On Tuesday the summer 2010 Elite Basketball Bootcamp kicked off with a bang. With the enrollment at FOUR TIMES what it was last summer, there was definitely a buzz of excitement in the air (or maybe that was the vuvuzelas that I was hearing all the way from The World Cup in South Africa)
Elite Basketball Bootcamp Begins
The Importance of Strength and Conditioning For Basketball
Basketball is a sport that puts many requirements and demands on the athletes that play it. A successful basketball player is one who is fundamentally sound and possesses the ability to dribble, pass, and shoot. These are three skills that can and should be worked on, daily. However, they are not the only parts of the game that equate to success. Successful basketball players are also be strong, quick, powerful, have good balance, and have good endurance.
Basketball Strength Workout
Basketball players need to be a well rounded athlete. They need to have strength, speed, quickness, explosive power, and stamina. Consequently all of these components need to be worked into your basketball training routine. The four day workout provided below will go a long way towards helping build strength and explosive power. It will also help build up your speed because simply stated, the stronger you are, the faster you can move.
Sandbags, Tires, and Kettlebells…Oh My
Having to go to the gym or weightroom every day to strength train for basketball can get monotonous. Lifting the same weights and doing the same exercises day in and day out. At Elite Basketball Training we strive to break that monotony by getting away from the norm.
The Day the Rains Came
The rain forced the Elite Basketball Bootcamp indoors this week and the workout did not suffer at all. With the help of a 70lb sandbag, the guys got their toughest workout of the summer.
