By making the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body stronger, you'll lessen the occurrence of injury and improve performance on the court. Alan Stein's drills and exercises utilize minimal training equipment, making it easy to train your players to the fullest extent on any budget.

Plyometrics
In order for a player to be more explosive on the court you have to do two things in training: Strengthen all the muscles of the body, primarily the hips, the lower body and core. You also have to practice jumping and practice being explosive. Stein's detailed training methods include both jumps onto and off of boxes teaching you how to land properly and how the exercises translate to the numerous on-court jumping and landing situations.
