Basic Fundamentals of Basketball

Aside from being a great spectator sport, basketball is also a great way to get in shape, learn teamwork, and to attain self discipline. Being that it's not a frightfully difficult game to play, and that it's a lot of fun, it is often a popular choice among those looking for a new sport to play.

If you find you are interested in getting started in basketball, or you are just looking to give your game a little lift, there are some basic fundamentals of basketball you should be aware of.

1) Cardiovascular workouts are your best friend. Your legs, heart and lungs are your most valuable organs during a game. You will need to make sure you have lots of endurance, healthy leg muscles and plenty of speed. Otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the game, and you could get injured.

2) Strengthen your peripheral vision. When you play, you need to be aware of everything around you. On top of that, you need to be able to dribble the ball without having to stare at it the whole time. Do plenty of exercises to strengthen your peripheral vision and remember to keep your eyes up.

3) Learn to play every position. By learning them all, you will not only gain a proper respect for your teammates, but you will be better able to understand how to work as a team.
