Answer 6

you just have to train... get in the weight room.. trust me at your age start early in the weight room cuz it will benefit you later on when u play in highschool..dont ever be scared to shoot the ball or drive it in..be fearless!..exercise your legs for jumping.. so that way when you take shots you can hang in the air longer and you have a less chance of getting blocked.. hope this helped!

Answer 7

work on shooting with someone who could block you, have them give you tips on what to do to not get blocked, the only way to get better is to practice what your bad at.

good luck
