Plateau at 6 months — what helped me push through

Around the 6-month mark in Basketball I hit a wall. My progress with pick and roll wasn't improving and I felt like I was spinning wheels. It's apparently common but that didn't make it less frustrating.

What helped: going back to fundamentals with my coach, spending more time drilling shot clock awareness slowly rather than at full speed, and watching Michael Jordan breakdowns to understand what I was missing. the pick and roll clicking in a real game eventually returned once I let go of trying to advance too fast. height disadvantage in some positions was actually the underlying cause of the plateau — once I addressed it, things moved again. If you hit that wall, stick with it. It passes.
