Dribbling through cones prepares players for real games about as well as driving in an empty parking lot prepares a 16-year-old for a 4-lane highway. Game-representative practice environments are where perception is refined while stagnant cones force 0 adaptability.

“Talk” - Coaches (& parents) everywhere More specifically: Pick 1 of these: 1.) Say what you’re doing 2.) Say what you’re seeing 3.) Say what you want to happen Effective communication can’t be the expectation with no direction what the players are supposed to “Talk” about

Just Saying, Few things are more unprofessional & disrespectful to the player development/training space than when coaches/trainers show up to a workout with nothing prepared. No note, No paper = Not a person serious about their craft or the players involved.

No matter where you go, one of the telltale signs of an unserious atheltic program/organization is a lack of budget/care when it comes to athletic trainers, physical therapists, physios, and operations people… Bad Health⚕️ Bad Operations ⛓️ Bad Teams💩

Where is the Energy Leak in the shot? Momentum from Game Movements, Hips, Arms, & Wrist create a Kinetic Chain of Energy - in the process, something happens out of sequence & energy is leaked. Players with deep range & shotmaking ability off dynamic movements don’t leak.

The hand is in a “race” to get to the set point (flat) before the ball is released on a shot. Short shots are often the result of the hand “losing” the race to a flat “platter” at the set point - resulting in an outward (rather than upward motion) on the release of the shot.
