Yup.... 10000 Hours was an accident. Was suppose to be a class project, didnt have any room on my computer so i saved it on youtube. Now you know how this all got started. Thanks for the support ....now go get "IN THE LAB" whether it be a gym, computer lab....or whatever. "WORK HARD WORK SMART
Man I've been watching this guy for a while and I must say he's a real basketball player. He even freaking gets into closed gyms to play and teach. Man, I know he isn't gonna read this, but man he is a real baller. Baller 101 I love it. Ballislife for me and this guy inspired my dreams even more. I have loved this sport ever since I was 4 and guys like this make your dreams believe that they are achievable. Thank you for the inspiration.
damn man crazy I just found this because im a old hooper that cant play anymore too due to knee problems from not taking care of my body. I thought my hoop dream was over but a year later a kid came to me and asked me to train him. ever sense that day ive loved the feeling of helping dudes get better. its a better feeling to me then actually playing. I was just guna start training kids for free to get better at this and hope one day to become a professional skills trainer. I was unsure about doing it but seeing this makes me wanna to do it for sure. I love these videos and taking notes! plan on watching these over and over again.so thank u for doin this, I look up to you a lot after watching these. keep doin what you do.
i know this series is old, but i keep revisiting it because you have inspired me so much, i just feel like i was inspired too late in my life, i have been working as hard as i could for this past year and i just wanted to say, whatever comes from this basketball stuff, it is thanks to you, thank you so much dev
I have been following all three video series, and to be completely honest, EVERYTHING in them I have implemented in my game. For all those who are actually in love with the game, make sure you take note of what Dev is saying. He may still be learning, but he can still teach what he already knows! I appreciate the help 10000 Hours
The form and consistency in matt's jumper has improved alot. I remember in one of the older videos how trevor took criticism for his lack of a consistent jumper. Devin you are teaching matt right!
Ahhh Urban Knights! My Ex was tryin to play for the Women's team around 07-09 when she was studying there for VFX. Used to pick her up after skateboarding around the islands. Anyways awesome videos. Inspiring. Pushed me to be more dedicated in my craft.
Good to hear the full story about a series and a man who's both come a loooong way. You have got a lot of people supporting this channel and its series. Keep up the work man. You're doing good
2018 I'm watching this and Devin just pushed me to keep chasing my dream ! I live in France and I'm 15 years old but I just want to do basketball for my life in the further. That's why I will do everything that I can to make my dream come true... If I could have a coach like him, I would train everytime... But no excuses, i'll chase my dream alone or with somebody, I wont let it go :)
I really respect the fact that you promote education as well as working hard on the court! "Dumb athlete" is totally an unattractive characteristic to have, couldn't agree with you more. Wish you the best.
My speech teacher told me if ur not nervous u dont and if u dont care u cant be good at whatever you doin.... This video is homage to this message great job bro
Big ups to Dev man..glad to see you still doing what your doing..been following the 10000 hours movement since the first episode..you inspired me and a lot of my friends! Thank you.
Just wanted to give yall props for all the great videos...great beats ..great production..even great philosophy that anybody can use in life...I like how Devin bears his soul on the videos..his passion for what he does,it takes a lot of courage to put not only your sucesses out there but your failures that led to your sucesses..You have a good team just keep producing these great videos they motivate me and im sure thousands of others
You get better every video man. You can see the progress from last years videos to this years. No disrespect your old vids, all that means is that you got better. Love what you doing man. Keep grinding and keep inspiring.
Solid...Solid video Dev! Matty skill level is ready to go now. Keep going sir you got big things headed your way. Gladwell's theory has done you right.
I been watching since you started ten0000 hours!!! I love what youve done and where your at today!! I had to go back to this episode to see where you came from and where your at ! Your dope devin much love and respect!!
Dev drops a lot of gems in all of these videos and it's much deeper than tips and drills on a ball court. His principles can truly be applied to all walks of life I just hope the viewers are soaking it up and applying it. Keep up the hard work man it's an inspiration. Peace -OC
DEV the respect LEVEL for you is through the roof!! It always been there but now its to the highest degree. You knew what it took to succeed throughout multi media then branching off to training! Very Inspirational! One Shot Vision is a media group who's on the same path. Learned a lot from this!!
Used to watch these and steal all ya workouts in middle school-high school. And became one of the best in Houston. I felt just like you said in the intro, like basketball betrayed me . Now I’m about to start training my own players. Preciate it Dev 💯
Yo man, I really enjoy your videos. When you, matty, and matty's older brother trained together, it was really inspirational, and led me to believe you guys actually had a chance at the league... It doesn't matter what the outcome is, but keep doing what you're doing with TH-cam, and keep up with the videos. You will get big, just keep persistent, and try to dedicate more time to it. Good luck man
i wanna thank u for all this, i'm a freshman from canada who may get recruited in the next year. your vids got bare workouts ep 5 specially anyways i got alot better thanks to all this. And all of this is smart and is helping me and my bros. Thanks man ... now lemme catch my morning workout
I just randomly came across this video this was the first episode I watched! This really motivated and inspired me! I wish both of you guys the best! And I will continue to follow you all! 10000 hours!!!
Hey man I'm the guy who shook your hand in the lobby at school on 79th. It was an amazing experience just meeting you dude. Makes me want to rep urban knights harder
Great video, nice story Devin keep doing your things! And BTW the 10000 hours videos inspired me as a soccer player from The Netherlands! - you motivate a lot of people so keep going man! I also watch a lot of NBA and like the hard work you can put in to become better, athletic/stronger/faster but also skills & your mentality needs to be like a kobe or lebron never give up and always wanna win! 2 things: 1 where is kyle/how is he doing? 2 you should make/form/train Matty to a damian Lillard type of pick/roll scorer/shooter point guard! Not just a simple sniper or defender, he doesnt wanna be average! Good luck!
Man do I lovee this homestly u putting this on netflix wont bother me. You deserve everything coming toward you. Im also glad u see double sides of being a student athlete and making sure they have set futures.
I like the moves you bring off the dribble and different ball handling ideas you take out!! You should do a video of the different moves or favorite ones you have!!
Devin can you please make videos on your shooting form and techniques and tricks please. I would really appreciate this. You inspire me to work hard and translate that and have that work hard mentality in every aspect like the classroom, chores, etc... If you can, please give more tips on shooting
Basketball is my life. I wake up lift go ball im 13 5'10 I live in a small town im the best player here I don't have much of a chance to make it to NBA . But 10000 makes basketball not just fun but beautiful and an art . I do basketball , football, and track, my coaches say I'm the hardest worker . My main question is," how do I get noticed for scholarships from a town with barely 1000 people?"
These videos have actually really helped my game a lot and I'm working on my craft I'm on varsity not that good yet but these videos are gradually helping my improvement
I really appreciate what you guys are doing not only for yourself's but also for other. I look up to you Devin, turns out you were a lot like I am now and I gotta fix my business. Stay humble Devin and keep up the good work, thanks!
its really great to see the man behind the success... Can you post something in the description? like who you are working with and those info stuff??? Everybody loves to read before watching... :D keep it up Dev.. #inspiration keep learning, I know someday you'll be a pro-trainer and earn what you deserve.
I don't have as much as a passion of basketball as much as you bro but I love your drive and I respect the message. Also you have some great shots of my city bro I didn't you was from the city. it just great to see this from the bay. Keep striving for greatness.
man we have a project at school in front of around 400-500 people about inspirational vids on youtube, would it be ok with you if i showed this video and the 10000 hours episode 2 ?
in canada we dont have that type of accessibility to basketball courts. Well in Toronto at least, every single community center is expensive to play at and hoopdome.... LOL
in spain is the same. If you want to play, pay for it or go to a plaza. I'm in a club, training 3 days per week, the other 4 I spend it in a plaza because in the club the court schedule doesn't allow it. Frustrating, but if you want, you can, no matter where, just know that you will do it.
Great video. I am very happy with the way you are constantly progressing. Awesome keep up the work. When is the next ASW. I would love to see more of Trevor, Mello, Kyle, and exc.
May God bless you sir!!! Your videos have really inspired me! The question at the beginning really struck a chord in me. I'm on a mission to really find purpose! Keep posting your work bro they really inspire!

Yo man, I really enjoy your videos. When you, matty, and matty's older brother trained together, it was really inspirational, and led me to believe you guys actually had a chance at the league... It doesn't matter what the outcome is, but keep doing what you're doing with TH-cam, and keep up with the videos. You will get big, just keep persistent, and try to dedicate more time to it.

Great video, nice story Devin keep doing your things!
And BTW the 10000 hours videos inspired me as a soccer player from The Netherlands! - you motivate a lot of people so keep going man!
I also watch a lot of NBA and like the hard work you can put in to become better, athletic/stronger/faster but also skills & your mentality needs to be like a kobe or lebron never give up and always wanna win!
2 things:
1 where is kyle/how is he doing?
2 you should make/form/train Matty to a damian Lillard type of pick/roll scorer/shooter point guard!
Not just a simple sniper or defender, he doesnt wanna be average!
Good luck!
You're the man Dev . Love the music choices as well it shows you got a good ear
I'm 14 and have no plans for my future whatsoever. only thing i do is basketball and school. this stuff motivates me
