 5-8 reps. Plus, having strong shoulders and abs will help you become a good hitter, so if you bench press twice a week and leg raises once every two days, you can easily reach the basket. By the way, if you can do a squat with a weight twice yours, then you have sufficiently developed muscles in order to easily perform slam dunks. Try this a couple of times a month.
3. 3 Practice dribbling with as much time as possible. Practice dribbling the ball low, with your back straight and not looking at the ball. Learn to dribble well in a variety of ways. For example, run 15 meters with two balls, doing a low dribble, then a high dribble, then a medium dribble. Then dribble the ball with a crossover, then behind the back, with a twist, etc., etc.
4. 4 Don't be afraid to make risky passes. Throw a high ball over the defenders to your teammates at the ring, and make sure that the defense cannot catch it.
5. 5 Become a leader. Remember that point guard are the leading players in basketball, so always think about the other players on your team. Don't overspeed the game.If you are in good shape, this does not mean that the rest of the players are also well prepared. After seeing how the other player made a mistake, talk to him, explain what he is doing wrong and tell him what needs to be corrected. Also, when playing basketball, you will need to implement game situations that allow your teammates to score better and have a better goal percentage.
6. 6 Try to show all your abilities. Try to earn at least 10 points and assists, and if you can rebound then DO MULTIPLE REBOARDS.
7. 7 Take on some of these tips:
8. 8 Try to distract two players or grab the attention of a defender covering a player on your team and earn a successful pass by making a pass to that player who will throw the ball into the net.
9. 9 Make unexpected moves. Try to make sure that the defense does not know what you are going to do. Just don't make stupid surprises.
10. 10 If you are about to score, then shoot as accurately as possible. You must do open throws, backboard throws. Make throws close to the backboard and slam dunks, and don't let the defender block you.

Tips

• Don't be overly nervous. Most people play better if they are not nervous.
• Be sure to work to improve your physical condition.
• Practice maneuvering around objects or other people. A good point guard must always be ready to dodge and dodge the defense.
• Don't force your teammates to make bad shots or passes.
• Aim to earn ten rebounds and around 8 points per game. Imagine how much simpler your role on the set would be. You will be given more minutes, the whole team will like you and you will still be its star.
• Play always rhythmically and constantly change the speed, otherwise you will become predictable.
• A good point guard must be good at dribbling. Train your lead!
• Chat with teammates at both ends of the court. They need to know what scenario you are playing.
• Your number 1 task in the game is to make PERFORMANCE PASS, not earn points. Your team won't like it if you try to score all the time, but that doesn't mean you have to PASS right away. Trust me, if you do a lot of assists, then you will become a specialist in this, and if this happens, then you will not need to earn 20 points per game to become a star.
• Do not be silent! Your teammates gain confidence from you and reward your efforts by scoring from your assist.

Warnings

• Drink plenty of water. 3.5 liters and you are not afraid of dehydration. In addition, water is the most effective dietary supplement possible, since all muscle reactions in the body occur only in the presence of water.
• Always be humble after a game or practice, even if you are the star of the team.
• Don't praise yourself as the best player on your team after following the step-by-step instructions here. Teammates won't like it.
• Get enough rest, at least 8 hours of rest per night.
