Basketball Workouts!

2008-04-12T05:59:00.000-07:00

Basketball workouts are tougher than most forms of training. The main reason is due to the shear intensity, movement, and conditioning necessary to complete the training. The actual game is fast paced, with high energy, and it's participants must be able to accomodate the games attributes.

With that, the training for a basketball player has to resemble the game. It has to present a challenge that will be endured for periods of time that encompass tremendous intensity and a need for mental toughness.

Why would a player waste his time laying on his back doing a bench press?
Last time I checked, if a player is on his back he either took a charge (GOOD) or he got run over (YIKES). There is no need for a baller to use the bench press. This is just one example of how common mistakes cause thousands of players to make self-inflicted physical mistakes.

Winning the Slam Dunk Contest!

2008-03-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

in 1995 I won the Long Island Dunk Contest. Here was the line up I used to beat Stanley Martin (who was favored by the judges but not the fans).

1. 1 handed windmill.
2. Double pump reverse.
3. Bang off backboard THEN tomahawk.
4. Kiss the rim.
5. Jump as high as I can and try to tear the rim off.

It felt good to overcome the opposition, take the trophy home, and leave the
packed gym with serious pride.

I played with a lot of different players from all over the world. The one concrete thing I can say that bound us all together was our love of basketball. There were plenty of guys who had tremendous natural talent and never worked beyond their innate capacity. There were also guys who didn't have a lick of natural talent yet their work ethics provided the skills necessary to compete on a high level.

Which player are you?
What are your plans for maximizing your ability?
Do you know how you should be physically training as a player?
Do you know what you shouldn't be doing in terms of physical training?
Do you know how to care for your body outside of playing basketball?
Do you know the difference between pain and injury?
Do you know what optimal nutrition and adequate rest for a player is?

Strengthening Basketball Hands I

2008-03-22T06:28:00.000-07:00

A basketball players worst nightmare is a sprained thumb or wrist. Anytime the term sprain is used it is used to describe small connective tissue tears. This kind of thing is prevalent with hyperextenion injuries since the range of motion is increased too much. The binding connective tissues try their best to keep the joint in place but some forces prove too strong hence the sprain.

Before you experience the Thumb or Wrist, I advise you to strengthen your thumbs, fingers, and wrists. Intelligent lower arm training provides emphasis on rotations/movements that the subject is particularly weak. For example; extension is weak in comparison to flexion. For this remedy I recommend The Formulator which is apparantly no longer made nor sold. Either way, a tremendous device that is sound in structure and function capacity. IF you don't own one, you can use a wrist roller and still experience outstanding results.

Strong hands for a player denotes MY BALL! Stay tuned for Part II...

Ode To Bruce Webster

2008-03-11T16:19:00.001-07:00

I was fortunate to be able to play for some quality coaches. By quality, I simply mean each particular man had an admirable character trait that brought out the best in his players.

Bruce Webster coached at the University of Bridgeport for over 30 years. He won hundreds of games, turned out several professional athletes, and had a hard, stern way of getting his point across.

Bruce gave everyone two strikes. The first strike was a warning and the second was an out. I appreciated his methods of discipline and of teaching the game. I am sure there are former players that were rattled by Bruce and probably dislike his to the day.

I for one, appreciate the man for who he was, what he did, and what he brought out in me. While he didn't have the confidence in me that he should have, I learned a tremendous deal from him.

The message today is simple; everyone has something to offer. It is for the wise person to recognize what it is that makes each individual special and adapt yourself to it. That's why I always say, together we can become champions.

Another Division I Baseball Player Testimonial!

2008-03-09T17:18:00.001-07:00

I just received another testimonial from a former Division I Baseball Player! I know, I know...what does a Baseball Player know about basketball training?...

A LOT!

This testimonial comes from a serious baller who has taken his game into the NYC Urban Professionals League. I respect an athlete who steps a little outside his comfort zone to dominate another.

Playing a Division I College sport is legit. Competing in another sport at a high level Post-College is another.

Props to Charles and stay tuned for his testimonial!

Telling Lies

2008-03-09T17:07:00.000-07:00

One the most simple things a person can do is to be honest. This facet of life is something that even the most "sucessfull" people do not have a grasp on. What I mean is that just because someone makes money does NOT mean they are honest. There are plenty of people walking around with gigantic bank accounts that couldn't tell the truth if it was free to do so. Honestly, I don't know what it is and instead of trying to figure it out...I figured I would drop you a line to let you know that you're not alone thinking it.

When you start to plan a training scheme, you should be honest with yourself.
When you start planning for a college education, you must be honest with yourself.
When you choose a mate to live your life with, you need to be honest with yourself.

I could go on and on with this one but I know you feel me here. My only advice is to surround yourself with positive poeple that beleive in your abilities for what they are and you for who you are. Jealous people are not always visible and sometimes may be closer than they appear.

As I write this message to you today, I find myself a bit saddened. I am saddened because in a perfect world, we would all help eachother to benefit mankind. Instead, the exact opposite is what we experience from time to time.

Today, if you can help someone reach their goals, lend a hand to them. In time, all things come full circle and maybe, just maybe, people will start telling the truth.

Valentines Day

2008-02-14T12:35:00.000-08:00

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

2008-02-13T13:50:00.000-08:00

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.

Straight to ya'

2008-02-11T18:34:00.000-08:00

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

2008-02-10T09:23:00.000-08:00

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

2008-02-09T09:28:00.000-08:00

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

2008-02-08T19:42:00.000-08:00

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

2008-02-03T05:44:00.000-08:00

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.
