Basketball Trainer Articles

 

 

A basketball trainer’s primary job is to help develop basketball players and bring them to their full potential. That means that the trainer needs to constantly be improving and perfecting their craft because the better the trainer is, the better he/she will be able to help their players. This is exactly what these basketball trainer articles are going to help with.

A trainer must be a student of the game and work to increase their knowledge of basketball drills, basketball workouts, game situations, etc. These basketball trainer articles will help you become a better trainer by learning and developing your basketball IQ and then passing it on to the players you train.

 

 

Basketball Trainer Basics

You may be a basketball trainer that is just starting, or you may have been training players for years. Either way, though, here are a few basics of being a trainer that you should look at before you start training or as a refresher if you have already been doing it for a while.

One of the first things you want to do is evaluate the player(s) you are training and develop a workout specifically for them. Not every player needs to work on the same things, so having a general workout for all your players is not the best use of time. Break up your players into specific groups according to what they need to work on.

Find the right balance between working on their strengths and their weaknesses. For example, if you have a post player who will primarily stay on the block in a game, then mainly work on their basketball post moves, but still work on other areas of his/her game like ball-handling, shooting, etc., just don’t spend as much time on them.

Teach players why they are doing a skill a certain way. That way, they will be more likely to actually do it the right way when they are in a game or working out on their own. If they aren’t using the skills that they are being taught, then the training is not working the right way. So this is a pretty important step in the basketball training process.

This section is designed to help you as a basketball trainer get started in the right direction and provide some excellent information to help your business, workouts, skill development, and more.
