I focus on what the player feels he needs to work on first of all. After we shoot around a bit I can see from there what he needs to improve on. First we will start off with stationary ball handling to get the juices flowing. Then we will do some dribbling on the move (sideline to sideline). Next will be some stretching to get loose. Afterwards we go into a few drills specifically working on what the focus is in the training. Next we do some form shooting and around 200 shots both stationary and off the dribble. Another drill after shooting, then some 1 on 1 with pressure to toughen up the player. Two free throws in between the drill plus two in a row to finish the session.

Client Reviews

Our family just moved here from Maine and my son was looking to polish up his basketball skills before tryouts. We decided to purchase a trial session through CoachUp with Dante Watson to see if the coaching was what we were looking for.

My son was quick to say during a water break that the training was tough but awesome and worth it. He really felt at ease with Dante and respects him. Dante was very motivating and always prepared to punt based on what he felt Luke needed to work on.
I would highly recommend Dante and we plan to continue training with him.
