8. Making good decisions. Recently a basketball expert said that when a player has the basketball, he's frequently making about 10 to 15 decisions in his head every 20 seconds. For example, should I pass, dribble or shoot? If I pass, who to? What kind of pass? How hard? Should I fake first? What should I do if I pass? The game of basketball forces players to make decisions. Some players learn from what the coaches say, and for others, it takes actual experience.
8.做出正确的决定。最近,有一位篮球专家表示,当一个球员拿到篮球时,通常每20秒在脑子里做10到15个决定。例如,我应该传球,运球还是投篮?如果我过去了,应该给谁?我该怎么样传球?难度有多大?我应该做假动作吗?如果我过去了该怎么办?篮球比赛迫使球员做出决定。有些球员从教练的话中学到东西,而对其他人来说,这需要实际经验。
9. Preparing for and meeting challenges. How do you get ready for your opponents? Do you prepare a written plan, put in extra effort, and make the most of your practice time? If a coach makes the connections, it's easy for players to see that preparing for a tough, cross-town rival in basketball is similar to preparing for a tough math test. Both take a plan, extra effort, and commitment.
9.准备和迎接挑战。为了应对对手,你应该做何准备?你是否准备了一份书面计划、付出额外的努力,并最大程度地利用你的训练时间?如果一个教练让他的团队建立了联系,那么球员们很容易就会发现,为应对一个难对付的、其他城市的篮球对手做准备,就像准备一场艰难的数学考试一样。二者都需要计划、额外的努力和投入。
10. Working within a system requires adjustments. Most coaches will have at least a general set of rules for how the team should conduct their play on the court. These rules, along with the rules for the game of basketball, constitute a system for the players. Through the course of the season, players learn how to adjust their style of play to the system.
10.在一个体系中训练需要做出调整。大多数教练至少会有一套关于球队如何在球场上进行比赛的规矩。这些规矩和篮球比赛规则一起,构成了一个球员的体系。在整个赛季中,球员们都在学习如何调整他们的打法来适应这个体系。
Lessons learned well at a young age stay with the players for life. Take advantage of your opportunity to have a positive influence on your players' lives. Because, it's not really about basketball.
年轻时学得好的经验会伴随球员终生。把你的机会利用好,你可以对你球员的生活产生积极的影响。因为,这和篮球无关。
