Morning Random Run!
- Cardiovascular fitness is the cornerstone of every players arsenal. This fact of exercise physiology reminds me of my college basketball days. When the alarm clock goes off nowadays and I see the "4:55am", I only know one thing; It's time for the 5am run. This 5am cardio suprise was part of the basketball program at the University of Bridgeport. Bruce Webster instituted random distance 5am runs on the Seaside Park Track to keep us live, active, and fit. If you plan to play at the next level, you want to start acting the same way.
No lie, the view of the sunrise was hot and it got me through many a runs. The 5am factor was tough for my body to get through for a couple factors.
It is a well known medical fact that if given the proper environment, the human body can repair itself a great deal by itself during sleep. In order to aid this repair, the human body drains specific resources to performs its duties. The "gas" if you will is a concentration of adequate nutrition and hydration. When you wake up, you wil be naturally dehydrated and should begin sipping water slowly to attain hydration. This is why morning runs are harder mentally and physically due to the obvious lack of hydration. Beginners should always start with a 1/4 mile and add 1/4 mile to the total distance every week. This is slow, progressive, training.
Start getting out of bed and get the day off to the right start. Just something as simple as the 5am run can change your life forever. It will also help you to get to sleep earlier at night.
It has been said with much applause; "Rise with the sun, Set with the sun".

Basketball Reality
- People are successful in athletics for the most part because they are good at it. Let's face it, most people tend to not want to do what they are good at or show natural potential talent for. On the contrary, if a good natural athlete learns proper basketball manipulative ball skills, he will become immediately dominant. Confidence with the ball in hand making clutch decisions is not taught through ball handling drills with chairs. It is made through mastering stationary ball handling and
then taking that skill into scrimmage or practice games. Time
after time, day after day, the skill is mastered and the confidence with it.
Specific example is that I was an excellent rebounder and basically had anything within a five yeard radius of the rim. I wanted it more than anyone and possessed the ability to jump over people in order to get it. This innate skill allowed me to succeed in my early years of development because my shot was rarely blocked or altered.
I was actually a pretty poor player statistically speaking in high school. I averaged over 20 points and 20 rebounds but shot a very low percentage. The main reason was that I was jumping so high that it was difficult for me to make shots. I was shooting down or straight at the rim. Only the people who have the actual experience with this will understand it. For those that don't...
Imagine your hands are as high as the rim while at the top of your jump shot peak and then you have to release. i was a slasher who could jump over everyone, grab my own rebound, and put it in quick. Everything seemed like it was a 2 for 1.
Every year in college, my game developed considerably. I got to college primarily because of my athletic ability and jumping. My skills were as raw as sushi. I recommend Basketball Strength Program to remedy all basketball specific training hands down to all players and coaches.
What did I do to build my skills to get a scholarship to college then go pro?
1. Played with and against my areas top players.
2. Did daily fundamental skill work.
3. Did daily cardio with the only equipment being self.
4. Kept my grades consistent with no fall-outs.
5. Basketball Strength Conditioning (The Training Course for Ballers)
There is a definite "way to do it" in terms of getting noticed, getting into college, and succeeding once there. Smart people listen to those people that can help them.
When I wanted to know about playing in college, I played against college guys. When I wanted to know what pros were like, I played with them then became one. Many of the answers you need, you have, but you need to learn how to apply them consistently for success. The Basketball Strength Volumes, both I & II are the perfect road map to your eventual athletic success.

Eating and Resting
- Two of the most important factors in training programs are eating and resting. These two things are a biproduct of your own training style and need to be specific for each individual. The harder you train with consistency the more food and rest you will need in order to recover adequately. The less you train, the less food and rest you will need as a statement of relativity. Making this simple adjustment will keep your athletic body in balance and ready to perform. Below you can see a still photo from Basketball Strength Volume I. This demonstrates an optimal defensive stance within our parameters of physical training.
