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.
“Transferability”
Breakfast is Boring
You have heard it a million times before, “You have to eat breakfast.” So many times that you are probably tired of hearing the same boring message, but do you have any idea how many people I meet as a basketball coach that DO NOT eat breakfast? Too many to count, and many of them are basketball players.
The U.S. Navy Seal Creed
In honor of all of our Veterans, I decided to post the U.S. Navy Seal Creed. It was sent to me this week via email and I thought it a good idea to share with you all. Not that it has much to do with basketball, which pales in comparison to what our servicemen do for our country, but because there are valuable life lessons evident throughout.
Four Keys to Effective Post Play
At our “Starting Five” basketball clinic this past Sunday we were fortunate enough to have former collegiate national champion at Villanova University and professional basketball player Chuck Everson there to speak about post play. It is not often that post play comes up at a clinic and to be able to have someone of that magnitude there to speak about it and break it down for almost three hours was fantastic. Over the course of the three hour basketball clinic, Everson spoke about every aspect of post play imaginable
Agility Ladder Finishing Drills for Basketball Training Efficiency
As I have mentioned before, the game of basketball requires so many skills. Successful basketball players must be able to pass, dribble, shoot, and finish. They must also have strength, power, speed, agility, and endurance. All of these attributes are skills that can and must be incoporated into a player’s basketball training regimen. Upon first look, all of this really seems like a lot. However, if you get creative and combine some of the skills into the same drills you can cut down on training time and make the workout much more basketball specific.
One way to combine skills is to incorporate the agility ladder into your workouts with the basketball.
