All Access Basketball Practice with Ed Madec

Fresno City College head coach Ed Madec opens his doors to several days of practice, weight lifting, and individual development in this All Access DVD. Get a glimpse of how has he made his teams some of the toughest in the country. Coach Madec teaches you the basic format of his dribble drive motion offense and their up tempo running game that lead them to eight Elite Eight Championships.

Disc 1: Weight Lifting

• Build your culture starting in the weight room and translating that onto the basketball court
• Use a medicine ball to build strength and develop great basketball habits
• Create explosiveness with power lifts such as the snatch, clean, and front squat

Coach Madec gives you an inside look at how his players train during the regular season to get themselves strong physically. You'll see a medicine ball routine that not only works on core strength, but on passing and the rip through technique that requires your players to be strong with the basketball. The players then use weights to perform a variety of power exercises to increase their strength and explosiveness.

You will see how Coach Madec incorporates the use of a shot clock and game situations in the weight room to keep his players mentally tough and always thinking about their performance on the court. With each set, you will see full body exercises and workouts that allow you to maximize your time in the weight room during the regular season.

Disc 2: Practice 1

• Learn break-down drills that ingrain good offensive habits for a motion style of play
• Learn Blood Drills for 4v4 and 5v5 that allow for teaching in a scrimmage situation while keeping play up-tempo
• Learn Fire Progression drills that work on playing fast with control in the open court under ball pressure

Coach Madec opens his practice sessions by putting his players through mental and physical challenges to raise the maturity level of his young players. With each drill, he sets out to create a special atmosphere and team chemistry and to instill the culture of his program. Madec demonstrates a variety of drills that will require your players to push their limits.

This practice includes drills that develop the fast break, rebounding toughness, finishing around the rim, competitive shooting and operating in the open court without turnovers. You will learn several 5-on-0, 5-on-5, and 3-on-3 drills that incorporate all skills instead of breaking down drills into individual skill sets.

Disc 3: Individual Improvement

• Develop a killer step back move to create space for open shots
• Teach post players inside moves to help them score easily around the basket
• Breakdown drills that can help your players develop scoring options from a specific aspect of the offense

In this hour long practice session, Coach Madec uses stations to develop wings, post players, and point guards. These stations emphasize ball handling skill work, shooting, post moves off the screen, on the block, on ball screen, and king of the court where his players are competing against each other in a 2-on-2 shooting drill.

Coach takes the point guards and wings through some of the basic fundamentals that he believes are necessary to run an offense and limit turnovers. Dribble moves focus on in this session include the crossover, hesitation and escape dribble. The guards work on shooting pulls ups and step backs to create space, good secondary moves that will prepare them as the help defense steps up and getting balanced and staying in the flow after using these moves to prepare them for the shot opportunity created.

Coach Madec demonstrates several full and half court chair drills you can use to teach your players to attack, change speed, and explode by their defender while dribbling in the open court. Your players will learn where the attacking angles will be as they come off of a ball screen or from a stagger screen off the ball.

Post players work on low post moves with the jump hook. When attacking the middle the posts work on a crow hop, which allows the post player to take the space the defender may give you. Posts work on looking for the cutters before executing any move and they practice screening and how to come of the screen. They work at keeping defenders on the back once they open up after setting a screen. Shooting is practiced by faking a screen and then moving either to the hoop for a layup or to the outside for a shot.

Disc 4: Practice 2

• Learn how to efficiently practice your offense using 5-on-0 drills
• Use the competitive 4-on-4-on-4 Cut Throat Drill to teach your offensive system
• Use the Six Trips drill to integrate fast breaks into your offense and challenge players' ability to process commands

All Access videos are designed to allow viewers from all over the world to see how successful coaches run their practices in a "live" practice setting. All Access videos allow viewers to see the practices un-edited and in real-time. You will see how top coaches run their drills, interact with their team and staff, how they motivate their team, the cue words they use, the atmosphere of the practice and how practices are structured from day to day. Many coaches visit successful colleges and high schools to watch practice. But if you live out of state or out of the country, visiting another coach's gym can be costly. That's why we created the All Access Practice Series of videos -- to bring the practices to you!
