At the end of each of my Elite Basketball Clinics, there is usually a segment devoted to one-on-one basketball drills. During this segment, the players are able to use the skills that they have been working on throughout the clinic in a one-on-one situation. This is done in order to teach the player to transfer the skills that they learned from the drills into a live situation

The concept of transferability had never really crossed my mind too much prior to this. It was always just assumed that the players would realize that the drills that we worked on over the hour had a purpose that transferred to the game itself. However, the more that I think about it, the more I realize that players may only see drills as drills and games as games.

Someone once told me that if you eliminate your weak hand, then you cut off 50% of your options. This could not be more true, yet many players do not or will not practice with their weak hand in order to make it better. In the game of basketball, you should go be the rule that what ever you can do with your right you can do the same with your left (or vice versa).

When it comes to basketball training, there are two phases that a basketball player really needs to work on. One is strength and conditioning and the other is skill development.

Elite Basketball Training’s Skills and Drills Clinics and the Elite Basketball Bootcamp are guaranteed to improve your game and make you into the player that you have always dreamed of. For more information,
