ok i am an awesome bball player but i get nervous when boys come and watch me play.. im afraid they will laugh if i miss a sot or somthin....what should i do...help me and FAST

Well since you are an awesome player then you know what it is like to be in the zone and like you are just so focused that you don't notice other things around you. Try to get into that zone and go out and do your thing. You know no one is perfect and makes every single shot so don't worry about that and if they do laugh cause you miss one then challenge them to see if they can out shoot you or beat you in a one-on-one game so that way in the end you are the one laughing at them because they just got beat.

Im on JV bball..and our coach flipped out on us a couple days ago. I dont mean just yelling..but he started hitting the bleachers behind him...quite scary. He thretened to quit.Hes frustrated because we arent doing things right..we are an ok team but we arent good.
I like him as a coach..he just has his little incidents. Is there anything i can do to make him not quit?

The first thing you should do is meet as a team with players only and talk about what is going on. Try to come up with a solution among yourselfs. If he is gettin mad because the little things are not being done right, you should ask questions about what he wants done. But the thing is its not only when you mess up, like if you see him get mad at one of the other girls be like, coach what would you like us to do when that happens or can you explain it again so i can get a better understanding. Now if that doesn't woek and he is one of those coaches that just loses it then it is a personal problem and you should go talk to the varstiy coach about the situation. The main thing is you need to try to work it out "in house" meaning within the j.v. team its self before you go to other people and what also might help is sitting down with the coach and talking about what the problem is and what you as players or him as a coach can do to help fix the situation.
