Basketball: Video Review, Mental Loading Workout



New video from Basketball Manitoba (Intense shooting workout) 

Coaches coach everything including individual development. Social distancing has changed the offseason. Players seeking excellence will find alternative training of body, mind, and skill. 

Make players uncomfortable with "mental loading" of consecutive makes. Coach/partner emphasis on proper technique and "eyes up." Proper technique sets up cuts and explosive action. Develop GO TO and COUNTER action.

1. Curl off screens into catch-and-shoot jumper (technique plus 3 consecutive makes)

2. Bump off screen as "defender goes under" 

3. Catch, rip-through into one dribble shot

4. Catch, fake rip-through, return to opposite side

5. Wing catch on the move, rip-through one-dribble pullup 

6. Counter, catch, jab baseline and middle attack, pullup

7. Wing catch, attack into layup (1) or pullup (2) (must make five consecutive) 

8. Catch, open hips into 3-point shot 

9. "Range finder" - 3 in a row from three different distances (must start with a change of pace to achieve separation)

10.Lafayette - Elbow to elbow curls then middle

11.Lafayette - Extended range, maintain low hips 

12.Lafayette - Countermoves - through-the-leg, crossover

13.Five-shot replacement (make 5...of 3s, pullup, layup)
