I hope that you all enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start to summer. With that being said, we are less than a month away from the first week of Elite Basketball Camps. Don’t miss out on all of the programs Elite Basketball Training offers to get your son or daughter ready for the 2010-2011 basketball season.
Don’t Miss This (Basketball Agility Drill)
Are You a Basketball Warrior?
My Elite Basketball Training workouts always focus on developing great skills while getting you in the best basketball shape possible. I want them to be warriors on the court so my workouts are always harder than the games themselves. Honestly, what good is a basketball player who can make all their jumpshots while standing around and shooting but is not in good enough condition to get open or even get up and down the court?
Zig Zag, Closeout, and Contain Drill
The Zig Zag, Closeout, Contain Drill is another great one on one drill that you can use if you have multiple players. This drill is suitable for all age groups including youth, middle school, high school, and beyond. It will work on a player’s ability to handle the basketball against full court pressure as well as the defensive player’s ability to closeout on a player in the full court and defend them.
When All You Have is a Hammer…
At Elite Basketball Training, the goal has always been to make every basketball player that trains with me into a complete basketball player. What is a complete basketball player? The complete basketball player is one who can dribble, pass, and shoot as well as being stronger, faster, more explosive, and in better condition than their opponent. If a basketball player has all of these attributes, then they will be highly successful on the court.
As I was reading this weekend, I came across a quote by Abraham Maslow that is highly appropriate for my basketball training philosophy.
The Keys to Effective Transition Defense
Transition defense is an incredibly important aspect of defense in basketball, but it is also the most overlooked. Basketball coaches almost take for granted that their players will simply get back on defense and prevent their opposition from scoring. However, this is not always the case and there is a significant amount of strategy and technique that goes into how transition defense should be played.
