The weekend is where you separate yourself. Grab a player archetype workout and go do one of them this weekend with game like intensity and then come back and tell the community how it went!

I’ve been talking with a lot of my old buddies (nba players, overseas players) and they are changing how they work on their shot. They use to go in the gym and just work on game shots and that was it but now they are focused on those same game shots but shooting them faster than they even would in games. Didn’t make sense to me at first but they all said the same thing. “The more comfortable the got with fast shots in workouts the easier it was to slow it down in games and it became way easier for them” So next time you are in a shooting workout try to really speed your shot up. If your mechanics and form start to fall off then you are shooting to fast but as fast as you can shoot the ball while maintaining your form and mechanics that’s how I want you to work on your shot for the next few weeks and let me know what you think!

The offseason is where you separate yourself. Or where you fall behind. Most players waste it. Don’t be most players. Here’s what actually moves the needle: 1. Get in shape first. You can’t develop skills on a body that breaks down. Conditioning isn’t the sexy part, but it’s the foundation. Get your wind right. Get stronger. Move better. Everything else gets easier when your body can keep up with your work. 2. Pick a few skills. Not everything. I see guys try to fix their whole game in one summer. Handle, shot, finishing, passing, defense, all at once. You end up average at all of it. Pick 2 or 3 things that actually matter for your game and your level. Go deep. Master them. Reps over variety. 3. Watch film. Every week. You can’t fix what you can’t see. Watch yourself. Watch players who do what you want to do. Film tells the truth. Make it a habit, not a once-in-a-while thing. The work you put in now will show up during the season Coach Manny

I know it’s a fun time to be watching basketball but if we are trying to get better we need to be doing this while we watch! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8symyDr/
