Alan Stein, Elite Athlete Training Systems|”Building a Championship Program With Off Season

Workouts”

Works with Montrose Christian

o Trained Kevin Durant

What you

want

as

a coach

during

the

season

needs

to

be

taught

and

emphasized

all

year

Can’t just flip the switch on once season comes around‐it’s an all year deal

Conditioned Response‐Pavlov’s dog

The days of sitting in a circle stretching before a practice or game are long gone

You need a 3‐4 minute warmup (ex. Tennis ball drills) followed by a 3‐4 minute dynamic

flexibility

Tennis Ball Drills

1)

Two teammates pass a tennis ball back and forth while moving the length of the court

Calling names the whole time

4 variations to drill:

o Catching only with inside hand (running)

o Catching only with outside hand (running)

o Throwing behind the back (running)

o Defensive slides catching and throwing only with the right and then the left

2)

One person has tennis ball in each hand while the defensive player is in a defensive stance

The person with the tennis balls drops one and the other tries to release from the stance and

catch the ball before it bounces twice

3) Have 1 player turned around, when he hears “ball” he must turn around and find the tennis ball

which was thrown before the player could see where it went

4) 1 player is lying down, other player rolls the ball one way or another and the other guy has to get up

and chase after it

5) Two ball drop

One player has a ball in each hand

Player with no tennis balls has a hand on top of the other guys’ hands

Player

with

tennis

balls

drops

1

and

the

other

has

to

react

and

catch

the

tennis

ball

before

it

hits

the ground

“Get back” Drill (right)

Coach signals which direction players should slide

When coach says “get back” players release

stance & turn and run

“Sprint and retreat” Drill

Players sprint

and

when

coach

yells

“retreat”

players retreat and then coach yells “break” to

sprint again

“Suicide Square” Drill

1st cone: SprintSide stepBackpedal

2nd cone: SprintSide stepBackpedalnext corner

of the

floor

“Teams are physically at their weakest when they need to be

strongest” ‐Alan Stein

Everyone does off ‐season lifting, but in‐season lifting is also

necessary once or twice a week to keep the strength when you

need it down the stretch.

“The Car Wash” using heavy balls

Two coaches are in the middle of the key

One player at a time tries to score in the paint by getting through the two coaches (the car

wash)

Coaches don’t let them score…slap, foul, etc.

As a team, must score 7

Fullcourt Layup Tip Drill

Very good conditioner

Team has to try and keep both sides going without letting the ball

touch the ground

“1,2,3 Drill”

Have 4 players at 4 corners of the center circle in a stance

When coach calls 1 the players sprint to their corner and sprint back

When coach calls 2 the players sprint to their backboard and jump as high as possible and

backpedal back

When coach calls 3 the players defensive slide to the sideline and run back

Comments:

Get guys to compete using rewards instead of punishments

Dribbling with

heavy

balls

is

great

Sherri Coale, Oklahoma|”Little Things that Matter”

Everything starts with practice planning

o Single most important thing to make team better

o Each day:

Thought for the day (maybe an email)

Emphasis for offense and defense

Pre‐practice ritual (same order of events)

• Most ritualistic people in the world: neurosurgeons!

“Most important thing you’re doing is whatever you were doing while you were doing it”

o It’s not what you are doing, it’s how you are doing it

Non‐stop communication

o Echo concept

Have players echo the name of the drill

o Clapping school

If you’re going to clap, do it right

Players need clapping school sometimes

o Tell 1 player the next drill and have them transition into it by communicating with their

team

o Catch the kid who doesn’t talk

Once you catch them, they will communicate a lot more

If they don’t talk during practice they won’t when it counts either

When watching

basketball:

o Plug into one or two things (an offensive and/or defensive concept)

o You will be surprised at how much more you learn by watching for specifics

o Don’t be the person who watches without even realizing they are watching

Post Players: GET YOUR NUMBERS TO THE BALL!

Offensive Concept: Center the ball

o Get the ball to the middle 1/3 of the floor every 2 or 3 seconds

Walk the arc

o o Instead of v‐cutting

Fake a pass to make a pass

o 1 fake, don’t get carried away

o If it didn’t work the first time it won’t work!

Catch the ones doing right more than wrong

o Find the unbelievables!

o When you reward the ones doing right, the ones doing wrong will immediately change

their actions

Tony Barone, Memphis Grizzlies|”The Fast Break‐ Philosophy and Development”

Warmup:

Mini‐3 man weave (staying in the lane)

Medium‐3 man weave (just outside of the key)

o Up and back

Regular 3 man weave (staying wide)

John Brady, LSU|Tiger Basketball

• Responsibility + Accountability= Success

• “You get what you tolerate.”

o As a coach if you let a bad pass or turnover go unnoticed and uncorrected during

practice how can you be surprised when your team loses the ball in a game?

• Players think offensively by nature

o As a coach, first few practices of season need to be primarily defense since that is what

is unnatural

o When a guy wants the key to the gym, he wants to shoot not do defensive slides

• 2 man inbounds ball vs press

o Posts are not usually good passers so why would you have them inbound?

• Ballhandling warmup

o Change direction, change speed

o Crossover, through the legs, behind the back, and spin
