Drills


Multiple Basketball Workouts in one video.


Tire Flip- 
For gaining over all strength. The benefits gained are aerobic and strength. It will benefit in basketball shooting for strength and stability when shooting. There is a correct method to flipping for getting the most out of it. 

The basic technique is to stand about 18-24 inches from the tire, squat down, and place your hands under the tire. Place your hands about 12 inches apart, with a grip on the tread. If the tread doesn't allow you to reach underneath, or the tire is too narrow so you can't put your chest into it, it is best to use a wide grip, and pull into your body. This way you can use the tension from pulling the tire toward your body, and the power from pushing your chest into the tire, to lift it off the ground.

Once you have a good grip, lift up on the tire to break it free from the ground. As the tire starts to come up. drive your chest into it and push as if you were driving a football blocking sled. As you step forward, drive your knee upward into the tire, giving it an push upward. This will help you get the tire moving upward, then you need to follow through in one continuous motion, pushing the tire over.

Tire Pull with Rope-
 Improving conditioning and takes your fitness to another level.  Improved core and shoulder girdle strength. This will help you develop strength for your shot. The arms are to be kept horizontally abducted while back peddling. This increases your strength for your shots.

Squat, lift, and raise weight with one hand at a time-
This exercise emphasizes the same form used during all of  the shot phases. It targets the muscles used during a shot and strengthens them. This will also allow for muscle memory being that it is the same kinetic linking as a shot.
