Aim This paper examines the critical components influencing performance in basketball, highlighting the significance of physical, technical, tactical, psychological, theoretical, and biological factors within the context of the sport. The physical aspect is essential across all athlete age groups, emphasizing the need for tailored training protocols that incorporate both general and specific conditioning, especially during the competition phase. Technical training, closely linked to tactical execution and psychological preparation, is vital for athletes to effectively handle complex game situations, enhancing their performance through coordinated teamwork and individual skills. Tactical acumen is underscored as a cognitive skill that enables players to make effective decisions during play, enhancing the overall team strategy. Psychological preparation emerges as a key determinant for achieving peak performance, especially under competitive pressure, necessitating a progressive approach that aligns with the athletes' training phases. The theoretical groundwork provides athletes with essential knowledge about game regulations, biomechanics, and training principles, fostering a deeper understanding of their sport. Finally, the biological aspect emphasizes the need for continuous improvement in athlete conditioning to meet the escalating performance standards in competitive play. Additionally, the characteristics of 3x3 basketball are explored, delineating its unique physiological demands, which require a distinct training approach that prioritizes recovery, anaerobic power, and coordinated movement adaptability to optimize athlete performance in this fast-paced format. Overall, a holistic training regimen that integrates these factors is essential for maximizing athletes` effectiveness and competitive success in basketball. Conclusions Effective sports training requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of athlete development. We highlight the importance of a balanced training regimen that includes physical preparation, technical skill development
