Having been mentored as an assistant coach under two of the greatest coaches of all time--Mike Krzyzewski and Morgan Wooten--Mike Brey now brings his unique knowledge and experience to you.

In this All-Access Practice video set, you will see Coach Brey's philosophy on offense and defense. You will learn the drills he uses to not only warm up players but get them lots of shots in the process. You will gain insight on practice planning, spacing, and defending screens. You will see how Coach Brey sets up his 4-Out 1-In offense, how quickly he progresses to 5-on-5 in his practice and how he teaches his players to pride themselves in getting defensive stops.

You'll see how Brey uses sets to start and keep players moving through the motion offense. The key here is that players become familiar with the workings of the offense and each other. Brey then adds options that the team can run to take advantage of opponents. He includes competitive shooting drills for both the guards and posts, which become incorporated in motion drills. The players move and shoot according to the calls made by coach. You'll learn spacing, timing, player movement and ball reversals and the need for players to develop patience and allow options to develop to their benefit.

You'll also see Coach Brey and his coaching staff reviewing film of the third practice of their season. The coaches discuss what the players do and don't do well. The coaches present the practice film clips to the players and use it to teach the players the right way to play with all the freedom the offense provides.

You will learn how to improve your players' offensive productivity by giving them freedom to make reads and plays and get a refreshing new perspective on open-minded coaching that includes learning from what your players do well and trial and error in scrimmages.

Incorporate the methods used by Mike Brey and have your players ready to compete from the opening tip.

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!
