When i play games with new people that haven't seen me play before, i get paranoid if i miss shots or what not and not scoring and putting up the numbers i normally do i don't really wanna get labeled as crap because of one or two quiet games i just don't know how i should feel and go about it because i know once every blue moon ima have these quiet crappy games and im not to sure how to deal with them! :(

I have basketball tryouts in little then a month im really nervous and scared i don't make the team i know most of the players on the team and ive been told by other people to try out because i will be a sure in to make it.. but im thinking what if i dont make it? everyone is expecting me to make it, the players on the team allready think i will and my friends do but what if the coach doesnt see any skill in me or doesnt like how i play and i dont get on the team im really nervous... i train atlest 4 - 6 times aweek always over 2 hours i avg 18 ppg in domestic leagues, ive been told by many people that im pretty good i just have no confidence in myself some times :( and if i dont make it to try outs its gunna take a real big hit in it more what can i do to over come all of this?

Hey guys i sprained my right ankle really bad and wasn't able to walk for 2 months and i spraned my left ankle slighty was out of action for a week and i sprained my right ankle 6 months ago and my left about 4 i have been wearing ankles brace's ever since when should i stop wearing these i tryed taking them off but i slighty hurt my ankle and i feel so much more confident in playing basketball with ankle braces on but its getting annoying have to put them on it takes forever so when should i stop wearing them if i should?

Hey i train basketball atlest 5 - 6 times aweek sometimes from 10 am - 5 pm i play in a mens division and a under 18's division i play point/shooting guards in mens, and center/power forward in under 18s i put up around 18.7 ppg in mens and 5 assist and in under 18s 7 assist and 10 ppg i feel like when people watch me play under 18s i seem as a guy who can not dribble or play but in mens i feel like a star because im a guard my coach in under 18s gets me to play point every now and again but because im the tallest on the team i usally play in the post and i hate it! how can i get over the fact im not as good in under 18's which is alot easier compared to mens!!

i sprained my left ankle last night iv never sprained my left ankle, but if sprained my right many times real bad to but i had a ankle brace on my right foot, anyways i sprained my left ankle going for a rebound and i got knocked and landed awkwardly i sat out for 10 mins icing and went back in the basketball game being productive and hitting two clutch free throws i went home iced it for a bit then wraped it for the rest of the night it wasnt that bad i was walking fine after wards it wasnt even swollen but by the morrning its swelled up a lil bit and im limping on it iv got a game in 2 days im gunna miss trainning tonight is there anyway i can play this other game?

I had a minor sprain 2 weeks ago on my ankle but before that i had a major sprain tearing most of my ligaments in my ankle, i could walk the 2nd day of the minor sprain it really wasn't that bad iv started playing basketball again seeing as i can sprint run jump and do all of that without any pain, but after a hard trainning session with my team i came home and my ankle was swollen whys this?

I sprained my ankle badly 2 months ago and started playing basketball again 2 weeks ago i re sprained

my ankle but not as bad a week ago, i was able to walk on it the next day, im able to run and jump, and do all of that but my ankle hurts if i put pressure on the side i sprained it on i have a basketball game in 5 days i'm wondering if i should play or not. iv been doing stretches to make my ankle stronger i have now brought an ankle brace, and i played a pick up game 2 days ago but i wasnt able to drive or play proper defense because it hurt but now its not so bad im not sure what to do?

5 days ago i started playing basketball after a really bad ankle sprain i was an idiot and didnt wear any sort of brace, and just to my luck i went to keep the ball in play from going out of bounds and as i was in the air i landed on my sore foot, i didnt land bad i just landed on my tippys toes and on a bad enough angle for me to be in pain and not walk, i can walk now its no where near as bad as the one i had before, i do have a limp but, and i have a basketball game on monday but im thinking about missing that and going trainning on tuesday and playing thursday but i want to know if theres any quicker methods to healing an ankle sprain?

The other day me and my buds had a pick up game with these 3 other guys, my friends arnt really up to my level of skill so we lost badly.. but i wasn't concerned with that i was concerned on how the player i was on was just shredding me up iv vs'd alot of player one on one but this guy was by far the best he was so quick his first step was so good, he made me look silly as hell he bounced the ball threw my legs and got a score.. i was just coming back off a sprained ankle so i wasnt as mobile but still.. how do i guard guys like this in the future? i was doing everything in the book looking at his body not the ball he only got past me 1 or 2 times but he was so quick at crossing me up.

Hey i'm just recently getting over a grade 2 ankle sprain in my right ankle where i have had to have a half cast on and be on crutches, anyways my ankle starting to heal well and i can walk on it but not yet run, this is the second time this has happened in a span of a year it happened first in reebok zig slash, and then again a month ago in my nike hyperdunks 2011, so im just wondering what would be a better shoe for my ankle?

Hi I'm 16 and i was playing basketball 4 - 5 times aweek game monday trainning tuesday game thursday trainning almost all day saturday and a shoot around sometimes during the week, anyways about 3 - 4 weeks ago i Sprained my ankle and tore ligaments in my ankle,i had to get a half cast and i just recently got off crutches i can walk but it hurts to run still, i'm dying to play basketball i don't think i will be for the next 2 - 3 weeks, iv been dribbling the ball by myself and shooting flat footed but its not the same, will i lose alot of skill during this time of not playing? thanks
