It’s not what you do, but how you do it. Playing hard and being dedicated to each other are the main focus on building a championship level team. ‘Living in the now’ is a key coaching philosophy Coach Bart Lundy learned over his years of coaching with Buzz Williams.  Having experienced deep NCAA Tournament runs at the Division II level, Coach Lundy has experienced great successes with a focus on doing the little things the right way. In this video, Coach Lundy will take you through his Bootcamp preseason practice that will help your players become more gritty and tough nosed.

Philosophy
Coach Lundy is a believer in it is not what we do, but how we do things. Teaching his players to play hard and be dedicated to each other builds a strong bond between teammates. Teaching his players to live and work hard each day builds a solid foundation and helps players focus on the now. These are the principles that set up Coach Lundy’s program and can help your own program move to new heights.

Offensive Fundamentals
Beginning with the Mikan Drill,Coach Lundy demonstrates that with a simple add-on, this simple drill can hold players accountable. By having players finish a certain amount and set goals that are reachable players will push themselves to be at their best. In 4 Man Break, Coach Lundy uses transition offense to build communication and play fast. 4 players have to score within a certain amount of time or they have to run and do it all over again. Having this time and score for every drill creates a level of competition that will push your players to be at their best.

Defensive Fundamentals
Coach Lundy loves defense. Beginning with the basics he emphasizes the little things to make his team tough nose defenders. In the Zig Zag drill, players use all 94 feet to zig zag and focus on their stance and slide. By using the full 94 feet players are also working on their conditioning. In White Line Run players are working their zig zag and sprinting into helpside defense. This trains players to get into helpside defense quickly and be ready to help each other. These defensive drills will help you build a tough nose defensive culture where you are tough to score against.

Fundamentals are the building blocks upon which championship programs are built! Playing solid on offense and defense creates a culture of focusing on the now. It's not what you do, but how you do it. Fundamentals will build players confidence and build trust in your program. Coach Lundy showcases a variety of drills to help you build your fundamentals on offense and defense. This is an excellent video you will want to add to your collection.
