Bulk up a little if you want to be a power forward.  Also work on your quickness and jumping ability.  You are going to have to work harder to jump higher since you are at a disadvantage in height.  The extra mass (muscle of course) will help you to box out the taller players.  \n\nGood luck.  Work hard.

When I play pick-up games with my friends, I like to work the post too.  I just usually do double-pumps, spins, and just kick it out when I can't get anything going.  Just try sweeping hooks and they should help.  A fadeaway turnaround is good when you don't want to get blocked.  It's a good move to have but I would say work on your hook shot because that thing comes in handy.  How tall are you and what level do you play (h.s., college, street, etc.)?

To get better you need to practice by your self everyday . You need to hit balls at least 2 to 3 hours every day. Do the L shape practice on the corners. Do the circle practice in the center of the table with out the cue ball leaving the circle.To give you a standard of what your up against. I played this guy nine ball. He ran 10 racks of nine ball on me. When I finally got a shot it was a  hard bank shot and missed then he ran 20 more racks of nine ball on me. These guy are out there. And hes not the best . Hope that helps

Several suggestions for how to improve your game off the tee.\n\n1) Try using a 3-wood instead of a driver. For most high handicap golfers the difference in distance is not a big change, but the accuracy and consistency improve dramatically.\n\n2) Slow and steady on the back swing. While you need to get the club in motion, having a fast backswing just screws up your balance. Practice by taking the club back very slowly and you will see quick improvement.\n\n3) Let the club do the work! Overswinging will only result in topping the ball or having a wicked slice or hook. Establishing a nice easy rythmn will give you the most consistent swing.

hey there!\n\n - always have a set amount of steps for your approach. If the 3 step approach is most comfortable for you, then stick with it and never change it. The 3 step approach is the easiest so i'll talk about that one. \n\n so start off by standing a little to the left of the out-of-bounds line and right behind the 10-foot line. \n\nEven before taking the first step, sort of lean you body forward to get you started and ready for the hit, and also, if you're caught off guard or you take off a little late, then your forward-lean will compensate and help you get to the ball quicker.\n\n1)  First, since you're right handed, take a step forward with your left foot. And as you take the first step, raise your arms up and horizontal like the zombies in movies (you arms should be straight out and about chest-height).\n2)  Then, take a stride with your right foot and as you do that, kind of crouch down with your hands swung behind you. So, i guess, jump into a crouching position with your arms behind you.\n3)  Now that you've swung your arms back behind you and you're low to the ground, simultaneously swing your arms up and jump straight up off of both feet. Then get the amazing ten-foot kill, or a tool is nice.\n\nextra tips:\n\n     The best time to start the approach is right when the ball reaches the setter's hands. But don't strictly leave right when the setter touches the ball. If your timing is off, either leave earlier/later, or just talk to your setter and work things out. That's what teammates are supposed to do in volleyball- talk.\n\nSpiking- When you hit, put your left hand in front, and you right arm bent upwards behind your head. (when you make contact with the ball, the it should be at the highest point of your swing. In other words, the ball should be at the point where your arm isn't bent when you swing.) Then, as you make contact, follow through by snapping your upper body forwards and snapping your wrist downwards. This gives your hit more power and top spin.\n \nI hope that all of my tips and recommondations are clear and easy to understand. \n\nGood luck with everything and God Bless!

practice one skill at a time, with a lot of repetition.  make sure you are doing it correctly first.  also play a lot of street basketball to get used to the game.

Do uphill biking exercises, this will improve not only your jumping ability but also your quick step acceleration.  By attacking uphill on my bike, I was able to jump about 6" higher and my speed was mostly unmatched on most courts I've walked on to.  You want to do 1-2 hour uphill biking for about 3 or 4 times a week.  You'll definitely see an improvement in your ups.  \n\nA side note: To dunk a ball, you've also got to be able to get a good grip the ball.  Its much harder to dunk if you can't palm the ball.  Dunking takes a lot of energy, I find that layups are just as effective even though it isn't as flashy, but you'll stay in the game for much longer.

I don't really thing there are any tricks to play better, the only tip that I can give you is to practice. I think it all comes down to that. When I used to play, I practiced 3-4 hours a day and I played pretty well... now that I haven't played in a few years I can't even hit the backboard -_-'. :) but yea, just practice if you really want to impress your friends.

you need to loosen up first.  take a deep breath, then figure out for yourself how you can be more aggressive.  does it mean posting up? driving the basket? its something that only you and your coach and team can figure out

I'm not a player, but I've done well in my day with the ladies.  The best thing to do is just go up to her and say "hi".  Maybe give her a compliment on her hair or shoes.  After that, keep it moving.  Don't gawk or look desperate.  She will get the idea and if she is at all interested, she will let you know in some way shape or form.

Well you should definitely practice a lot. You also might want to start playing on a summer team. I play defense and I joined a summer team and I feel like I am improving

focus on executing simple fundamentals - these are the only things you can consistently control in a game.  See yourself in the flow of the game starting from \n1. rebounding or stealing the ball to gain possession - anticipate and screen out. \n2. offense - ball handling, passing, shooting\n3. defense - moving your feet, seeing man and ball, communicate, anticipate, help and recover. \n\nthe cycle repeats over and over so see yourself doing it like an olympic skier sees the course before skiing down it.
