- Hey, what's up, ya'll?
-
Coach Rock here, the official trainer
-
for I Love Basketball TV, and guess what?
-
In today's video, I'm gonna be showing
-
the best ten drills for a beginner basketball player.
-
Now if you're an advanced player or you think
-
you're an advanced player, don't disregard this video
-
because a lot of times advanced players
-
can really use the fundamentals.
-
So in this video, they're beginner drills
-
focusing on the fundamentals.
-
And how I like to phrase it is in basketball,
-
when you're training your skills,
-
it's kinda like you're building a house, right?
-
We have to have the foundation, the foundational skills,
-
down before we can become an advanced player,
-
before we can become an elite player.
-
Think about a big house, like you can have
-
the biggest house ever, but if it's on a weak foundation,
-
the house is gonna fall over.
-
But once you have that good foundation,
-
then your potential is limitless.
-
So in this video today, I'm gonna be focusing on ten drills.
-
These ten drills are gonna help you with your finishing,
-
your scoring, your dribbling, your defense.
-
We're focusing on everything in this video.
-
And then stay tuned for next week, next Friday
-
we're gonna be uploading ten drills
-
for advanced basketball players.
-
So that means you have the whole week to master these
-
and then you can try the advanced drills
-
or if you're an advanced player,
-
you can still do these this week
-
and then come back next week for the advanced drills.
-
First drill, Mikan Drill.
-
We're doing three sets of ten with both hands.
-
(rap beat)
-
Next drill, pretty much the same thing,
-
Reverse Mikan, three sets of ten.
-
(rap beat)
-
Alright, next drill we're getting into,
-
Zig Zag Ball Handling.
-
We have three moves, we have cross, between, behind.
-
First set, cross.
-
Second set, between.
-
Last set, behind.
-
When you get to the last cone, don't worry,
-
I'm gonna show you everything,
-
when you get to the last cone,
-
you're dribbling baseline, you're spinning,
-
you're gonna get to the rim in as few dribbles as possible.
-
From half court you should
-
be able to get there in two dribbles.
-
So you're gonna do that and then,
-
I'm not gonna go over it now, just to save time,
-
but you would take the same drill,
-
move it to the other side of the court, and work on that.
-
Me, I'mma just focus on the left hand right now,
-
work on that weak side.
-
If you can only do one side, work on your weak hand
-
so you can improve that.
-
Let's get straight into this drill.
-
(rap beat)
-
Next drill, drill number four,
-
we're working on One Dribble Move Pull Ups.
-
So we're gonna practice real game situations.
-
You're gonna approach the guy at the top here,
-
and we're either doing a cross,
-
between the legs, or behind the back.
-
And then we're gonna get into a shot at the elbow.
-
So what I would say do is five makes,
-
each side off of each move.
-
So what's that gonna be, like, 30 makes, right?
-
Five, ten for crossovers.
-
Five, ten for between the legs.
-
Five, ten for behind the back.
-
That'll be 30.
-
Now I'm not gonna go through all the reps,
-
but I will do a few reps so you can see
-
how to do this drill live.
-
(rap beat)
-
By the way, don't forget,
-
I'll have the set and reps in the description for you,
-
so that way you don't gotta keep
-
referring back to the videos.
-
I'll have the time stamp,
-
and I'll have the set and reps by each drill.
-
So that way today you watch it all through,
-
learn the drills, but then when you get to the gym,
-
there might be like three or four
-
that you really just wanna come back to,
-
so instead of having to watch the whole video,
-
I'll have the time stamp for you
-
so you can keep coming back, click, watch the video,
-
you'll see the set and reps right by that link,
-
and you can keep on moving.
-
But, with that being said,
-
let's get straight into drill number five.
-
Pretty self explanatory, Form Shooting.
-
So in this drill we're gonna be in the front,
-
and we're gonna do the two sides.
-
Just do ten makes, each spot.
-
(rap beat)
-
Next drill we're gonna get into, it's Spot Shooting.
-
If you're by yourself, you have to get your own rebounds.
-
If you have a partner, you could have
-
them get your rebounds, but what I like to do sometimes,
-
this will also help you with conditioning,
-
help you get used to following your shot,
-
you're gonna shoot, if you have a partner,
-
you guys will do each spot, five spots we have,
-
you're gonna make ten at each spot,
-
but if you have a partner you're gonna make,
-
get your rebound past your partner,
-
he gonna shoot, he gonna get his rebound past you.
-
So this will kinda get things going quickly.
-
It won't help you get that rhythm.
-
It's easy to make a lot of shots
-
you standing there shooting.
-
It's a little more difficult to shoot,
-
get your rebound, reset, and shoot.
-
That's why we're gonna do that in this drill right here.
-
(rap beat)
-
Next drill we're gonna get into is Elbow to Elbow shooting.
-
Because I have a partner, in this drill I'm gonna use him
-
to get my rebounds, and I'll get his rebounds.
-
Go elbow to elbow, make ten each elbow.
-
So that means you'll be making 20.
-
But a key here is to use proper footwork.
-
If you're by yourself, then you gotta get your rebound,
-
run to the elbow, and shoot,
-
but you could still use proper footwork.
-
(rap beat)
-
Next drill we're gonna work on is at the top of the key.
-
We're working on Pump Fake Pull Ups.
-
Pump fakes are extremely important.
-
They're one of the most lethal moves you can use,
-
especially as a beginner player.
-
So utilize that pump fake, and then pull up.
-
I have a partner, so again,
-
we're gonna do it where I shoot, I get my rebound, pass.
-
This is gonna work on my conditioning,
-
also get me out of rhythm, so I can't build a rhythm,
-
but saves you just have your parents rebounding
-
then they can just get your rebound, keep passing to you.
-
But I like messing up the rhythm
-
because in the game you're never gonna
-
take ten shots just standing there, right?
-
You're gonna take a shot, run down, run back, take a shot.
-
So that's what we're gonna try to simulate in these drills.
-
(rap beat)
-
Next drill, we're working One Dribble Lay Ups
-
from outside the three point line.
-
A lot of players take too many dribbles
-
to get to the basket, allows the defense to recover.
-
In this drill we're gonna take one dribble, regular lay up.
-
You do ten on both sides.
-
I'm only gonna do the left side, again,
-
working on my weakness, on my weak hand.
-
But I want you do to both sides.
-
(rap beat)
-
Last drill is gonna focus on conditioning and defense.
-
Defensive Slides.
-
So we're gonna do the zig zag,
-
kinda like we did for dribbling,
-
but we're gonna be sliding our feet.
-
It's gonna help you practice opening footwork.
-
First time through, we're going really slow.
-
That's gonna get you used to getting in this position.
-
It's gonna burn a little bit.
-
Get you used to moving your feet, proper footwork.
-
Then the next time through, we can speed it up.
-
(rap beat)
-
So again, remember,
-
I have the drills in the description for you,
-
take 'em, start using them to work out.
