Expectations are simple. Clients should expect to leave my sessions with a better knowledge of the game. They should feel themselves improving in offensive areas. They will work hard. My drills include ball handling, form shooting, free throw shooting, dribble moves, moving without the ball, footwork techniques, hand eye coordination exercises, and combination skills. I start a workout with low intensity drills and then progress with higher intensity drills. Some drills require props to be used such as chairs, cones, tennis balls, etc.
