This summer, I was working with my female student-athletes. Chloe was really struggling over the summer ball handling. After 3 months, she began to develop. In this clip, I wanted to build trust and confidence in her with a warm up drill. Check it out!

Just put Northwestern Starting PG, Jake West through a workout. He has 3 weeks off this summer, and then on for the next 10 months. Our biggest focus before Jake goes back to school is keeping him sharp with his shot and keeping him in shape. Simple work is the best work!

I just read through and watched the off the catch options in the technical skills curriculum, you can watch here, just scroll to the off the catch folder: https://www.skool.com/dannycooperbasketball/classroom/67ab26b6 What I noticed is that while it’s important for players to have the ability to have great footwork, dribble moves, etc… the off the catch options are a very practical way for players to implement and get better almost immediately. Since defenders usually do NOT close out well or on balance - it’s a huge advantage to be able to attack it with a .5 second decision (stampede catch is like -0.5 lol). Players who might not necessarily have a great handle or shiftiness can use these options to still be super effective and it mainly comes down to just reading how the defender closes out. Not to boast, but I was elite at playing off the catch in HS and college - it was my bread and butter. If you’re a coach/trainer looking to implement this into live play for your players, head to the SSG section and try using this drill in your next group or team workout: https://www.skool.com/dannycooperbasketball/classroom/6503cfab?md=f2f15ca3ab8c4332bb0d03f4ee4b9a37

Check out this new warm-up we just added to the Small Sided Games Section: https://www.skool.com/dannycooperbasketball/classroom/6503cfab?md=27b7f4c5ed9b44e09fb51a4ff77875f3 We love incorporating fun, engaging, and competitive warm-up games to our group workouts. What do you think of this one?
