Chapter 1: Ball handling Techniques
WHAT WE’LL COVER
INSTRUCTED BY CEPHUS HARRIS
BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO TRAINING WITH A COACH, LEARN TO TRAIN YOURSELF FIRST. BUILD A HABIT, CREATE A RHYTHM, AND DEVELOP A STRONG FOUNDATION ON YOUR OWN. LIKE BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP, YOU NEED TO BE COMFORTABLE WORKING OUT SOLO BEFORE YOU CAN FULLY GROW WITH A TRAINER.
TODAY, WE’RE DIVING INTO THE BASICS, STARTING WITH BALL HANDLING. WHETHER YOU’RE A GUARD OR A CENTER, BEING ABLE TO DRIBBLE IS CRUCIAL TO PLAYING AT A HIGH LEVEL—JUST LOOK AT PLAYERS LIKE JOEL EMBIID AND KEVIN DURANT. AND REMEMBER, USE YOUR IMAGINATION. ENVISION DEFENDERS, SEE YOUR SHOTS LANDING—THIS WILL BE YOUR SECRET WEAPON. WE’LL FOCUS ON FORM, POSTURE, AND RHYTHM. KEEP THE BALL IN YOUR HANDS, GET COMFORTABLE, AND LET’S START WITH SOME FUN DRILLS.
