If I could go back and talk to young Max I would say this ! Talented AND dedicated hoopers are everywhere … especially NC. If you consider yourself serious or have goals for your career, understand the difference between work and play. Or it will be hard to grow. taken in Charlotte, North Carolina by @maxspurling4

Participation.

Yeah you show up to class. Show up to practice. To games.

That’s cool and all. But are you really present? Or just there?

When I was in middle school I had a coach completely change my shot. Right elbow tucked in. Left hand perfectly on the side. I felt very rigid. Robotic. No control over the ball. Overthinking like crazy. And of course, my shot did not improve that way.

Yes form plays a role. But what good is form and outdated shooting “tips” without an understanding of positive energy distribution up and towards the rim? We shoot with our whole body. We shoot with fluidity. And ideally all that allows us to shoot with confidence.

Got this idea from @boris_boguslavsky! Had to try it myself and it was just as challenging as I had anticipated.

Similar to a tennis ball, the stick took my focus away from the basketball. This felt even more difficult because I had to do more than catch. I had to absorb the force from the stick and rebalance before I proceed. A lot more core was required.

Also having a fixated amount of time to transfer the ball from hand to hand forced me to trust my handle and instinctually throw up my off hand.

Y’all gotta give this one a try 😮‍💨 taken in Charlotte, North Carolina by @maxspurling4

Synchronicity. Rhythm. Timing. Accuracy. Accountability. Dexterity. Coordination. Communication. Community.

You may be thinking I’m reaching. That’s it’s just a passing drill. That it’s not that deep.

If you look hard enough, it is that deep. Maybe it’s only as deep as you are serious.

Live in the details, and separate yourself as a result.
