Don't show up late. Before tryouts start, don't goof around with your friends trying to shoot the ball from as far away from the basket as possible. This is the time to warm up. Work on your skills. Not paying attention will not sit well with the Coach.
Coaches like to see hustle all the time.
I always loved the off-season because it gave me the chance to evaluate how I performed during the season and to work on improving aspects of my game. The off-season is the perfect time to get in shape and stay in shape. I've received so many e-mails from young athletes wanting to know how they can impove their foot speed, increase their vertical jump and get in better overall shape. I was impressed with how much time he took in developing his workout, so I asked if he would mind me posting it on my web site for other athletes to benefit from. He gave me permission, so here is his full workout.
