Question
hello im trying out for 9th grade basketball and i just wanna ask what type of exercises do i need to do and how can i get the coaches attention ?

Answer
Kell,

I can't tell you what exercised to do, but coaches notice hustle. You don't always have to be the best player. If your shot isn't going down, then make sure you play awesome defense and that you show you have other qualities. Coaches don't need 5 scorers on the floor. They need scorers as well as defenders and players that can use their head and play smart. They look for leaders too. Don't ever let the coach see you get down on yourself. Just work hard, and you will do fine.

Good Luck.
