With the Elite Basketball Bootcamp only two weeks away from finishing up its summer session, I have been giving people a look into some of the training that we have been doing since the middle of June. These basketball players are really starting to see the results. Each week someone new is picking up a heavier sandbag than they did the week before. They are challenging themselves and each other to jump farther, sprint faster, do more pushups or pullups, and lift heavier weights. I’m telling you, the atmosphere is great!

12 Cone Ballhandling Drill (Video)
By randomly placing 12 cones inside the lane, you create tighter spaces through which the ballhandler must navigate through while making their moves. These tight spaces force the player to make their moves. It also requires them to work on their footwork in order to be able to change directions quickly.
What Ever Happened to the Back-Dribble?
About two weeks ago, I was at an AAU event promoting my new recruiting service for high school student athletes called The Highlight Reel and I was able to catch a few of the basketball games. Although the skill level was high and the games were exciting, I could not help but notice that something was glaringly absent from every player’s game…the back-dribble.
Elite Basketball Bootcamp Begins
On Tuesday the summer 2010 Elite Basketball Bootcamp kicked off with a bang. With the enrollment at FOUR TIMES what it was last summer, there was definitely a buzz of excitement in the air (or maybe that was the vuvuzelas that I was hearing all the way from The World Cup in South Africa)
Bowtie Agility Drill
At Elite Basketball Training, I am always looking for new and creative ways to train my basketball players in a way that is functional to basketball. The Bowtie Agility Drill is no acception. This drill combines agility ladders with defensive slides, thereby making it more specific to the game of basketball.
