So here are my thoughts on where the blog will go. I’m going to try to start telling you about some of the work I’m doing with some of the players I’m working with. Obviously there will be some exceptions, like the pros I’m hired to work with. Most of the college and university players have agreed to let me talk about their shots and the work they are doing, which is very gracious of them. In return I will try to give them a certain level on anonymity by referring to them only by initials.
The player I spend the most time with is ML. We’ve been working together for a little over a year now. He is a construction worker type of player, meaning his game is to rebound, play good defense and make buckets around the rim. He would like to be able to consistently make a 15 footer, but first we need to be able to make free throws. Last year was 61% which is about what we expected. On the offseason we spent a lot of time working to get the ball to come off his hand correctly and to get under the ball to shoot it up. He’s now doing well with this on free throws, but still struggles to get under the ball at game speeds. It’s a work in progress and I’m confident we’ll get there, it just won’t be tomorrow.
Now that we are in season we are turn our focus more to his balance. ML is a big strong guy but we need to keep that energy that he can generate working for him, so we are doing a lot of drills to start on balance and maintain.
