Answer 1

Yes , Dedication is what you need . You are 14 Thats young , i had a guy at 17 big guy , didnt / couldnt play the game right. I trainned him cause he had the right mind for it (dedication) , we went on days hours months until he became a basketballer, it was for 6 to 7 months , and know he's in college got a scholorship for Arizona. so Dedication and some drills and also , look them up you'll find heaps ,

Good luck with it all

Answer 2

Shoot and get someone to coach you.

Answer 3

Ok the main thing is are you truly dedicated. Just saying it and doing it is totally different. But if you do want to watch the pros and learn from them and apply it on the court. Just get to the gym and you don't even have to play ball just do pushups and situps and work on your vertical. As far as drills make them up. That way you can do it the way you think you can do it but don't go soft on it.

Answer 4

shoot alot

and practice dribbling really low and quick

and try dribbling through your legs

around your legs

then do crushers or suicides (same thing) to get into sprinting shape

take long shots

do lots of layups

both right and left sides

dribble alot with both hands

Answer 5

my coach always told me to dripple around with a tennis ball because it helps with handling the ball better. and if you just play around by yourself like doing fake passes then going to the hoop will get you used to doing it in a real game. plus you need to be in shape so you'll need to run or something like i run everymorning for 3 miles.. my coach also makes me stand on my toes for awhile to build up my leg muscles..hopes it helps
