Skill Work vs. Show Work: The Truth About Basketball Training in the Social Media Era
Basketball training has hit a crossroads. In the social-media era, the line between real skill work and show work is fading fast.
In this episode of The One-Eyed Scout Show, we expose how attention-driven workouts are creating fake confidence — and why gritty, purpose-driven training still wins when the lights come on. From Kyrie Irving’s foundation-first approach to the rise of highlight culture, we break down what separates true development from performance drills built for clicks.
The truth is simple: if your workout looks better than your box score, you’re doing show work.
Listen in for the mindset every player, trainer, and parent needs to hear.
