How We Help Basketball Trainers

If you are currently a basketball trainer or would like to become one we have many resources to help you in the career of basketball training.  One of the keys to being a good basketball trainer and suceeding in the business is being knowledgeable.  Here at HoopsKing we have worked with some of the best basketball trainers in the world:

  • Jason Otter - Famous for his Point Guard Elite Camps

The basketball trainers above have been very successful and we would suggest you start by looking at the materials we have available from them.  It's not just about the drills they do but how they teach, the enthusiasm they have, the incredible skill they possess, and their passion for basketball.  Being a great basketball trainer is a lot more than just doing some fancy looking drills.

Videos for Basketball Trainers

Now of course you should checkout all of the videos we have for the trainers above first.  But we also rent instructional basketball DVDs through the mail so you can learn from all the top coaches in the game.  We have over 900 DVD titles for rent which if you study you will master each segment of the game you are focusing on.  You will see different teaching methods from coaches.  This is key to being a great trainer and being able to reach various players.  Not all students learn the same.  Some get it from being told and others get it from being shown and by watching various coaches teach the same subject it will give you new ideas and help develop your style and help you reach any player.

If any of these situations sound familiar then listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you. Hi, my name is Coach Chris and here's the TRUTH you need to know about the importance of athleticism in basketball! Players that run faster, jump higher, have a quick first step, and can move laterally quickly have a big advantage over other players! No matter how skilled you are, athleticism will be very important in how high of a level of basketball you play. Skills being equal the more athletic player ALWAYS wins. NBA Players Using Resistance Bands like the P.R.O. Bands... Here's Your Big Problem In fact, here's the biggest problem you face right now. It's time. I'm sure you thinking I don't have time to do "more", I am already so busy... and I get it. Everyone is busy running from game to game, practice to practice! So how can you jump higher, get to the hoop quicker, and get stronger without doing extra workouts? I'd like to introduce you to P.R.O. (Progressive Resistance Overload) Resistance Bands help you jump higher, get a stronger lower and upper body, and build explosiveness without doing a bunch of additional workouts. P.R.O. Bands are the most versatile training tool a basketball player can have to Jump Higher, Get to the Basket Quicker, Lockdown Opponents on Defense, and Improve overall Athleticism. Used by the Pros, these bands are a great tool for unlocking explosiveness hidden away in your muscle fibers that you just need to bring out to take your game and athleticism up another level. JUMP HIGHER The P.R.O. Bands can used with our without weights to increase your vertical jump so you get those inches you need to dunk and grab more rebounds. DEVELOP STRENGTH Build Strength that will give you an advantage over other players at your level allowing you to dominate and prepare yourself for the next level by getting a stronger upper and lower body. INCREASE QUICKNESS While every player wants to dunk - quickness is the most important piece of athleticism you can have as a basketball player because you use it all the time on offense and defense. Whether you are trying to beat a defender off the dribble or you are trying not to get beat off the dribble - the quicker player will usually win. ACHIEVE ELITE ATHLETCISM All players have Fast Twitch Muscle fibers that give you your explosiveness on the court. The good thing is these can be developed through training so you can increase the amount of Fast Twitch Mucles fibers that you have! This means you haven't tapped your potential as an athlete and can greatly improve your explosiveness on the court. EASY TO USE ANYWEHRE The P.R.O. Bands are easy to take in any bag and don't require extra equipment to use. Take the bands to the court, use them in your house, outside, or wherever. Building explosive couldn't be any more convenient. WHY P.R.O. BANDS WILL WORK FOR YOU P.R.O. Bands are the Most Versatile training tool you can add to your training that will set you apart from other players. THE P.R.O. BANDS WILL HELP YOU GET TO THE BASKET QUICKER Wear the PRO Bands around your waist to add resistance to all of your dribble moves. This will do Two Big Things for your game... 1. The added resistance will force more muscle fibers to be used building more strength and speed. And since these are quick explosive moves to the basket that means fast twitch muscle fibers are being activated and developed that will make you faster and quicker to the hoop. 2. You can really lean into the bands and get lower like the Pros do. Most high school players and below play standing up and don't get low enough. Getting lower means you will naturally be quicker and faster because you'll be able to cover more ground than you will standing up. It's just simple physics and the PRO Bands will really help you lean into the move and get low. Don't Have Weights? No Problem! Don't have a set of weights sitting around the house or is the weight room often locked at your school? You can do strength training exercises to increase your vertical jump right at home. Squats, Lunges, and more are easily done anywhere with the PRO Bands. With multiple levels of resistance available the bands are a great way to increase your upper and lower body strength which will make you a better athlete and basketball player. The P.R.O. Bands are a great and safe way to introduce players as young as elementary school how to properly and safely start to lift weights. You can use the bands to do just about any weight lifting move without the fear of injury or an accident. FAST TWITCH EXPLOSION TRAINING Here's where you can blast your gains to another level. Add the bands to a barbell and you'll recruit more fast twitch muscle fibers throughout the movement. At the top of movements is when the bands kick in to their maximum resistance which means you have more resistance through the entire movement. IMPROVE FLEXIBILTY with Deeper & Fuller Stretches WHICH LEADS TO BEING MORE EXPLOSIVE Many players look over the role flexibility plays in their explosiveness on the court. The further you can move a muscle the more force you can produce. It's that simple. Increase the range of motion of your muscles through flexibility training with the P.R.O. Bands and you'll produce more force in your vertical jump, drives to the basket, and your lateral quickness. Increased flexibility will help you get lower and stay lower which will make you more explosive on the court. EVEN MORE BENEFITS OF THE P.R.O. BANDS Using the bands to build strength has the following advantages: Can be done right on the court without the need for a weight room or a bunch of equipment You can feel a greater and deeper burn in your muscles with resistance bands than you can with weights. You can't cheat with momentum when using bands like you can with weights. Resistance bands aren't hard on the joints like free weights can be. Bands are perfect for in-season strength training so you don't wear down already tired athletes. FAST RESULTS IN A SHORT TIME In as little as 10 minutes or less, you can get in strength training with the P.R.O. Basketball resistance bands right on the court. Easy to store and easy to bring out to the court. Resistance bands are also much less expensive than free weights. You can outfit your entire team with several or more bands for what you would pay for a handful of dumbbells. HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZED P.R.O. BANDS Black Band - Small Size: 41" Length x 3/4" width (10-30 lbs. resistance) Recommended for: Elementary to Junior High The small P.R.O. Bands are best for younger players but even high school students can use the small band for some of the upper body strength training exercises such as Thrusters and Push Ups. Purple Band - Medium Size: 41" Length x 1 1/4" width (30-50 lbs. resistance) Recommended for: Junior High to High School, & College female The medium P.R.O. Bands are best for Junior High and up.

Green Band - Large Size: 41" Length x 2 1/4" width (65-85 lbs. resistance) Recommended for: High School & Up The Large P.R.O. Bands are best for Explosiveness training with older athletes as they will not be able to stretch the band too far. Use the green bands for building leg strength by doing squats and more with stronger high school and up athletes. Doing upper body exercises with the large band will require a strong athlete if you are going to incorporate an exercise like Thrusters. Blue Band - X-Large Size: 41" Length x 1 3/4" width (100-150 lbs. resistance) Recommended for: College & Up The X-Large P.R.O.
