You trained all summer to be ready for the season, now it's time for you to make this your best season yet by developing the habits of the top college players I've worked with over the past 20 years, training with a purpose throughout the season. That's what this program will do for you. Through out the 12 week program you'll find:

  1. Day after game sessions to help recover from the game and have you rejuvenated and prepared for a great practice that day
  2. Progressive warm ups to help take care of common "issues" with hoopers
  3. A simple and highly effective way to keep yourself "feeling bouncy" throughout the grind of the season
  4. Lifts designed to help you be and feel more explosive, to have you come out game day ready to fly around

These progressions have helped our athlete's continue to grow and develop the entire season, and be at their absolute best come March, and can do the same for you. Tap in and bring your training habits to the next level and watch your on court production SOAR this season!

FAQs
Will this mess up my jump shot?
No, not as long as you are practicing your skills every day at practice. In fact, getting stronger and more explosive SHOULD help you increase your shooting range!
4 days seems a lot, is it too much?
You’re building up the routine and adding weight and intensity of movements as you go. 4 day’s a week of lifting for 30-45 minutes while you’re in your competitive season should be the minimum for you to continue to grow, develop, and help keep your body healthy
When should I start?
I would do week 1 the week BEFORE your first game. That gives you the chance to feel out the program, and if there is any soreness (which there may be but only the first time or two) you can work your way through that
What if we don’t have 2 days between games?
Then I’d do which ever day makes you feel better. If you’re a little sore from the past game, do Day 1. If you feel good and are ready to go, then do Day 2. Beat up and tired? Maybe you just take the day and do the rolling and stretching and come back to training after the next game.
