How To Fall In Love With Conditioning

Coaches, you can completely change the way you
and your players look at and perform, conditioning.
Take what is usually the hardest, most negative
part of practice and turn it into a positive team
building experience.

How?

Here are suggestions from Coach Bruce E. Brown.

1. The better your team practices the more
conditioning you let them do.

2. Praise all great effort regardless of outcomes.

3. Players losing a drill or competition do not get
to sprint. Winners do.

4. Reward your best workers instead of punishing
your worst ones. Stop punishing those who are
trying their best. Their work ethic will develop
them into productive players.

5. Don't wear your team out foolishly. Know when
enough is enough. Seek quality and intensity over
volume. One key to making this work is
understanding how to use high intensity sprinting
such as that taught by Coach Tim Kauppinen at:

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. Keep your eyes and ears tuned for an
announcement soon how you can win $19,500 for
placing 16th in a 3-point shooting contest. I don't
dare tell you what the winner gets yet because
you won't believe it, but you will certainly like it.

If you ever needed a reason to practice like a
madman this will do it for you.

Make Every Shot Count
