Imagine you’re sitting on the bench, watching the game unfold. You want to be out there, making an impact. You tell yourself, Next game, I’ll try harder. I’ll be more aggressive. I’ll take my shot when I get the chance. But when the opportunity comes, nothing changes. You’re still hesitant, still struggling to stand out. Why? Because playing time isn’t about trying harder—it’s about being prepared. There’s a big difference between trying to play more and training to earn more. Players who go from benchwarmers to contributors don’t just hope for more minutes—they train for them. Starters who become game-changers don’t just show up—they put in extra work. If you want to play more, score more, and impact the game, you have to train like it. That’s where EYG Basketball comes in.
