SOFT HANDS = STRONG FINISHES.

@aaliyah.bucket5 has been struggling with her finishing in games, and sometimes it’s about more than just hitting the white box on the backboard. It comes down to how comfortable we are with the basketball and how we grip it during our gather.

Today, we focused on strengthening her forearms to improve her grip and control, allowing her to take pressure off her fingertips and develop a softer touch around the rim. The goal is to finish through contact, stay composed, and finish at an elite level. 🎯

TRAINING TIP 💡: One way to challenge a muscle is to fatigue it before working on a specific skill. This forces you to focus on control and technique when your body is tired, helping you prepare for the demands of a real game.

The details matter. The little things separate good from great. 🏀🔥 by @reaves_training

Phenom Girls Basketball National Camp 🏀

I am so grateful for the opportunity to compete against high-level players, learn from great coaches, and show what I can bring to the court. I’m proud of the work I’ve put in, but I know there’s still more to prove. Just getting started. 🤍

Thank you to all of the coaches who took the time to coach me, give me feedback, and connect with me throughout camp. I truly appreciate you all!

ESTABLISH YOUR PRESENCE.

You always want to establish your presence on the court. Especially when you’re playing on a team with a lot of talent.

The difference-maker is learning how to stay one step ahead of the defense.

Don’t just react to what the defense gives you. Anticipate it.
Read the floor. Create an advantage. Make your decision before the defense has time to adjust.

Being one step ahead can take your game—and your impact—to the next level.

Think the game. Read the game. Control the game. by @reaves_training

Being comfortable with the ball is extremely important for a guard. A combo guard has to understand when it’s time to score, facilitate, get into the gaps, and create opportunities for others.

Aaliyah is a scorer at heart, but she’s so much more than just a scorer. Today’s focus was on keeping her dribble alive, changing directions, creating separation, and not always going straight to the basket.

The goal is to become more unpredictable with the ball and make the defense react to her and not the other way around.

As you can see in the last two videos, she was making progress and really starting to see the game differently. She was beginning to recognize the gaps, slow down, keep her dribble, and make reads instead of automatically attacking the basket. That’s the growth we’re looking for. by @reaves_training

Being elite means elite conditioning. But basketball shape isn’t just running miles and sprints. Pyramid reps is a great way to get in game shape. by @reaves_training
