What's your offseason program...your work on your body, skill, knowledge, and resilience? Are you tracking it?
Start with your MUST, NEED, WANT list. Trim to essentials. List as many drills as possible, then kill your darlings.
Here's a specific list that I created for a player.
Review a game film and your performance.
- What was the shot quality of EACH shot? (Balance, range, openness, rhythm)
- Review your shot mechanics for EACH shot?
- Did you use the backboard appropriately?
- How was your defensive positioning?
Pro Tip: Include shooting off the glass as part of your routine
Pro Tip 2: Include a small number of emergency shots (fallaways, flyaways, double pump)...if you take 500 shots, maybe 20 should be "bad shots practiced"
Lagniappe: Ladders (via Coach Castellaw)
Vary the Drill
Number of spots
Sequence (e.g. 13524 spots)
Restart if miss two consecutive shots (force concentration)
Tracking
Time (makes/2 minutes)
How many in a row?
"Seek Personal Best"
Finish each 'radian' with two free throws
Get a rebounder (partner)
Lagniappe 2: Nova Get 50
"Don't tell me you can't; show me you do."
