we are very similar! i am a chick and i play b-ball my bf waas suposed to see me play today so i was all excited but nervous at the same time. i had butterflies but i went out there and pretended he wasnt there! it works try it!

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 13/m and when i play bball the girls destract me 4 that same reason so what i did is only look at my player that i guard the ball and the goal it really helps

Well,if your nervous when boyz come over and they laugh at you,then you tell them to paly a game of basketball,if they have the bball game and arent afraid.

I have had that problem before. Don't worry about who is there and just play your best, because you can show the guys what you can really do, and you don't even know it.

Just pretend like they arent there! I know you'll say its hard but you know that boys can be boys by laughing like idiots. Just think to yourself you are soooo much better then them.Just member also that you should never care what the guys think bout ya. Basketball is your sport and no one can laugh at you for missing a shot when your probably better then them { i said that twice but its probably true ;} }

If you are good it really shouldn't matter they shouldn't laugh at you even if you are horable unless u miss rim everytime t hats different. But if you miss a shot and it's not like they are never gonna miss a shot anyway. Everyone misses. I hoped I helped..

I feel the exact same way!!!!!! omg i know how you feel i get so tense and i usually don't play as good as i usually do. You just HAVE to pretend they aren't there but hey at least you know some boys are coming to watch YOU
]
dont worry about it they are just guys. If you stop worrying about it chances are you will impress the heck out of them. So chill and show them how a girl play bball.
]
just think, ten years from now, are you really gonna care if they laugh?
besides, if you're not trying your hardest, they may think less of you than if you tried your hardest and missed a few...
]
Just play like you normally do. Most of the time guys think girls can't play, so use that energy as motivation instead to prove them wrong and make you play better. It might not work because every person is different and need different things to help them get over being nervous or need their own motivation, but I tried. SOrry if that's not the advice you want to hear.
]
Just ignore that they're there.
I know it might be hard.
But try.
Everyone messes up sometimes.
Even if youdo mess up, they probably won't care at all either.
As long as you try your best.

Pretend they aren't there, dance like no-one's watching- seriously and you will play the best you ever could. Block out there presence watch the ball its jsut you and the ball. Don't worry abut it- it will make it worse but don't worry about that either. They won't laugh, if they do then laugh at them when they miss something, don't worry they won't think less of you if you miss the ball. They will probabley be impressed that you are even playing
]
well just ignore them... I mean there isn't really much I can say... maybe look for one person that you like in the crowd and make sure that he's always looking at you.. or maybe get your friends to go to the games so that they can cheer u on!

Hey don't worry, guys mess up too when they play sports! Have confidence when you shoot! Pretend that they aren't even there even though they are! You could always just practice shooting in front of your friends so you can get used to people watching you! Always believe that even if you miss a shot, your guy friends won't laugh at you! Hope I helped :)

Just know that everyone misses, everyone has off days. They aren't perfect, they'd miss shots too. Even the best players miss. Just try to concentrate more on the basket than on whose watching.

bball player,
Just pretend the boys aren't there. All you have to do is focus on the game. If you mess up, just laugh about it, who cares? Most importantly, have fun!

ok look-i play bball and love it-and all the guys at our school come to watch-for a while i got that way too-but then i thought about it-as long as you play your best it doesnt matter if you miss a shot-just go out there and make the next one-and if the guys do say sum10-dont listen to them--do you see them out there playing?
]
just do your best and remember that what they think doesnt matter in the long run; if you were to watch them play a certain sport (bball, vball, baseball etc) and they were to miss, would you laugh? just tell yourself that the color of the ribbon (or size of the trophy) doesnt matter, as long as you did your best and had fun. its the acomplishing something as a team factor that counts! not if you win or not...
yeah, its fun to win, but thats not what really matters. just ignore them if they laugh at you. they are probly jealous.

you can't run your life on what others may think of you. if theres one thing i learned in life, its that no matter what, you have to stay true to yourself and just worry about what YOU have do. you may be an awesome basketball player, so keep it that way!! Don't let anyone..and i mean anyone..take that away from you and make you feel uncomfortable on the court. have fun and don't be nervous!! if you do happen to miss a shot and they laugh, then oh well. who cares? you can't worry about what others may think. you only have yourself to face in the mirror. your life is what you make of it. dont let anyone get in your head like that. good luck hunnie and have fun. if you need anything else please ask.

Well thats awesome that you are a really good bball player, but dont let your nerves make you do bad. I always get nervous when i play sports in front of boys. But have you ever watched them play? They mess up and miss shots too, and they understand if you do. So just try your hardest, keep working on your game, and pretend like they arent even there. And if you are just confident about how you play they will see it. Good Luck~
