Basketball Training: Micheal Kirkland, Eric Vila, and Zee Hamoda

Описание: Welcome to Strive Above Others Basketball Training.

The first half of this video is a warm-up focused on ball handling, catching, shooting, and movement without the ball leading into a catch and shoot.

In the second half of the video, you’ll see more scenario-based training, allowing players to work live on specific techniques, such as the Iverson cut, a cut and pop, a driving kick, and a high pick-and-roll action.

We want to learn how to practice with purpose so players can use the training effectively. It’s important to show players that they don’t always need to have the basketball in their hands to be effective. They can relocate, set screens off the ball, or engage in various actions, but they need to be able to do things without the ball in their hands.

If you’re watching the Olympics right now, you’ll notice that many countries have great movement. In the U.S., we struggle with being effective without the ball, largely due to many training sessions being individualized. As a result, players focus on themselves instead of moving the ball properly.

Look at how the USA game works—Steph Curry excels at moving effectively without the ball. That’s what the game should be about, with players like LeBron James or Kevin Durant finding him. Understanding movement is essential for success and will help players score efficiently.

In this next phase of basketball training, we want players to ensure they know how to move without the ball. This will be critical and key, as it will separate players in the future. You can’t always have the ball in your hand, and when playing on a team, you have to find your place—sometimes that can be off the ball.

Thank you for watching. Please continue to tune in; we will be posting more basketball training videos to help those who want to improve their game, as well as trainers looking for new drills and coaches seeking to implement new strategies. We want everyone to enjoy what we have to offer, and if you find a few things you like throughout this video, we greatly appreciate it. Our goal is to help everyone together, making all these players better and better. That’s what it’s all about—helping players improve each and every day.
