Basketball: I Know What You Did Last Summer

Look in the mirror. Who are you? See with "Coaches' Eyes." 

Be honest. When you walk into the office do you have a seriousness of purpose, eye contact, and a firm handshake? 

Are you the same player or someone better - more skilled, making better decisions, more athletic, mentally tougher? 

What do our eyes tell us? 

  • Are you more explosive taking the ball to the basket?
  • Do you cheat the drill? 
  • What is your 'go to' and 'counter' move? 
  • Name your four ways to score. "Show me." 
  • How do you respond to pressure - having to make two free throws?

  • Maybe all won't be true. But you still have time to do more, to become more. Start today.

    Lagniappe 2. The shooting game is '16'.

    Many ways to play. No rebounder.

    • Golf style. Out and back. Make 16 in a row. 
    • Golf style. See how many shots it takes to make all 16.
    • Two in a row to advance to the next spot. How many shots? 
    • Time limit. Make 16 in under 90 seconds. Then try making consecutive shots at each spot before the next spot and finish under two minutes.
