Just accept the schooling, and learn to have a good time doing it. Life is too precious to spend it mad. Sincerely, Olympia Dear Olympia, I really love basketball and I just began playing AAU ball at the beginning if this month. N.C. Dear Sarah, It is commendable that you have recognized an area of your game that could use some improvement, and that you are seeking ways to work on it. Quickness is an important aspect to a guard's game, but not the most important.
Intelligence is the most important aspect.
If you are a smart player, you can make yourself appear quicker by making good moves. One thing I have always heard in my career is to make a play you must fake a play. That means give ball fakes, jab steps, and head fakes when you are trying to create plays for yourself and others. Fake one way and go opposite. Timing is important, as well as looking at the basket, or the person to whom you are faking a pass.
