Think about the last time you went to the gym to train. What percentage of the time were you actually<\/strong> doing specific drills?  And what were you doing instead of those drills? When answering these questions, many players will say they were \u201cshooting around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShooting around\u201d is the number 1 killer of training productivity<\/strong>. It\u2019s unfocused, lazy, aimless and a waste of time. A focused, 20-minute workout is more productive than two hours of \u201cshooting around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not going to preach from my high horse, and pretend like I\u2019ve never been lazy during a workout. I have, and I still occasionally end up \u201cshooting around\u201d. In high school I would go to the gym without a plan or any idea of what I wanted to accomplish. I would jog up and back a few times, dribble around and shoot around aimlessly. I\u2019d trot after missed shots and move at half speed for most of the workout. Even though I was spending two hours at the gym, I wasn\u2019t accomplishing much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, with the help of outstanding coaches and mentors, I revamped my workout habits. Once I made the appropriate changes, my game completely transformed. I improved exponentially and would like to share what I learned throughout that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to eliminating the \u201cshooting around\u201d phenomenon is minimizing decision fatigue<\/strong>. Each decision you make exacts a biological toll. Over time, these decisions eat away at your finite mental resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re mentally drained from making a bunch of decisions, one of two things will happen. You\u2019ll act recklessly because you don\u2019t have the mental capacity to fully analyze your decision, or you\u2019ll avoid making a decision at all to save energy. This second energy-saving technique is what leads to \u201cshooting around.\u201d To ease your mental strain, you avoid deciding what drill to do, for how many reps, etc. You’ll end up aimlessly floating around the court wasting time, “shooting around.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans have a limited amount of willpower. Once it is used up, succumbing to temptation becomes easier. In this case, the temptation is to ease up on your workout takes over. You can\u2019t rely on your willpower to consistently create great workouts. It simply doesn\u2019t work. So, if minimizing decision fatigue is how we can avoid \u201cshooting around,\u201d how do we do it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five ways to stay focused and avoid “shooting around” syndrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1) Create a workout plan for each training session<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A workout plan should have 3 factors: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. A list of each drill you will do
2.\u00a0how many reps (or time) you will do each drill
3. the length of rest time in between each drill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be as specific as possible. Instead of writing \u201cStationary Ball Handling,\u201d include the exact exercises within that drill. For example, \u201cStationary Ball Handling: crossovers, between the legs, behind the back, double crossovers, killer crossover. (20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, x2)\u201d This level of specificity eliminates any indecision and allows you to focus all your willpower on working hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your workout plan must be followed religiously. Not fully committing to each workout plan defeats the purpose. If you have to decide whether or not to do each drill on your workout plan, you\u2019ll still be making unnecessary decisions and fatiguing your mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Workout early in the day<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Even mundane daily decisions can be a drain on your willpower. What clothes to wear, what to have for breakfast, whether to watch a youtube video or go on Facebook, what to order on your burrito, etc. By the end of the day, you\u2019ve made so many decisions and analyzed so many trade-offs that you’re mentally exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why even the people with the strongest willpower can struggle with their weight. They may be able to refuse sugary cereals and pastries in the morning but by the time night rolls around, it\u2019s hard to ignore the tasty looking tub of cookie dough ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can do your workouts in the morning, your brain will be fresh and your willpower fully stocked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Do your least favorite exercises first<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I despise pure ball handling drills, so I’ve made a concerted effort to get them out of the way first. I\u2019ve actually created an entirely separate workout for my ball handling drills that I do in the mornings. That way I can\u2019t delay them until the end of the workout where I end up ignoring them. During these morning workouts I don\u2019t shoot a single shot; this way I\u2019m not tempted to begin shooting around (which I enjoy much more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidenote: if you don\u2019t like a certain drill, there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s exactly what you need.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Take a hit of sugar<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Now I don\u2019t recommend crushing a king size Snickers before a workout, but glucose has been shown to restore willpower. If you\u2019re feeling exhausted or just had a long day, a small dose of glucose can give your mind the pick me up it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fruits like oranges, apples and bananas are great options. But Gatorade, Vitamin Water, Power Bars and Clif Bars will do the trick too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Develop Workout Habits<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve talked at length about the power of habits<\/a> and how to develop them<\/a> in previous posts, so I\u2019ll keep it brief. The idea is that habits eliminate the necessity for decisions because they are automatic responses. By developing workout habits, you conserve your precious willpower. Instead of deciding whether or not to force yourself to train today, find a workout partner and schedule consistent workout times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShooting around\u201d is the number 1 killer of workout productivity. By following these five tips you can avoid “shooting around” and create purposeful and productive training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
