The madness is set to return tonight and I am psyched because I get to see my Carolina Tarheels live tomorrow night at the Prudential Center. That other game between Kentucky and Ohio State should be decent as well…I’m joking of course. It will be awesome!
In the meantime, I wanted to get you a quick post on a drill that I like to use at the end of a workout.
Its that time of year again, March Madness. I have been watching college basketball games non stop over the past two weeks and I cannot wait for the start of the NCAA tournament. For true basketball fans and even the casual fan, it is the most excting sporting event this side of the superbowl. It is, for lack of a better phrase, “Real” Reality TV played out on a stage that is 94 feet of hardwood. It just does not get any better.
Each day on my ride into work, I listen to Mike and Mike in the morning with the off chance that I might find them talking just a little about basketball rather than their customary football jargon. Not that I am not a football fan, but it would be nice to hear some basketball talk every once in a while now that football season has ended. Well, it just so happens that right after Carmello Anthony was traded to the Knicks, they had Jay Bilas on the show to discuss the NBA and the anxiously anticipated NCAA tournament.
At Elite Basketball Training we are always looking for new ways to improve our basketball skills training. Basketball skill development encompasses many aspects of the game of basketball and there is such a great variety of drills out there to choose from. This drill today is a drill that I use as part of a stationary ballhandling warmup.
Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the basketball game that saw Rutgers shock then number 10 in the country, Villanova. I was invited to the game by Dallas Ouano who is a walk on at Villanova and trains with me in his off months from basketball. It was really exciting to attend a high level Big East basketball game, especially one that ended like this game did (sorry Dallas).
