The Miami Suns Academy 11U squad is back in action, and this video says it all. More than just basketball, it's about growth, progress, and the joy of watching our children flourish. With a strong finish to the tournament, these young athletes reminded us that true winning isn’t just about the scoreboard—it’s about the journey, the teamwork, and the love we pour into watching them shine. This one’s for every parent, coach, and supporter who sees the bigger picture: life through the lens of the game. ]]> Fri, 11 Apr 2025 11:42:00 EDT https://dev.ballertube.com/video/7060/watch-them-grow-miami-suns-academy-11u-close-out-with-heart/ https://dev.ballertube.com/video/6884/king-solomon-leads-5u-miami-lakes-united-to-victory-with-goal-and-assist/
King Solomon and his 5U youth soccer team, part of the Miami Lakes United Soccer League, battled hard in their third game of the season, securing an impressive 4-1 victory. King Solomon played a pivotal role, scoring one of his team's four goals and delivering a crucial assist. Check out the photosets to relive the action! ]]> Thu, 23 Jan 2025 14:29:00 EST https://dev.ballertube.com/video/6884/king-solomon-leads-5u-miami-lakes-united-to-victory-with-goal-and-assist/ https://dev.ballertube.com/video/793/the-truth-about-basketball-training-for-young-players/
Take a look at this clip of Zach Lavine this past summer working out with the high level trainer Jordan Lawley. There are a couple of interesting things about this, and the video is on Youtube if you want to check out the whole thing. The main thing I want you to notice from Lavine’s workout is something that I think is missing from a lot of the way younger players work on getting better these days. Notice how in almost every rep, Lavine is being guarded. Now these aren’t fully live reps, meaning the defense isn’t necessarily trying to stop Lavine. But by having defense, it makes Lavine have to think through the play, and make decisions. Instead of just doing the same exact rep of something 10 times in a row with no variation, having a dummy defender pushes you to be more creative. In fact, this past summer in an interview Payton Pritchard revealed that he pays overseas players to come stay with him in the offseason, and play defense on him for a few hours a day. He said he likes to get 300-500 live reps in almost everyday in the offseason, as well as getting his normal shooting and ball handling in. Maybe Pritchard will see this video and decide to fly me out to Boston this summer to play defense on him, but I have a feeling he wants to go against guys who might be able to get a stop.
