Teaching Game Actions in Group Workouts
I can't stress what I am about to write enough... Player's nowadays get no where NEAR enough tactical live play. AAU can turn into a 1v1 fest, skill workouts are on-air... we can't expect our players to naturally develop basketball IQ Do your players know the following actions? - ghost - wide pin - dho - get action - double drag / 77 action - double drag shallow - ghost + flare - zoom - grenade - 45 cut / slot cut Those are just a few of 100+ options - as I've gotten older and matured + gained knowledge of the game, I've realized how important this baseline of knowledge is. "Skills" matter less, and my pattern recognition and knowledge of the game matter more I am better than ever when I play yet I rarely "workout" as a basketball player anymore How do you teach these actions? Introduce 1-3 at a time and allow your players to explore, try, implement, fail, and REPEAT Below is an example of how I like to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASk3cLTcrp0 Let me know your thoughts below, and I hope you all have a great weekend.
