V-Cone Shooting Drill / Off the Dribble .merritt_33
The V-Cone Shooting Drill is elite because it builds real game scoring habits — not just stationary shooting. 🏀🔥
At Buckets&Blessings, we use this drill to develop:
* Shot creation
* Tight handles
* Footwork
* Conditioning
* Balance
* Confidence under pressure
Every rep forces players to change direction, create separation, and rise into shots at game speed. That’s what translates to real in-game buckets.

He tried to copy me?😂😂

EP.20 Mycah Lambert was on 🔥🔥🔥 at This Buckets&Blessings Workout! His Shifty yet quick handles had him scoring consecutively!

Velocidad sin control no es talento… es pérdida. 🔥🏀
El verdadero dominio del baloncesto comienza cuando puedes driblar a máxima velocidad, mantener el control absoluto del balón y cambiar de ritmo en una fracción de segundo sin perder equilibrio ni visión de juego.Porque cuando puedes controlar el balón a máxima velocidad, puedes controlar el juego. Como dice la Palabra de Dios:“Todo lo puedo en aquel que me fortalece.” — Filipenses 4:13 (KJV) Entrenamos con propósito. Entrenamos con disciplina. Entrenamos con fe.

There chemistry is unmatched as the duo finds each other again for a deep 3 on the next position, in this weeks !

Repetition builds confidence. Every shot, every dribble, every rep trains your body and mind to move with purpose when the lights come on. 🏀 What you repeat in practice becomes who you are in the game — that’s muscle memory. Stay consistent, stay locked in, and trust the process God’s leading you through. 💪🙏

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” — Galatians 6:9 (KJV)

Colossians 3:23 (KJV) reminds us, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” That means every drill, every sprint, every rep is a chance to give God your best. When you train with purpose, intensity, and faith, you’re not just preparing for the game—you’re honoring the gift God gave you. In today’s generation, many players have a total package, but can’t perform their package at game speed because they train in a nonchalant manner, 50% speed….Give 100% in practice so that when the lights come on, you’re not hoping—you’re ready. Faith, focus, and full effort always lead to growth and glory in His name.

When fatigue sets in, that’s when your discipline, heart, and faith start to separate you from the next player. Anyone can go hard when they’re fresh, but true greatness shows up when the body says “stop,” and your spirit says, “keep going.”

Basketball teaches you how to push through that wall — not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. When you keep working through exhaustion, you’re building habits that prepare you for the fourth quarter of both the game and life. God often tests our endurance in the same way — not to break us, but to build us. He allows those tired moments to reveal how much we trust His strength instead of our own.

As Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) reminds us:
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

That verse hits different when you’re drenched in sweat, lungs burning, legs shaking — because that’s when you realize: your strength runs out, but God’s doesn’t. Training while tired builds the ability to dig deeper, to lean into faith, and to trust that what God is shaping in you is far greater than what you feel in the moment.

You don’t train tired just to be tougher — you train tired so you can glorify God through your resilience. Every extra rep, every sprint when your legs are gone, becomes an act of worship and discipline. You’re showing Him that you’re willing to give your all, even when it hurts.

Training with game like contact is a big essential key to elevating your game. Believe it or not, basketball is a high contact sport, the more you can maneuver control, and manipulate the contact, the easier it is to get to your spots in order to be productive with the basketball. Accustom yourself to training with game like Contact on a daily basis with dribbling and finishing around the Rim and noticed how much easier absorbing Contact during the game becomes for you.
