Balanced Conditioning for Basketball

with Robert Taylor,
Loyola College (MD) Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

When it comes to injury prevention and maximum performance, expert advice is crucial. Coach Taylor reveals some of the techniques he uses to get the most out of athletes from the amateur to the professional ranks. He walks you through a number of exercises and drills that are designed to fit seamlessly into a 60-90 minute practice session. Starting with a quick stick workout, Taylor provides a series of on-court demonstrations that will increase the foot speed and coordination of all participants. The practice session then progresses to include sideline core training, jump and landing training, speed ladder exercises, hurdle workouts, and reaction drills. In addition, Taylor introduces a number of basketball court agility drills that can help your athletes make game situation adaptations in a few days, rather than weeks. The session concludes with a series of partner stretching exercises to provide your athletes with the health benefits associated with flexibility training. If you are looking to help your athletes perform at their peak while also minimizing the risk of injury, this balanced conditioning video has what you have been searching for!
