Basketball and Mentality Anonymous 2015-12-30 05:35:26 Post No. 16620280 [Report]

Hello anons, I am on my Varsity Basketball team as a senior and I really want to do well this season to make a lasting impact.

However, I have a problem.
When we have basketball "open gyms" (glorified street ball games) , I'm one of the best on the court. I'm doing everything right and playing really well. Pretty much an unstoppable player.

During a game, on the other hand, I am not that person. I play a weaker game and don't do as much as I can. I don't feel like I've given my all like I do in an open gym.

What do you think that I'm doing wrong? Is it a mentality issue or is something else happening?

You play well when no one gives a fuck but do regular when everyone is focused.

People take these open gyms seriously. Friendships have been ruined over travel calls.

But that's besides the point. Open gyms are the only time I ever get tired and sore from running. Game days just don't have the same impact.
