While everyone knows that plyometrics are a necessary part of being a good basketball player… Many people don’t know HOW to use them! This can lead to doing not enough, or in most cases, too much. This often ends in overuse injuries and then no more basketball, which was the whole point. Instead of that whole nightmare follow this simple layout for plyo’s! Start with pogo hops. An easy way to include them is to do them as a warmup before pickup. Second is bounds. These help your first step speed and acceleration. Lastly you NEED skater squats. Basketball requires a lot of lateral movement. It’s often ignored in training programs leading to athletic players who can’t slide their feet or crossover nearly as effectively as they look like they could. Try these plyo’s and let me know what you think! Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/YIscrLk9yP4?si=FBZjg5-XMZSTio4a
