This is a fun one to challenge the vert. Box Top Finishes in our program, but with the added dunk challenge. - We keep raising the box until you can no longer get it!

Drop Pivot Keys - Place your foot behind, but don’t let your hips go backward with it! - Your hips should only drop down!!

Raising the ball with one hand during your steps draws attention to the ball. Always one of my go to actions at the rim. - If the defense responds to it, pull down and scoop under. - If they don’t, then keep it high and finish.

This is a great ball handling warmup that ties together dribble timing with feet, rhythm and coordination, and dribble placement precision. - Hit all 5 spots every time!

The Turn Push is one of THE techniques of choice for splitting screens and pushing the ball into open space. And when you understand how to allow the ball to spin in your hand on the move, it allows you to truly keep your flow and pick your spots.

When you train as a player, you have to train your feet to find realistic driving lines. - A lot of info here for you!

Don’t just pound the ball into your shots. - There’s also times to float the ball into the shot. - Players who can do both are the most unpredictable to defend. - Just remember: At all levels, there is no rule against the number of steps a player can take after a dribble.

Cut from JV as a sophomore in high school. I’m Possible work ever since. - Connor is proof of how to overcome!

Love to see this kind of footwork. - Small nuanced movements, distributing and shifting weight from foot to foot, hip to hip. - These 5 little steps occurred all in the same space of the floor. Footwork mastery.

Education over “content”. - If players can’t adjust the type of pound dribbles they use they will often have a hard time flowing from option to option in the game. - Three dribble techniques must be attained. - Straight Pounds Turn Pounds Punch Dribbles - Do you have all 3?

Luka is wild for this one. - Two footworks stacked nicely and a ridiculously accurate pass. - Inverted Skip (outside foot) right into an Inverted Drop with an urgent Punch...Love this combination. - But that pass!!?

As a trainer, I used to raise an arm for a player to attack under. Simple accountability for them to understand the type of body angle that is often needed. - Why use a Rip Roller then? Simple. Because it can serve as my trainer and my accountability.

Player movements can be taught. - I’ve often heard people say that “elite players just have it” - That these types of things can’t be taught or learned. - Sounds like excuses to me. (Kobe voice)

I love the mistake driven process. - Teaching in and through the process of mistakes. - Here's a taste of why it works.

When it comes to skills, it’s a race. Get MORE! - This is not to be confused with game situations and reads which can be more tedious and more rep based. - Skill enhancement is about giving your body more to use in the game. Our checklist approach does just that.

A Drop is a common enough move these days, but that doesn't mean there is only one way to perform it. There are actually 8 types, but here we cover 3. 1. Drop (Standard) 2. Skinny Drop 3. Extended Drop

I love these types of conversations after clinics and training sessions. Training, mentoring, influencing and making an impact for players.

Time for another annual replay of this principle. • Raw skill enhancement training has NOTHING to do with playing style. - The mistake many make is they spend the majority of their time training to a specific playing style/role, rather than building their skills. - Playing

POV of trying to shut me down in high school. 😆 - There is nothing quiet like an energized high school playing atmosphere. Nothing like being the not “very big” player, the opposing team is certain they will 🛑. And especially nothing like finding that rare behind the scenes
