"First tryout went great for me!! I was invited to second tryout. Coach liked me because I followed what you taught me about tryouts. Thanks Dre!!" - AlexI still remember tryouts day, my senior year of high school. I hadn't made the team for my first three years, though I knew I had enough game to be on the team. In fact, I felt I was better than some players who were on the damn team. But, the fact was, I hadn't proved it yet -- at least not when or where it mattered, or in front of whom it mattered. Until that happened, all the game I believed I had would remain a secret. I'd be the greatest not-on-a-team player in history. QUOTE "I hadn't proved it yet -- at least not when or where it mattered, or in front of whom it mattered. "We got out of school early on tryouts day my senior year, 12 noon, but basketball tryouts were held at the normal after-school time of 3pm. I walked to McDonald's to get a meal (this was way before I knew anything about nutrition), then came back to the school. Many of the boys who were also trying out had congregated in the auditorium to pass the time until tryouts, but I wanted to be alone. I didn't feel like talking, laughing or even listening to people. I just wanted to get my mind right for what I needed to do. I went to the 3rd floor and grabbed a chair next to my locker. I read the latest copy of SLAM magazine and bided my time. This was about to be my last chance to prove myself in basketball, my last chance to prove that all the time I'd spent on those sweltering outdoor courts had been for a purpose. I didn't want to make the basketball team. I needed to make the basketball team. QUOTE I didn't want to make the basketball team. I needed to make the basketball team. If you read my first book Buy A Game (you should read it, because it's free at DreAllDay.com/Game), you know what happened: I finally made the team my senior year, and the rest is history. I walked on in college, got recruited to another college after my freshman season, and played 9 years of professional basketball in 8 countries. During this process, in 2006, I began publishing videos to a new site called YouTube. Over the course of over 7,000 videos, many players asked questions about a shared challenge that has kept myriad players from advancing in basketball: Performing at tryouts. Some of the most common questions: -How can I best impress the coach at tryouts? -What can I do to stand out?-What position should I play at tryouts? -What if I'm not allowed to play my normal position during tryouts? -How can I get the returning players to respect my game?-What mindset should I have during tryouts? -What can I do to better my skills, with only a week's time before tryouts? -Should I get hyped up before tryouts, or remain calm and steady? -I didn't make it this year. Can you tell me exactly what I should do to get ready for tryouts next season? -I feel like my career will be over before it starts if I don't make the team -- can you PLEASE help me get ready for tryouts? To address these questions and others on the subject of basketball team tryouts, I created this workbook, 30 Days To Tryouts. How It WorksI will share with you 30 pieces of information, suggestions and calls to action that will have you ready for your next basketball tryout. The information in this workbook applies to all levels of tryouts, from middle school to professional teams. By completing this workbook, you will: -Know exactly what will be expected of you at tryouts-Understand your ideal mindset for playing your best, and know how to get into this mindset at any time-Be able to relax yourself and defeat any possible nerves or performance anxiety before tryouts -Perform to the best of your ability at tryouts, definitively securing the roster spot you covet

Conditioning and mentality together make up 90% of the game of basketball. Yet very few players spend any serious time on either unless forced to do so. This is also why 99% of basketball players will never be professional at the game. At the early season practices of practically every team I ever played on, the coach would always announce what was the #1 way anyone could guarantee themselves a spot on the team: Defense. Warming up is your way of getting the body prepared to go all-out. Just as you would warm up a rubber band pulled out of the freezer before trying to stretch it too far, tight, cold muscles are more prone to pulls, strains, and tears - all of which you don't want. If you know anything about basketball -- and I'll assume you do since you have this Handbook -- you know that no player can score all the points all the time. Maybe you don't even want to score the most on your teams. For every one player shooting, there are four other players doing something else. The more facts of the game in which you can establish yourself a s a contributor, the more ways you can impact a game, the longer you will be a valuable, sought-after basketball player.

Have you ever seen a basketball player who possessed a solid skill set for the game - ball handling, scoring, a good feel for how to play - but mentally had nothing at all? This is the player who could dominate... if he had the mind to. He could be the top scorer, shut down opponents on D, and be the main difference between winning and losing for his team. But... that's the problem: something in his Mental Game is just... missing. As you advance in levels of basketball -- and especially if you ascend to the professional level -- know this: The game becomes less about skill and more about Mentality. This workbook is basketball's Mental Game master key. By the time you're done with The 4 Mental Tools Of Basketball, you will: -Know how to push yourself to do the hardest work on your toughest, least-motivated days -Bounce back quicker than ever from setbacks, bad games, and self-defeating thoughts -Endear yourself to coaches who will come to depend on you as a leader-Be the player who puts pressure on other players to do their best, knowing they'll have to deal with youLet's get started on the most essential element of your Game.

Scorers always have a team to play for. They're the payers who get picked first, get the biggest contracts, and have the most fans. The winner of every game is determined by the score. Those who can score are commonly known as the best players. When the game is on the line, who gets the ball? The player who can score. Offensive systems are built around the best scorer's abilities. Scoring just one time can snap any player out of a slump. There's a magic to being able to create points in basketball, and those who do it well are the magicians. It's about time you joined this group. The Scoring Moves HoopHandbook covers every area of scoring, from your footwork to ball handling to finishing. You will learn how to break down defenses and defenders, creating your own opportunites when you wish, not just when you're allowed. It's time you stepped into the spotlight.

When I was a child, there were these color-by-numbers coloring books we would play with. Each page would have a picture of, say, a bear. And the bear would have different areas of its body marked by a number. There was a little box in the corner of the page that told you which colors referred to each number. So if the number "1" was green, you colored all the corresponding 1s on the page in green. Then you did the same with black, red, yellow and the rest. After coloring in all the numbered sections, you'd have a perfectly colored picture to admire. There was no thinking or real-life application necessary. Just do what the damn book said, step by step, and everything would be perfect. The Super You is not a coloring book. My goals in writing this book are to: 1) Give you insight into the phenomenon of confidence by explaining what it is, where it comes from, when you can use it to your advantage, and how it is developed, strengthened and weakened. 2) Prepare you to apply what you read in real life, learning instinctively when to use each tool in your box, since no two situations are ever exactly the same. 3) Leave you with The Super You, the version of you who has the confidence to think and say and do all of the things you've considered but haven't dared trying. That's what this book is.

Shooting spreads the floor, keeps the defense honest, and opens driving lanes for everyone. Outside of that arc, a basket is worth an extra point. Shooting skills last longer, and are more dependable, than raw athleticism. Many great players reinvent themselves as great shooters when they can no longer jump over opponents. An accurate shooter is like a magnet for the defense, forcing the opponents to commit resources to staying close to them. These reasons alone are enough to understand why every basketball team ALWAYS has an open roster spot for a reliable shooter. And you're set to become one of those players. The Scoring Moves for Shooters HoopHandbook covers everything shooting, from catch-and-shoot basics to combo dribbling moves for creating your own shot in isolation or off a pass. Open the program and get ready to add outside scoring to your basketball skill toolbox. Then decide which team you're going to play for, because you'll have a lot of options.

Personal Drive. Motivation. Inspiration. You've probably watched videos, purchased books, and heard lectures in your lifetime with the aim of acquiring those internal attributes. Yet you still don't have them at the proper levels. Why? Because they don't come from other people. They are acquired only from looking in the Mirror. I wrote The Mirror Of Motivation to move you to action for yourself -- to jump out of bed in the morning, driven and inspired to do what you want and need to do, to the point that others are inspired by seeing or even hearing about your story. No book -- The Mirror Of Motivation or any other --can enact change in your life. Only YOU can do that. This book will hold the Mirror up to you so you can start making it happen.

"The mental is to the physical as three is to one." - Napoleon Bonaparte The mental game is everything. How you approach you life mentally - your attitude - will have more impact on your success than your physical tools and abilities. In life, there are many people on both sides of the achievement spectrum: Those who perform well above their means, and those who achieve well below what their "tools" would suggest. How each of these people approaches the game of life, mentally, is the reason for each success or failure. What I am going to do with this Mental Handbook, is touch on all the issues that our minds combat in any competitive space, which is pretty much all of life, every day. From family doubting your ambitions, to choking on the big stage, to feelings of fear, to obtaining and maintaining confidence, to trash talk, and everything in between.

Most countries 'round the globe have at least one professional basketball league, and the smaller franchises may or may not be organized enough to get the paychecks actually into the players' hands every two weeks. Owner shenanigans notwithstanding, it is a real living wage, honestly earned, playing basketball and seeing the world.The fact that Dre Baldwin vaulted from a scrub amongst his high school peers to a recipient of some of these real-live basketball paychecks approaches the miraculous." - Miles Wray, McSweeny'sSince I started my website DreAllDay.com, along with all the YouTube videos, I have received many requests from players on playing pro basketball. And since the NBA has only so many positions, most of you know that overseas ball is a stronger possibility for you to continue your playing career, and it is: The NBA has 450 job positions while there are 10,000 players employed internationally (which includes Canada, Central and South America, which technically do not require going "over a sea" to get to, in case you cared). Over the years I have compiled several guides and tips for players on how to get their careers started, what to expect on the way and once they are in the door, and how to handle themselves with the on and off-court situations that come with it. Every guide comes from questions that players frequently ask me. This guidebook is a compilation of all those help & tips in one place for your quick and easy reference, which I will be updating over time as new questions come up and new information arises. If you take only one thing from this guidebook, know that professional basketball is a buyer's market: There are more candidates than there are jobs, so the people who do the hiring - the teams themselves - have the power. What this means for you is, you need to make yourself stand out. Make these coaches, agents, and managers remember you and want to know more. The Overseas Basketball Blueprint is exactly what you need to do that.

The Mental Handbook is an award-winning book. But I realize the book itself wasn't enough.I realize it's not enough to simply tell you how to build Mental Toughness, Confidence & Discipline. I know my daily Work On Your Game Podcast, though the best in its category and a giant step in the right direction, isn't going to permanently change you by itself. I know for a fact that changing your life from the inside-out, starting with your mindset and how you see YOURSELF, isn't a second-person job. No matter how much I talk to you, inspire and motivate you, nothing I say to you will have a much impact on your life as what YOU say to you. Which is why I created The Mental Workbook. Setting goals and working hard are requirements for achievement. Many people falsely believe that's all there is to it. If that's all it takes, why are so few people successful? There's more - much more - to you reaching all your goals than just having them and working every day. The Good News is, I know the exact formula for creating anything you want in life. I explain in detail how and why it works. I walk you through each step of the program. And, most importantly, I put you in position to do it yourself instead of just reading or hearing about it. This is the exact program I follow myself, still to this day. I guarantee that it works. And I DEMAND that you follow it. It's called The Mental Workbook. Let's start now.

You have the ball and see a lane to get to the basket. With a dribble or two, you cradle the ball and tense your muscles to attack the rim. Exploding with maximum force, you elevate and trow it down with such force, your defenders lean back out of the way and try avoiding being your next highlight reel victims. You land to hears gasps and get looks of awe from the spectators, who will never forget your face after what you just did. There are many facets to the game of basketball. But we all know -- being able to play and finish above the rim will make you stand out from all the others in a way that no other skill can. And, an athletic basketball player can make him or herself stand out faster and better than a player with any other skill. People like to see the show an athletic player can out on at any moment. You're the one they will line up to watch. So let's get you playing above the rim. You'll only come down when and if you want to.
