Busting Your Tail

There are certain things you can do without having to buy a gym membership. Here is a short list of things you can do to get strong without "weights".

1. Learn to use your bodyweight as resistance.
2. Develop flexibility using your bodyweight.
3. Perform manual work (chop wood, dig, etc...)
4. Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, and rest when you need to.

Valentines Day

After your daily workout (no matter what it is) make sure you make some time to take care of the people that take care of you. Valentines Day is a day where people that care about each other show each other how and why. Don't leave anyone wondering when you can make them know.

Keg Conditioning



Keg Conditioning is training with a keg while implementing a sensible training system. Lifting a keg is not the same as using my program. Doing exercises with a keg is tremendous in itself but it is NOT the same as the Keg Conditioning program. I have a great respect for anyone who trains with kegs & barrels. It is because of that respect that I developed Keg Conditioning.

Check out this KEG Training!

Workout Reminder

All you need is one basketball & some space.

1. Stationary Ball Handling (figure 8's, around waist, around head)5:00

Straight to ya'

Sometimes there is just no reason not to take the ball straight to the hole. I tell the athletes I work with to attack it. FINISH! Honestly, why wait?... When the ball is in hand, explode, implement the hop step and finish strong with force. It's important to not only make the shot attempt but to also finish the movement. Don't get caught up watching yourself because that's what videos for. FINISH!

Basketball Training

You either know what you're doing or you don't. There is no such thing as making pretend when it comes to preparation. People that pretend often experience nonsense results and wonder why things aren't they way they should be. Training, playing basketball, and taking care of the body are one and the same. Each facet of preparation whether it be mental or physical must make sense.

Each aspect of preparation must coincide with something else; symbiont. Baksetball players use their bodies so often and hard that adhering to a specific training schedule can be hazardous to progress. My product allows a player the opportunity to understand what he/she needs and implementing it. There can be a lot of confusion in terms of how to train for basketball.

I can tell you something that made me laugh last week. I saw a commercial on TV with some "basketball training". It starred an NBA All-Star sitting on a stability ball, pressing a pair of 25lb pink dumbbells, while wearing "protective" gloves. I laughed so hysterically that I almost had a heart attack. That's NOT even close to training. I developed Basketball Strength to get rid of nonsense training.

The Need for Self-Therapy

Every athlete needs to understand hwo important self-therapy is. Without it, the incredible stress that athletes face would absolutely destroy their minds. You see, athletes are more introspective than outsiders may believe. They constantly think about their performance and sometimes dwell on the negative.

I have developed some unique counseling modalities inside my Basketball Strength Volume I product. What other Basketball Specific product offers that? The answer, NONE! This product was made by a player FOR THE PLAYER.

The Helm

A player has to have confidence with the basketball in posession. This confidence is derived from thousands of hours developing fundamentals and physical training. There comes a time when every player has to realize that he is at the helm. Being strong with the ball is to be at the helm. Anytime a player who resembles the above qualities has the basketball, good things will happen.

The most underrated fundamental skill in the game is cutting. A player who can cut deceptively and finish is one that can contribute. This cutting practice should be with and without the basketball. The three man weave is an excellent cutting drill with and without a basketball. I personally recommend teams practice this drill at least twenty minutes per day. Once you add two defenders you create the three on two, two on one drill. This drill can be used as a tremendous teaching tool for just about every facet of the game.

Periphery Drill

You need two medicine balls and a circle of at least five people. Begint the exercise by having all participants stare directly in fron of them with their hands in ready position. The two people that start with medicine balls can pass them within the circle but it must be underhand. A medicine ball should only be in someones possession for 2 seconds. Perform this drill for two minutes.

After the two minutes replace the underhand pass to a soft chest pass. After two minutes, replace the soft pass to a firm one.

Drills like this one build a sense of team. It also develops periphery which is probably one of the most important aspect of a payers skill set.
