A. um i personally think that they vary differently as you go up higher in the level of your play. ill list the pros and cons of wearing basketball shoes and running shoes. basketball shoes help protect your ankles, the most vulnerable part of your body when you jump for a rebound, go for a layup, or jump in general. basketball shoes also sorta help stabilize your feet for a shot. but basketball shoes are generally bigger and heavier, and because protection is a double edged sword, it avoids making quick, long strides on your first dribble. and with basketball shoes being heavier, it might slightly impede your jump height and your speed and agility. running shoes are generally light and provides you with slightly better speed, agility and… [cont.]

What to think when you playing basketball to boost your confidence?
Q. When I m playing basketball I get nervous and disappear... except when I have sucky players on MY team then I don't... but what should I think when playing basketball to boost my confidence? Should I trash talk in my head to boost my confidence or is there something else I can do silently in my head to make me feel real good and confident playing basketball?

A. Well i think the most important thing is to believe in yourself, doesn't matter what you are thinking inside, you have to have confidence in yourself. When you are playing in a game, you make a decision and you go along with it, you should not care about what people are saying about you. The only way you will get better is if you believe in urself.

I was playing basketball and got hit in the head by an elbow?
Q. Ok so today i was playing basketball and when i tried to catch the ball i jumped back and the other guys elbow who was also catching the ball got in my way and my heat hit his elbow. It started to hurt a lot but it didn't bleed. It still kinda hurts now when i touch it. Will anything bad happen to me? I am worried.

A. Well of course it hurts. It's called a bruise. Apply ice for ten minute than apply heat for fifteen. Do this three times a day for about three days. If things get funny go see a Dr. In some very rare circumstances a bump to the head may cause very minor brain damage. I play hockey competitively and get lots of hits to the head and I am fine.

A. Anonymously call the police non-emergency line and ask what the town noise restrictions are and if there is any cut off time to loud outdoor noises. If so, ask them if this information is available online and print out a copy to show to your neighbors. If there are no restrictions, then the disappearing basketball trick is always solid, as is parking your car on the street right next to the hoop. If they hit your car, you can enjoy installing new Hydrogen-enhanced headlights.

A. As a Medical Student, when you excercise or doing something where your heart rate is at a rapid speed, blood tends to flow faster to all parts of your body including the eyes. I wouldn't worry about it unless it hurts. I would suggest seeing an Ophthamologist for that.
