'The Big Fella' - Post Skill Workouts!

with Ganon Baker;

Ganon Baker presents a post skill developmental workout to improve your hands, ball handling, footwork, balance, as well as shows how to get open and versatile moves from different spots on the floor. Baker's teaching points in the post are feet are balance, legs are strength, 'your hips are your explosion' and 'your hands are your weapons!' He demonstrates potent scoring moves for four key areas of the floor: in the paint area (the Tim Duncan series), the mid-post (the Kevin Garnett series), the high post, and, short corner (the Amare Stoudemire series). To make your player more versatile in the post, the jump hook, a counter to the jump hook and a third alternative move are shown. In addition to the variety of scoring moves, Baker demonstrates a number of drills. He is big on two ball-handling drills for post players. These skills can develop good offensive rebounding skills as well as dribbling and concentration. Also included are exercises to improve footwork through jump rope routines, strength training through push-ups with basketballs and a defensive slide drill that teaches reaction to the ball and one-on-one play.
