All of the basketball workouts in this section are designed to help players improve their athleticism. They will work on a variety of different areas of athleticism as well. Players will be able to develop their vertical jump, improve agility, increase functional basketball strength, improve stability, increase speed, and more. This will translate over to the basketball court and allow players to get a physical advantage on their opponent.
For example, if a player can be a step quicker on offense, they will get driving angles to wherever they want to go. If they are a step quicker on defense, they will be able to defensive slide and keep their opponent from getting where they want to go. Some players are more naturally gifted, but it all starts with working on and developing quickness, strength, speed, vertical, etc.
Professional trainers designed these basketball workouts for all age groups and skill levels. Our trainers have put in years of hard work, studied the human body, and have learned how to make it stronger and faster. You will learn in minutes the basketball drills that they have spent years fine-tuning and developing.
Basketball is becoming a sport where quickness and speed are a must if you want to compete at a high level. So whether you are a coach/trainer or a basketball player, this section of basketball workouts will have all the tools you will need.
Some of the workouts require training tools, so make sure that you visit our list of basketball training equipment if you need one of the tools.
As a basketball coach, you are sometimes asked to double up as a strength trainer if there is no budget for a trainer. In cases like this, if you have not had a background in sports training, it can be a challenging task. With these basketball workout videos, you will have everything you need to step into that role with your team. The trainer in each video will breakdown every movement, teach the exercise or drill, and then a high-level player will demonstrate it. All of this will allow you to not only be able to turn around and teach it to your players but also critique their form and technique. This is going to be essential for a player’s athletic development.
The other great thing about all of these training videos is that they are basketball-specific. Some of the movements will translate to multiple sports, but they are primarily geared for basketball. As a coach, you will know that doing these basketball workouts adds value to your players and team.
If you already have a sports training background, use these videos for new material. All of the trainers featured are experts and will provide high-level material. So make sure to take advantage of everything that they have provided.
Most basketball players don’t have access to a high-level personal trainer, at least without paying a fortune. That is why these basketball workouts exist. Our athletic trainers have worked with professional and college athletes and will provide you with the tools you need to develop.
Each of the training videos will show you exactly how to do the movements so that you can replicate it on your own later. This will allow you to be able to jump higher, run faster, move quicker, etc. All of this will translate over to the court as well.
It is critical, though, that you lock in on the correct form when watching the training videos. Each video will come with detailed instructions, and the better you can follow that instruction, the more the drill will help you. So really, make sure to pay attention to each movement executed before practicing it on your own.
The good thing about all of our training videos is that you can take them to the gym with you. Our iPhone and Android app will allow you to pull up the video right there with you in the gym while working out if need be. Also, with our Pro Membership, you will get access to already created training plans from our expert trainers.
As a basketball trainer, you are responsible for a player’s complete development. This includes agility, quickness, vertical, etc. That is why the basketball workouts in this section should be your new best friend. They will provide you with everything that you need to start developing a player’s athleticism. This will allow you to add another area of value to your clients. If your players can be more explosive, quicker, stronger, etc., you will look that much better as a trainer.
With all of the workouts being geared for basketball-specific movements, the basketball moves that you teach your players will be that much better. For example, when you teach a player to rip through to the basket and also work with them on being more explosive when they rip through, it makes that move that much better.
So whether you have an athletic training background or not, make sure to maximize these basketball workouts with your players. They will provide a ton of value to the players you work with and will only help improve the other basketball drills you are already doing.
If you look back at any of the old NBA or college basketball games, you will see a stark difference between the overall levels of athleticism in today’s game compared to back then. Basketball players today are more athletic than they have ever been before. And as mentioned previously, this does not mean that skills like shooting a basketball, finishing, etc., take a back seat, but it does, however, mean that athleticism should not be overlooked.
And this is true for all basketball players. Even if you are already naturally athletic, these training videos will help you become even more explosive, faster, etc. Regardless of how athletic you currently are, you should still be spending time work on these areas.
As a basketball coach, it can be tempting to overlook basketball workouts like this because you have so much else to focus on. If you want your players to execute on offense, battle on the boards, play tough team defense, and whatever else, they need to have the physical capabilities to do what is asked of them. This means that you must be willing to spend time in the weight room or on the court developing these different areas. You will see a noticeable difference in your team’s physical abilities on the court in the long run.
So take advantage of all of the basketball workouts, and don’t worry if you are not an expert athletic trainer. Just follow the video’s instructions, and you will be able to develop as a player on your own or as a coach with your team.
Also, if you are a coach looking for a training plan for your team, make sure that you check out our Pro Membership. In our Pro Membership, you will get access to a team training workout created by a Division 1 college strength coach.
