The Havoc Strength & Conditioning Program The strength and conditioning of your players is critical to your team’s success during the season. Daniel Roose, strength and conditioning coach for men’s basketball at the University of Texas, takes you through a workout that prepares players to create havoc from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Roose is a nationally certified strength and conditioning coach who worked with Texas head coach Shaka Smart at Virginia Commonwealth University and moved to Texas with him. He begins his presentation by explaining that incoming players must learn the basics of strength training before they move into a workout similar to the one Roose shares. Dynamic Warmup The session begins with six dynamic warm-up phases to get blood flowing to the muscles and to increase the heart rate. With the six phases, you will see three general warm-ups to prepare the body for any workout and then three basketball-specific warm-ups. These serve to help players learn to control their body working on game-like movements. 5 Basic Movements for Strength & Conditioning Coach Roose then teaches the five basic training movements: squat, hinge, push, pull, and loaded carry. Four examples of each movement are provided. They are easy to replicate and coaches can choose which exercises to use based on players’ needs. Litvinov Method Roose uses the Litvinov Method to increase heart rate and condition players. It is somewhat non-conventional but helps players stay conditioned and not feel so beat up during the season. The Litvinov Method has a player perform a heavy lift from the basic movement section followed by a fast and explosive exercise. In addition, Coach Roose includes a metabolic workout and shows you how he uses it in-season and in the offseason. Teams at VCU and Texas have been some of the best defenses in the country in recent years and there is no question that some of it is related to the work Coach Roose has done. His workout is very well developed and can be used with athletes that have knowledge of the basic lifts. Use Coach Roose’s program to wreak havoc on opponents all season long!

This technique is geared toward training around an exercise’s weak link so as to focus on intensely training the muscles that are targeted. Making certain muscles to be pre-fatigued can help to create a higher intensity of training on muscles that are not always used during compound joint exercises. Bradley actually uses this technique in about 40% of training sessions because it is very effective and powerful.   Protocols The protocols segment is centered mostly on advanced protocols which can be employed to make routines more intense while adding variety. Cadence lifting and low momentum training are the topics which are addressed here since they are both used to the enhance intensity and also lower force levels.

All three were former Coaches of the Year who trained Forbes. In three-plus seasons at ETSU, Forbes is 91-33 and has three 20-win seasons and an NCAA bid. Forbes has molded together an offense that relies heavily on motion and big men with perimeter skills. In this video, you will see how he has taken the “Two Game” scheme and simplified it into a system that stresses misdirection on the perimeter to take advantage of defenses. Forbes shares the basics of his offense as well as some of his quick hitters and how he deals with special situations. Basics of the High Low Motion Offense With a philosophy of less is more, Coach Forbes’ system utilizes only a handful of motions, movements, and sets. Learning these allows players the freedom to move and react based on how a defense is playing. The offense is continuous by nature and Forbes teaches players to be quick and precise and flow from one set to another seamlessly. Known as “Two Game,” the High/Low Motion offense is great for teams that are not blessed with great size as the offense relies more on spacing and movement. Forbes shows you his basic box alignment that goes into a 1-4 high set that has four different entries for the point guard. The offense can be run from either side of the floor with the various entry points available. One option is to get the ball to either wing. The point then cuts to either corner with the posts getting to their spots on the floor. This entry is designed to work the defense from inside out reversing the basketball or getting an open 3-pointer. Forbes also shows you the high post entry from a 1-4 alignment. With this option, there is the backdoor for the ball-side wing, a fade screen for the point guard, as well as a double down screen. The dribble option is also reviewed complete with zipper cut, middle ball screen, and the “Z action.” Quick Hitters & Special Situations for the High Low Motion Offense Forbes also presents a collection of his best quick hitters gathered from all of his coaching stops.

Conditioning Drills for Basketball that are High Energy Findlay Prep (NV) head basketball coach Michael Peck has built one of the strongest programs in the nation utilizing full court drills that serve multiple purposes. Peck’s drills not only teach his offensive and defensive systems, they are also incredible conditioning tools helping to build stamina while still learning basketball. Peck’s Findlay Prep teams have been ranked among the top five in the nation over the past several years and they won three ESPN NHSI Championships in the five years between 2008 and 2012. Peck has helped produce four NBA draft picks in two years. His high octane drills are part of the reason. In this 59-minute video, Peck takes you into his practice sessions where you will see his high-energy, full court practice drills. Whether it is transition offense or drills stressing defensive footwork, Peck addresses how coaches can add conditioning to the drill to help build stamina as well as basketball skills. The Findlay Four Defensive Drills are a set of full court drills that are an excellent method of building defensive endurance and maintaining proper technique for an entire game. Each individual drill incorporates the basic fundamental principles of Findlay Prep’s defense. Collectively, the drills address so many facets of the game that the Findlay Four Defensive Series is a must-have in the daily practice plan. Conditioning Drills for Basketball - Transition  Coach Peck uses a four-player transition drill to add conditioning on the offensive end of the floor. Players learn to push the ball up the floor using as little dribbling as possible. The idea is to run, pass, and score an easy bucket in the open court. The drill is great for point guards too as they learn to see the floor better. The 160 Drill and the 4 Drill are great for teaching players to focus when they are tired. Players learn to finish at the rim and are forced to maximize their dribble and scoring ability in the open court. All of the drills that Coach Peck demonstrates in the video are multi-functional and meet the needs of any team regardless of the offensive or defensive style played. Combining drill work and condition makes for a more efficient practice and keeps players from simply “playing the drill.” Players may not even realize they are conditioning while practicing. Conditioning can be much more effective when not viewed as punishment. Coach Peck’s drills can help you control your tempo and condition your players at the same time.

High Rep Individual and Team Shooting Drills Teams that can shoot from anywhere on the floor are extremely dangerous and have the ability to be successful no matter the offensive system. Former Gonzaga assistant and Drake University head coach Ray Giacoletti shares over 20 drills that focus on improving shooting skills. You will see drills that help players shoot off the dribble, off of ball screens, in transition, and more. These drills will help your players refine their shooting technique and build muscle memory, which are keys in improving accuracy. 3-Point License Want players you can trust to make long-range shots? Have them earn their 3-point license. Coach Giacoletti uses the license as a measuring stick to select which players have the right to shoot from long-range at any time. This drill helps players shoot 3s off the pass, off the dribble, and off of screening actions. You can push players to become consistent shooters from behind the 3-point arc by having them earn their license. Individual Shooting Drills Repetition helps build muscle memory which is a key to developing a long-range shooting touch.

High Rep Skill Development Drills Former Owens Community College head coach Dave Clarke shows you how to run skill development drills with 12 to 15 players at a time. With high school teams having fewer coaches, Clarke shows you how to get players the repetitions they need to enhance their skill level. The drills are easy to teach and help coaches use their time efficiently while preparing players for the season. Dribbling Skill Development Clarke does a great job of combining skills into a single drill. The Cone Drill, for example, is one where players make various offensive moves and finish at the hoop with a variety of game-like scoring moves. Clarke calls it the Cone Drill but actually uses chairs and players perform the fundamental cross-over, behind the back, and spin moves through them. One of Clarke’s favorite moves is the floater. His players use it as well as reverse layups, a series of powerful jump stops, and mid-range jump shots to attack the basket. Passing Skill Development One of the lost arts in basketball is passing. When Clarke took over the program at Owens, he saw a need to get back to basic passing fundamentals. His teams improved their turnover percentage as a result. In games, most passes are side-to-side, yet so many passing drills emphasize straight ahead passes. Clarke puts more emphasis on the former. He demonstrates drills that teach players to rip the ball, step up to a pass, and use the proper footwork when throwing a pass. The passing drills include different ways to fake and how to use the dribble to improve passing angles. One drill you will see shows you how easy it is to teach and how the drill can change your team’s performance. Shooting Skill Development Successful teams are those that can shoot from anywhere on the court. In “Dave’s Shooting Drill,” Coach Clarke puts players at various angles. Players shoot from the elbow, the corner 3-pointer, and more as the drill covers all possible game shots. Players are constantly moving through the drill and working on other aspects of their game as they develop their shot. Throughout his entire presentation, Clarke emphasizes the value of having the whole team working on the same concepts at the same time. The idea of developing the complete basketball player helps all athletes reach their potential and, ultimately, leads to team success. Rent this Basketball Skill Development DVD today.
