Coach Gonzalez's philosophy is anchored in the attitude of improving ball handling, passing, shooting and overall skill level around the clock. His style is to develop players on a daily basis and expect team progress throughout the season. In the pre-season, the advantage of this program is to improve conditioning and mental toughness. The workout session opens with seven spot inside/outside pivoting. Footwork is a very important part of all improvement drills. Five dribble moves are used with the entire team, regardless of position or size. All dribble moves end with a jump stop and made shot. Gonzalez believes his workouts simulate pressure, game conditions and game speed. A good shooting conditioner requires players to shoot nine 3-point shots in 1 minute from half court. In between drills, players always shoot pressure one-and-one free throws. The "penetrate and pitch" drill helps shooters with shot preparation and quick shots. Six in 30 is a full court ball handling and lay up drill that improves concentration and conditioning. Additional drills are the 42 game, 1-on-1 Knock Out and 8 spots. Gonzalez concludes this DVD with his ideas on the joy of coaching and how coaches can maximize their experiences in coaching the game of basketball.
