The best athletes are incredible movers who have these qualities, but can also create the most space and power in the least amount of time. The Basketball Movement Speed Program is designed to transform you into an explosive, twitchy, shifty, and efficient mover on the court.

Key Program Highlights and Outcomes:

● Movement Speed: Improve your ability to become a fast and efficient mover, leading to better opportunity to sell your moves, blow past your defenders and play lockdown defense.

● Explosive Movement: Amplify your in game explosiveness, particularly in lower positions, enable you to execute explosive moves with precision and speed.

● Change of Direction: Sharpen your change of direction deceleration, acceleration, speed and explosiveness on both ends of the floor.

● Offensive and Defensive Dominance: Acquire the physical and neurological skills to assert your dominance and gain confidence on the floor, allowing you to own your positioning in any situation and gain better leverage to dictate the game.

The Basketball Movement Speed Program is a 10 week progressive program structured into 3 phases: Own Your Shapes, Brake Building, Load & Explode, and Cheetah Speed, each targeting specific aspects of athletic development to enhance overall basketball performance, leading to a more impactful and successful presence on the court.

Proven Training At ALL Levels

IF you have ambitions and dreams to be the best basketball player on the court, this is where that all starts!

Training That Translates
The training we do in the weight room should reflect what we see on the court or field and in life. And the training we do should PREPARE our athletes for what they will see. Sport is chaotic and unpredictable. At the end of the day, the number one job as a strength and conditioning coach is longevity. The best ability is availability.

Basketball is 3D movement.
We’re operating in all planes of motion and in a variety of angles and positions. Therefore, I believe our training needs to reflect those demands, movements, angles, and positions in order to fully prepare athletes for the game of basketball (and life). Fascial training is a perfect way to accomplish this and train the lines of the body that best transfer to athletic endeavor.
