NEXT SHOT ⏭️ The phrase I use throughout most in my workouts with players of all levels is ‘KEEP PLAYING’. They get so affected by missed shots, bad plays, losses, and they let it linger. The toughest players have the quickest bounce back and embody the ‘Next Shot’

🛑 STOP MISSING FREE THROWS ⬇️ For me, the first step to making free throws is the ability to shoot the ball straight consistently. If you can figure that out, you will adjust to the depth + Arc. It will also increase confidence bc you know where the ball is going. This is a

🔒 Great Defensive Players … Can stop the progress of the offensive player by ‘walking up’ instead of hand checking. Typically players will use their inside forearm to brace themselves a bit and keep balance. Ideally, you show the ref your hands, so no foul is called, and

BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION That’s what the international game does well. Players have full understanding of the game and their role within it. They are taught it and held accountable to it from an early age. Because of that, they can build advanced team and individual concepts on

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Players get recruited based on a number of factors that are all important in their own way. For me, one of the biggest characteristics a player can have is WANTING TO BE IN THE GYM WITH OTHER GREAT PLAYERS AND COMPETE. They would move anything else in their plans to

🏃‍♂️PRESEASON IS COMING…. Conditioning is always a preseason favorite… but nothing beats Playing to get in to shape. Running is different when you have to cut, jump, slide, and move. Ideally it’s full court 1v1, 3x3, and 5 on 5 pick up…. But if you are non contact - adding

Player Development Process Players can make big strides in the offseason by increasing their .. ✔️Ability to read the game ✔️Ability to make optimal decisions ✔️Skill to execute Justin Cooper

Mastering = Simplifying Being great at the simple things that happen the most. That is the base of mastering something. And it takes consistent work everyday. Too many times we want to skip over the ‘simple’ and go right to the flashy or complex.

Decision Making Every player can improve their decision making. Being able to make optimal reads and decisions lead to better opportunities for players to execute using their skill. This is why having great coaches in a players career is so vital to their growth!!

Great Shooters ⬇️ Shoot the crap out of it in workouts, and have these 4 things to help them translate it to games… 1. Understand shot selection 2. Do not getting sped up 3. Are in great shape 4. Shoot with confidence

Understanding how to guard players on the catch⬇️ We have 3 variables when guarding the ball on the catch… 1. Distance - How far away you are from the player is determined by their shooting ability and what you want to take away 2. Hand Position - Typically coaches choice on

RUN THROUGH THIS DEFENSIVE POSSESSION⬇️ The Coach in the black shirt does a phenomenal job fighting over 2 screens from one of the best screeners in the game. The coach guarding the big is doing a great job communicating but calls a late switch, puts the defense in a bad

How to Make Your Shot Feel Easy ⬇️ One way to generate power is by getting underneath the ball early. Players with a high set point, or that don’t flex their wrist a lot will miss short, and it will feel hard to get the ball to the rim. Focusing on *sitting in your stance,

CROSS OR SLIDE??? I don’t think this is a debate anymore, right? The best defenders have the ability to slide in short bursts to wall up and keep the offense in front. They also have the ability to cross their feet and ‘run’ to get back in front or bump the offense off their

READ + SKILL ⬇️ Simple paint read. Help defense rotates… do you have a scoring option in the mid paint, can you execute a pass to the cutter or dunker spot for an easy bucket. Too many players get a charge call, try to score through 2 players, or throw the ball away in that

We over Me ⬇️ Great teams have great shot selection. When players shift from individual training or 1v1, they need to shift their mindset to finding not only a good shot for them, but more so, a good shot for a team. You may have a good shot, but your teammate may have a

GUARDING THE EUROSTEP ⬇️ There are NBA guys that do this really well like Jrue Holiday and Jalen Brunson. They have the ability in transition or in the paint to anticipate a players movement and wall them up / impede their progress. Get to work!!

There is always someone better than you ⬇️ The best thing a coach told me when I was in high school was that no matter how good you are, there is always someone out there better than you. You are either going to let that discourage you, or you are going to work your butt off

EVERY GOOD DEFENDER DOES THESE 2 THINGS ⬇️ First off, defense is 90% effort and energy, I wholeheartedly believe in that. Every good defender gives great effort initially on defense, the second thing they do is give a great 2nd and 3rd effort to disrupt the offense when they
