I really want to make the basketball team!!!!!!!!!!?

I tried out for the grade 8 team last year and didn't get cut in the first cut but got cut in the second. I really thought i was good enough! My coach picked all the popular kids like 2 guys sucked but were popular and she picked them! The tryouts are in a month now for the grade 9 team and im scared. What do you thnk i should do to be a better bball player? I have a basketball net and play everyday for an hour and shoot 100 shots from one area! Help is greatly appreciated!
