Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI always start with ballhandling and shooting. I have a number of drills I will run to gauge where the player is for future sessions that will at times push them but I want them to enjoy what we're doing in the first session.
Stationary and movement ballhalding
Triple threat form shooting
Catch and shoot form shooting
Layups
Lesson 2-3We will continue to build our foundation by going over our first session work with a slightly smaller amount and then we will add bricks by once again challenging the player with a new drill or something they might not yet be comfortable with.
Triple threat into jab steps
Rip thru layups
Lesson 4-10Once we're into our fourth session, I am now working on building, maintaining, and maximizing the core fundamentals of the player while recognizing and leading them towards their next steps in development.
Lesson 11+Now that we have a routine, I am making sure that the fundamentals are becoming solid while also continuing to challenge them mentally. The mental aspect is the biggest part of success, not just being able to perform the moves but having the confidence to believe in the work they've put in.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonI will always start my sessions the same way, with a ballhandling warmup routine. For more advanced players a will tweak the routine based on skill. We will then work on fundamental space creating into shots and finishing around the rim. I will be assessing while training to see where we need to focus on, what needs polishing, what can be added, etc.
