What is Decision-Making in Basketball?

Acting in a manner that is deeply influenced by the surrounding environment and the opportunities and constraints it presents.

Experts are highly impactful for their teams. Skilled players who are not experts at the game have a difficult time performing well consistently, and impactfully. It’s easy to believe that possessing skills like ball handling and shooting will allow you to influence the game. However, many players fail to perform because they overlook very essential components to performing in games like strategy and a framework.

Younger players are highly susceptible to this dynamic. After years of playing and developing, young players under 20 years old become capable of performing electric moves and making shots. But, because they have not absorbed and explored the game enough, their decision-making falls behind, making it difficult to perform these skills.

Players with incredible talent struggle to impact games consistently because they don’t have an approach that prioritizes responding to what’s surrounding them. Don’t fall into this trap and instead become the expert. You’ll improve your gameplay, confidence, and ability to influence the competition.
