A player’s basketball training is the foundation of their success. They need to be in the gym 3-4 times a week working on ball handling, shooting, strength and conditioning. This training will elevate their game and make them better able to compete against other players.
Injuries are the most common setbacks in basketball and they can be avoided by a smart training program. The injuries most commonly seen in basketball athletes are ankle sprains, patellofemoral pain syndrome (kneecap pain) and ACL injuries. These can be prevented by a combination of a proper warm up phase, high intensity training, the use of correct shoes and stretching.
Another important aspect of a successful basketball workout is the use of conditioning drills like uphill sprints. These are not only great for improving endurance but also dramatically improve explosive power and lower body strength.
Another essential basketball drill is catching from the perimeter. This can be done with partners or against defenders. To start, players stand with their backs to a bench or bleachers and assume the defensive stance position – feet shoulder width apart, back straight, head up and hands in front of them. They are then given a pass from their partner who is standing in the foul line extended area. The player then catches the ball and dribbles into the middle of the key, veering towards the elbow that the chair is placed on. After they pass the chair they shoot a short jump shot.
