This one is going to be a short one, but man is it a good one. Practices, whether skill development sessions or team practices need to be made competitive. They need to be harder than the game. That is why it is important to make as many of your drills that you use competitive.

New Elite Basketball Training Videos
Here are a few of the new Elite Basketbal Training videos that I have released on youtube. These videos include speed, agility, and strength training that can be used for basketball and many other sports.
Corner to Wing Shooting Drill
Basketball skill development should be an integral part of your basketball practices. At our practice we spend at least 20 minutes a practice on shooting. To become good at shooting the basketball and maintain that ability takes repetition, and this repetition should come in ways that apply to your offense. You have all heard me mention before that basketball players need to take games shots, at game spots, at game speed. This is a key to component to all aspects of basketball skill development and training at Elite Basketball Training.
Four Line Sprint With Defensive Slide Drill
As a long time basketball coach and trainer, I have always been an advocate of incorporating movements and skills of the game into the drills that are used for conditioning. The Four Line Sprint With Defensive Slide Drill is a perfect example of that. This drill combines, sprinting with another important game movement, defensive slides. In doing so, the drill becomes more specific while including elements of conditioning, speed, and agility.
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.
