Basketball Athleticism SECRETS Explained

[@jft2nd]

Something important that helped me is 1. NEVER skip leg day. 2. Find a pool and do jump squats, high knees, jumping jacks and vertical skips submerged. 3. Do sprints over long distance running.

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

Thank you for point no. 2. Just a quick question: other than the fact that water adds resistance, is it also better to do those submerged because there's a whole loss less chance of sustaining injuries and much less weight bearing on those joints?

[@jft2nd]

@@ShariaLawAllDay yes, that's exactly it! compare it to getting heavy weights and jumping with them. Your legs and joints and spine will be obliterated and will take much more time to recover to see significant increase to your vertical jump. The water is 1,000,000 times better and more effective for the fastest results. Mohammed Ali would shadow Box under water to work on his hand speed/explosiveness and the same result would happen if someone were to jump/kick with their legs submerged after some time your legs will be much more explosive.

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

@@jft2nd thank you so much I'm so glad you mentioned this as it never crossed my mind. I've been experiencing jumper's knee (quad tendinitis) for the past 1.5 years and it's been quite grueling from all the plyometric training and excessive jumping. Had I done this kind of training under water, I would most likely had better results while keeping my knees safe and sound. Only God knows what would've happened but thanks again!

Instructions unclear, now on my way to jail for trespassing into the neighbors pool

[@JoshOkoye]

@@ShariaLawAllDay this and getting stronger on the reverse side of plyometrics. Often times ppl do the moves like in the video and their knee can’t handle that load, it needs to have a foundational strength before even going into those positions let a lot doing plyometrics

1. Quick first step, lean forward 2. Explosive first step, get both feet off the ground 3. Explode from standstill, ability to get low is crucial 4. Ability to decelerate and change direction, hockey stop and lunge are effective decelerations 5. Longer steps = more athleticism 6. multidirectional movement (backwards and laterally) 7. Two feet jumping 8. Powerful army swing 9. Ability to have wide base 10. Ankle flexibility helps when shifting, strong ankles are key 11. Turning your hips quickly is important 12. Upper body strength plus core and lower body strength to help with contact 13. Stay balanced through contact 14. Cardio, be in shape 15. Mentality, give 100%

[@nathanielrupa3624]

What I like about this channel is his IQ and the way he's studying the game. Most channels are holding back too much making it a program or thinking that they'll have no videos to post in the future. Great Job keep it up Coach!

[@WeloTwelve]

One thing that helps me with my athleticism is just stretching. Most people overlook how important stretching is, strecth before you workout and after you workout. I usually stretch about 3 times a day and it helps me with mobility and getting a higher vert and getting faster.

[@JoshOkoye]

Definitely an important factor, strength and length. The longer your muscles get at a higher strength level prevents injury indirectly making you a better athlete

[@kvngty0421]

What stretches do u do?

[@onionman9563]

Fr if I don’t stretch I lose like 2-3 inches of jump

[@Kevinschart]

getting low on drives is not just about speed. it's harder to hand check when the offensive man has his shoulders low. you also reduce the height of your dribble and protect the ball with your shoulders. this makes it harder to strip the ball

[@AndreaXV]

It's about more than jumping Yes it's about DRIVE IT'S ABOUT POWER WE STAY HUNGRY WE DEVOUR PUT IN THE WORK, PUT IN THE HOURS AND TAKE WHAT'S OURS

[@johnathansmithson5861]

I hope he never blows up. I need these videos for myself 😂😂

[@therealjmc9353]

Wish we had this kinda content when i was in high school, this is great

[@JoshOkoye]

This is a great video, often times individuals keep doing more work to get more athletic or quicker. Those aren’t bad things but if you can’t apply it it’s useless. I was 5’8 and could dunk early high school but ppl would always blow by me when I was on defense and I only had direct line drives to the basket. It’s not into I joined track and they focused more on flexibility and strength I just naturally got better at basketball because I could put my body in those positions. The next big thing is getting your body to do that in the first place, I couldn’t lean that far forward (now I know it’s a human trait called proprioception, the body can sense movement, action, and location and can limit body positions unconsciously to avoid injury) and it’s because I knew very deep in the back of my mind my body couldn’t handle it or it would hurt. After finally getting more flexible I would go 100 mph but this lead to injury because I was more flexible but lacked actual strength. When we see videos and come across great coaches like this we see the things we need to do so we do them and ignore that proprioception but it’s there to keep us safe. That’s why players get injured, those leaning positions are actually thousands of pounds of force on the joints. Long range motion strength is good for preventing injury and training the muscles in the opposite direction of the explosive movement helps as well. Check out Kneesovertoes guy he’s very informative

[@JedKunac]

Bro thank you so much the part we’re it said how to jump properly helped me so much I just dunked 8 foot 5 at 12 and I’m only 5 foot 2

[@nomorealfredo8613]

[@PurXion_777]

WOAH!!! WOAH!! I tried a bit of this at school (i wasnt able to fully do it cuz of school uniform which is ass lol) but that forward lean made a huge difference in my playstyle. im a newbie to the sport looking to go pro, and this has taken my skill to the next level! before i would always get cut off, stripped etc but trying this out, NOBODY COULD STOP ME!! well except double teams XD...thank you so much for this man!

[@versatillion15]

I think you can turn this into a series

[@queenazulaofficial6542]

Driving low is athletic and dangerous.If you tripped you might get injured. So practice driving low and handles low. Then, practice getting back up higher as you get closer to the rim.I takes practice cuz driving low is really important. BUT IT DEPENDS I THINK ITS JUST BASE ON MY EXPERIENCE

[@CoachFrikki]

Azula always lies. But a pretty good point still. Start low, then quickly rise up. Might want to get low again when bumping. But staying low for multiple steps is rarely optimal.

[@kevinzhang1991]

Hey coach, I’ve always had this question on defense. When I turn my hips and take a crossover step to recover, the offensive player always takes a step back, pullback, or pulls up and I’m too late to recover. What should I do?

[@CoachFrikki]

Yeah I struggle with the same problem. Try starting a little flatter, move a little bit more laterally (sliding). Use your hands to scare away straightline drives. If you can avoid the hip turn + crossover step then do so. But giving up stepbacks and pullups is much much better than giving up blowby layups. So it ain't a terrible problem that you're giving them shots off the dribble. But still work on recovering and without jumping on their hesi.

[@COOLSAUCE21]

What I do instead is spin. I know it looks a lot worse when the player does a step back, but I find it easier to contest a shot after a spin, rather than a hip turn / cross body step.

[@JoshOkoye]

@@COOLSAUCE21 facts, depending on the case it saves time since your momentum was already going that way.

[@deez9805]

You have to make sure that only your hips turn. Think of yourself like a DB playing football. The chest and shoulders stay to the receiver, in your case the ball handler. The hips are the only thing turning which will help you stay attached. Your body’s momentum will always follow the direction your chest is pointed bc that’s where our center of mass is.

[@kvsider7599]

I really enjoyed this one

[@CesarMartinez-nu3if]

Let me put it like this, athleticism is body connection, the better your body acts as one the better you perform, even one arm could throw you off balance when doing any kind of activity, try it out, even a breath, the more you use your body as a unit the better

[@user-zz5zj2rc8c]

Man I never really thought change of pace would work, as it doesnt look really useful, but now that I put in my body weight when I accelerate, and pull back when I decelerate, the defender cannot keep up.

Best coach bro, can you give tips for shooting guards like me

[@CoachFrikki]

Not a fan of talking about positions. I myself have completely stopped using the terms PG, SG, SF, PF, C, guard, wing & big. No special tips or secrets from me. It's simply about putting in endless work. Play 1v1 vs players who are better than you and shoot 1000 shots a day. Strength training and study film as well. If you want to improve as a shooter I'd suggest measuring how many you can make out of a 100 every day and track your progress. Also make sure to practice shooting when you're tired like you are in game. And work on expanding that range. Practice deep threes so regular threes become easy.

[@zackthedestro2771]

[@darinisai4438]

Yo I un intentionally do this and I never knew it has a benefit I thought It was just easier to sort of fall trough a defender when they’re guarding close and you can’t shoot
