GET YOUR FEET SET QUICK!!!
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
One of the biggest skills that is neglected is being prepared to shoot when you catch the ball and are open! We teach “Shot Preparation” and the ability to be ready to shoot when you receive a pass. You do this by getting your feet set as the ball is coming towards you. One tip, is to jump to the ball when the ball is half way to you, so that when you land, you will be receiving the ball and ready to shoot! Staying on your toes so that you can pop (jump) back up quickly off of the floor will help as well. Playing “Low to High” – meaning – being low to the ground and ready so that when you catch the ball you can just jump straight up, rather than standing (High) and then having to go down (Low) and then back up (High) to shoot. Put a great deal of focus on “Shot Preparation”, which is one of the biggest reasons, players don’t shoot high percentages or take shots that are available due to not being READY!

Jump Roping at its BEST!!! (Simple way to improve daily)
Monday, April 12th, 2010
For those of you who train with me know that I am big on Jump Roping on a daily basis. I believe it is a simple and “cheap” (jump rope costs from $1 – $10) way to improve foot quickness, conditioning and muscle endurance!!! In this video above Floyd Mayweather Jr. (pound for pound the best boxer in the world) displays impeccable footwork, speed, quickness and control over the jump rope! I believe that this is a big reason why his hands and feet are so quick as a boxer!!! So………….I want to ask you to challenge yourself to match his (Floyd Mayweather Jr’s) intensity, focus and control with your own jump rope and workout!!! In due time, you will begin to reap the benefits of what consistent jump roping can do for you in your own basketball game!

Good player to watch to get better – Stephen Curry!
Monday, March 15th, 2010
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors – NBA) is a very skilled and smart player. His ability to shoot, drive and pass the ball at a high level has made it an easy transition for him to go from college to the NBA and still be a major contributor. I would definitely say to watch him and pick up his ability to move without the ball, pass, shoot off the dribble and shoot on the move. He is never out of control and controls his speed and quickness very well.

The simple…..”GIVE N GO”!!!
Sunday, March 7th, 2010
Here is an example by a fellow Hoop Dreamer, Ime Udoka, of how to use a simple play to score - the “Give n Go”! So many players these days want to OVER dribble and the “Give n Go” is an EASY way that you and your team can score without the ball being dribbled once! Watch how Beno Udrih passes, swims (a move used to get open on a defender guarding you closely without the ball), then changes speed on his cut and takes advantage of Will Bynum (Detroit Pistons) going over the top of the screen. This is what we call a “READ”, that both Ime and Beno made in order to execute the “Give n Go”. I was just talking with our Varsity (High School ages) Class today about how difficult it is to guard someone who constantly and consistently moves without the ball. So……if it’s not in your game, please add the “Give n Go” to your repertoire!!!
