Its natural to be nervy about tryouts!
> Look you already have an advantage because of your physique so why the coach would not let you in because of that I dont no!
>All you have to do is chill out @ the tryouts because when I tried out for my sports team everyone was panicing so dont! Waltz in there like you know your stuff (But not too boastful and if you can't make the shot then whatever!, let it go because the thing with a team is to get better at what you are doing as well as win matches
So top tips:
* Confident Attitude
*Know what you are doing
*Chill Out
*Focus
And if you don't get in dont take it out on anything because you know that they are missing out!!!!!
Good Luck bbes

I was in your situation when I was younger. I've played sports all my life and always ended up making the team I wanted. I played varsity as a freshman. Here is the #1 thing you can do to impress the coach.

WORK YOUR BUTT OFF!!!! Coaches LOVE hard workers. people that run to every drill. Put 110% into every drill you do will help you stand out. Hard work always pays off. I don't care how big, tall or talented your. If you are lazy and don't try hard you won't make the team. I've been in many situations where I was the best on a team. I never once had that attitute though. I made sure to always put 100% into everything. Even if it was just running liners. Effort pays off. Not only for you personally to get better. But it will impress that heck out of the people that are watching you.

Don't take your height for granted. Just work hard, focus and good things will happen.

I'm know 30 years old and have applied this to everything I do in life. I'm not only successful in the sports I play but am making a great living.

HARD WORK ALWAYS PAYS OFF AND WILL ALWAYS GET YOU NOTICED!!!!

Good luck!! Let us know how you do.

Also work your butt off but also have fun doing it. Relax out there and have fun. You can work your butt off and have fun doing it. Look at Michael Jordan. He was the hardest working man in the NBA but he LOVED IT : )

HUSTLE, HUSTLE, HUSTLE.........

honestly at this point coach doesn't care who is the best shooter, he cares about who will give him the best effort day in and day out, if you come out of the tryouts knowing that you ran the hardest you could, jumped the highest you could, and even when you were tired you kept on giving it your all..........not a lot of coaches will look past that..........he'll know that he can count on you to give him your all day in and day out, and on game days when it matters most.........

hope this helps
