As you know, I am a big advocate of combining basketball skills with speed and agility drills especially when it comes to the agility ladder. I make sure that I incorporate a few variations of these drills into all of my workouts as I feel it is vital to your success on the court.
In this post you will see a video of several sequences of one of the agility ladder drills that we did at one of my recent clinics.

Do You Communicate on the Court?
By now, most of you know that I am the proud father of an almost two year old baby girl. You may remember her from my post last week when she had to hang with me at one of my group strength training sessions and started doing pushups with the high school guys. Honestly, I never taught her to do them, she just happens to see me do them quite often and started to do them herself.
Weak Hand Development
Last friday, I registered once again for the Garden State Coaches Clinic at St. Benedict’s Prep. in Newark, N.J. I have attended this clinic for about five years now and it has never once been a let down. Each year they bring in some of the top basketball minds from around the country and I am able to gather tons of useful information that I use for my basketball season as well as Elite Basketball Training.
Outdoor Basketball Strength Training
Bored with your current strength workouts? Can’t make it to the gym? Don’t worry, you don’t have to. In this post I provide you with a killer workout that requires nothing but a few pieces of equipment. The best part of it all is that this equipment is inexpensive to make and you don’t have to go any further than your house or a local park.
Good Defense and Shooting the Basketball
Those of you who know me, know that I am a big fan of defense in the game of basketball. Scoring baskets is the easy part because most players do not take defense seriously and to pick them apart offensively is really quite easy; but defense is all about will power and discipline and that is what I love. Do you as an individual have the will to stop your opponent? Does your team have the discipline to work together as a unit and stop the other team?
