HoopTalk – Point Guard’s

My favorite position on the court. The quarterback, extension of the coach, and has to be one of the smarter players, is the point guard. So much responsibility lies on the back of the point guard.

HoopTalk – NBA

I love NBA players. The NBA game is high-level stuff. However, the game is evolving in a way that seems to give it a bad rap. 3-point variance. The number one talking point of all media heads nowadays. The league used to not be so cranky. When the analytic heads took over, it became different.…

HoopTalk – Defense

Day 2 – As much as I love offense, there is nothing like good defense. Whether that be team or individual defense, there is nothing like locking another team up. My favorite type is run-and-jump, heavy ball pressure, jumping passing lanes, causing absolute chaos on the court at all times. Although unsustainable man, it is…

HoopTalk – Offense

Hoop Talk Day 1…For me, I like offense a lot, and without scorers, you cannot achieve your goals. Defense is everything; guarding one-on-one is crucial in certain late-clock situations.

Mastering Muscle Contractions for Athletes

One of the common misconceptions when training in sport is that “weight/ strength training will have a negative impact on my basketball (specific) skills”. There is some truth to that, I believe at the youth level we should emphasis body weight training, so players get stronger within their own body first. Youth players must learn…
