Before the session begins, I see what the players goals are and what area of their game they are looking to improve. Once this has been identified, I will tailor the drills to meet the goals. An hour session would entail: Dynamic warm-up (plyometrics & light running), Stretching, Guards: Ball Handling, shooting (focus on technique and repetition), Defense (Technique and drills), and conditioning. Post Players: Ball Handling, 15 ft and in shooting, Post moves, post defense, and conditioning.
