Learn across disciplines. If your season is over, start preparing for next season and become more athletic.
This site informs great tips for building athleticism.
Other considerations:
1. Jump rope training. Invest five minutes.
2. Tabata training to build aerobic capacity (on-off high intensity interval training)
3. Play basketball, a lot. It's not always easy to find full court intense games, but conditioning within game play offers offense, defense, decision-making, and competition.
4. Work out with a teammate. Drag each other higher on the competitive ladder.
5. "Winners are trackers." Be a tracker. Compete for your PB (personal best) within your favorite shooting drills. Add constraints, such as "I have to make X number over Y seconds" and rest/recover by taking two free throws.
