I have a problem, or maybe it just takes time. My whole life is about basketball and i practice like everysingle day. I know i am good and better than most kids. I do drills and play in AAU and for school but i have problems with confidence that dont make me play bad but they dont allow me to play to my full cabability. Sometimes iam too afraid to do some things i know i can do and i dont know how to stop that.
Watch the pro's and copy what they do to the tee.Like Allen Iverson,don't back down,drive hard,bust sick moves…Do exactly what they do,and with ton's of practice,you will be an awesome basketball player.By doing just this you can get super good at any sport that you set your mind to….Tom Science 4

Don't think you should be able to play on instnict. I mean becareful about fouls ect. and not losing your temper but you should pretty much be able to know what to do at all times.

Just tell yourself that its just a game. even the greatest superstars of the sport have made mistakes. You're only going to gain confidence when you start doing those things you are afraid to do. Believe in yourself and remember that no one is perfect.

I can promise that you will get better in time. But you'll get better sooner if you think of it as something that is fun to do & don't always have to get every shot. The more disappointed you get in yourself the more shots you'll miss. If you go into thinking I'm going to have a good time & not worry you'll do so much better. Try that once & see for yourself

Conquer your lack of confidence a little step at a time. Take risks here and there,. Don't feel bad, if you fail to perform to your potential. Keep at it. Since you are good, eventually you will succeed. Once you have done that a few times, your confidence will build and you will be able to do things even without thinking about it.
Basketball was my life too until I got older. I hope this helps.

Don't think too much about it and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Lay back, chill, and play basketball. That's all it takes.

Hey, this happens to a ton of people. Sounds like a confidence problem to me. You also probably need to mature some more as a basketball player. When you say you're too afraid to do things you know you can do, that also may be that you fail to recognize when you can do things. Just be sure to practice, practice, practice, and NEVER get it into your head that you're the best player ever and nobody can teach you anything. Good luck.
