I’m going to start this one off with a bold statement:

I don’t love where the industry is at with regards to training basketball players.

Now before you get all pissed off and click away, hear me out.

These young men and women are playing more games than ever before.

Yes we’re getting them “in the gym” – but are we putting too much of an emphasis on pure “strength” development?

And last but not least, how can we evolve our own programs to best prepare them for the sport?

If your goal is to think differently and help your basketball players see more success in the months and years to come, this is the podcast for you.

Let’s do this!

 

As physical preparation coaches, there’s more to it than just getting strong – we have to teach them how to move. – MR

  • Why you NEED strength training in your programs (and it’s not JUST for strength).
  • The critical role exercise selection plays in your program design process – and why it should be more than just power cleans, back squats and bench presses.
  • My cars analogy for thinking about athletes and their physical outputs.
  • Why you MUST understand the movements basketball players make during the game.
  • How to be smarter and more focused with your conditioning efforts.
  • Force Distribution: Why it’s important, and how to build it into your workouts.
  • Unless you’re Wemby or Zion, why you should help athletes find a player to model.
