Basketball Training Workout #12

“Slow. Down.” – Ceasor

If you find yourself making a ton of mistakes doing the workouts and can’t complete the workouts, slow down.

This is training… you’re supposed to mess up. Trying to do new movements you’re not comfortable with doing yet at game speed can be incredibly frustrating.

Everyone has been there… from the #1 recruit all the way to a pee-wee basketball player.

All you have to do is slow down when you’re performing your drills. As you get more comfortable with the movements in the drill, you can speed up.

Will you make mistakes as you speed up… sure. But you’ll get the movement down before you know it and you’ll be able to perform it at game speed without making mistakes.
