Success vs. Excellence "There are many people, particularly in sports, who think success and excellence are the same things, and they are not the same thing. Excellence is something that is lasting and dependable and largely within a person's control. In contrast, success is perishable and is often outside our control...If you strive for excellence, you will probably be successful eventually...People who put excellence in first place have the patience to end up with success...An additional burden for the victim of the success mentality is that he/she is threatened by the success of others and resents real excellence. In contrast, the person fascinated by quality is excited when he/she sees it in others." Joe Paterno
There are three main categories that are
focused on throughout training.
1. Ball Handling 2. The Science of Footwork 3. Corrective Shooting
While skill development is good, when done with a competitive mind set
will ensure greater success on the court in game situations. | |
Ball Handling
One
of the most basic building blocks in a player's development is ball handling
or dribbling. Every player must develop ball handling skills to handle
defensive pressure and aggressively attack the basket and score. For smaller players
dribbling skills are essential to move around bigger players and create
scoring opportunities. For taller players, ball-handling skills can be the
difference between becoming a very good player and an excellent one. Having
effective ball handlers is also a key for any team offense. Solid ball
handlers are needed to run the fast break, set up the offense and avoid the
defense, in other words, whether big or small, fast or slow,

The Science of Footwork
The game of basketball demands explosion and lightning quick movement, as well as deliberate movement of the ball and player. But the most important thing is footwork. If the feet and hands are not working effectively you cannot play. Shooting, playing defense, driving, pivoting, moving without the ball and rebounding are movements in which correct footwork is essential to complete the play. Drills used to develop correct footwork can be mastered in a minimum amount of time as long as they are done with maximum effort on an everyday basis. The more time you spend practicing these drills, the better player you will be. It is as simple as that.

Corrective Shooting
Every
player needs to confidently be able to shoot the ball. I have developed a teaching method that can easily be adapted to meet the specialized requirements for your team and those players who may need individual attention. I never force a player into a particular form, I work on proper shot mechanics and through subtle changes, the corrective measures are incorporated into players style, emphasizing his or her strong points and overcoming shooting faults quickly. |
