From barely touching the net to dunking two handed!

So if you haven't heard about this yet, 2 pro ballers have just released a crazy new vertical jump program and the hype around it this week has been a little intense.

One of the creators is the world's highest dunker and the other is a professional player. The program is called Vert Shock and it's only just been released but people are already adding impressive inches to their vertical jumps…

Here's one of their students, Nick Olexa and what he had to say about it:

----------------------------------------------

"I googled vertical jump programs and spent well over $200 trying to achieve my childhood dream to dunk in a game and none worked!

For some reason I googled California colleges and came across UC Irvine and Adam Folker's workouts.

I said it never hurts to try so I bought it and after 1 week my vertical increased 4 inches and I could dunk 1 handed. After 4 weeks I gained almost 7 inches and could barely dunk 2 hands.

After finishing the Vert Shock Program I gained 12 inches and bam I'm dunking 2 hands. Thanks to Adam and Folkersystem I achieved my dream."

Nothing's hotter than a guy who can dunk

This is what I heard the other day when I was leaving my gym.

Two girls were chilling near the basketball court at the back of my gym complex. They were watching a 3-on-3 game which abruptly ended when the biggest guy decided to jump straight up, knock the defender flat on his ass and dunk on him while he was laying sprawled on the blacktop.

That's when the blonde cheekily whispered this confession to her smoking-hot Asian friend in pink sweatpants:

"Nothing's hotter than a guy who can dunk."

And can you guess what the Asian hottie replied? She whimpered:

"Uh huhhh!"

This got me thinking. I mean, for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to dunk. It's been a lifelong dream of mine, but I really had no idea girls found it hot. I guess it makes sense though since most people have this belief you need to be the most athletic dude around to be able to jump that high.

But the fact is that's just not true anymore.

Breakthrough research has surfaced recently about the exact 'levers' which allow people to jump ridiculously high. So naturally, 2 genius basketball players took this research and used it to transform regular guys who can't even touch the rim into dudes who can dunk with 2 hands every time and with ease.

One of these geniuses is a pro basketball player and the other is the world's highest dunker (I think it's safe to say they know what they're doing LOL) They're getting a ton of media hype these days and blowing up on Youtube so I thought I'd let you know about them.

And it's great timing too since they've just released all their crazy vert jump body hacks and techniques. They've been teaching people this stuff in secret for years but now it's available to the public in a badass program.

Top Factor to Scoring BIG Points!

Determining a basketball player's overall "offensive worth" is something I do often as a coach. I have to have some way to scout a player and figure out what their offensive potential is. Of course I look at stats, FG%, 3PT%, PPG, FT%, etc. These are definitely important but they're often misinterpreted.

You need to look at more than just those stats, you need to look at how those stats were achieved. What made the stats what they are?

The number one thing that contributes to those stats being impressive is ball handling and your handles.

All those stats come from first creating the opportunity, and 80% of the time that was through ball handling and dribble moves.

So when players ask me how to see big increases in their offensive stats, I tell them, "yea your shot is important, but you'll never have the opportunity to get a good shot off if you don’t have the handles to create the shots".

Obviously the conversation with the player then turns to basketball dribbling drills. And which ones they should do and which ones they should avoid like the plague. Believe me, not all dribbling drills are created equal, you can waste a lot of practice time with the wrong drills if you aren't careful.

The key to any basketball dribbling drill is intensity. Now, part of that is on you. You can slack off at any drill no matter how great it's designed. But, assuming you bring intensity to your training. There are a lot of basketball dribbling drills that are setup in a way that make it impossible to run them at game time intensity.

If you're using any basketball dribbling drills where you feel like they're forcing you to move at a slower than game pace. Toss them out, burn them, forget them!!! They will not only hold you back from hitting your potential, they will actually send you in the reverse direction.

The only exception to that rule is if you are using stationary dribbling drills at the beginning of your workouts. But, if you are relying on these stationary dribbling drills to get you unstoppable handles, you will be thoroughly disappointed. Stationary dribbling drills are great to get you warmed up, focused and to gain ball control. But they will never get you the handles you need to beat defenders.

You have to incorporate drills that are run at a game pace and re create game situations. It always baffled me how coaches would teach their player basketball dribbling drills that didn't mirror a game in anyway, and then expect their players to be able to execute come game time.

Analyze your dribbling drills. Can you see how the drill directly reflects an in game scenario? If not, they are probably worthless.

Now once you have these basketball dribbling drills that you can see reflect game situations, it's on you to bring game time intensity to the training.

Like I said earlier, you can slack off on the best drill and make that drill worthless. So be sure that once you have those great drills you keep them great. You have to picture a defender, you have to see and hear the crowd, you have to go just as hard as you would in a game.

The next progression is to actually add in a defender. But I see players make some big mistakes when they do this. They add in a defender, but the defender already knows what you're going to do. This isn’t realistic and one of two things will happen. Either the defender will constantly beat you because they are playing you knowing what you are going to do. Or they exaggerate the other way, and make it too easy to beat them. Either way you won't get good feedback as to how good you can execute the move.

So, when you add in a defender they should have no idea what you are trying to do. They should "D" you up as if they were guarding you in a game, and they should go 100%.

Another piece of advice is to have several moves to work on when you bring in a defender. If you try the same thing over and over you will revert back to the defender knowing what you are going to do. If you can keep switching it up it will keep your defender guessing and mirror a game.

Using these training techniques will bring your ball handling to a new level and ultimately lead to easy shots, layups, assists and trips to the free throw line.

Score Big Like Kobe

 

The most important choice a serious basketball player has to make during their career is which basketball workout program to use. Choosing the wrong program can have big consequences, lost time, developing bad technique and lost motivation, just to name a few.

Basketball workout programs will vary significantly from coach to coach. There isn’t necessarily one program that is right and the rest are wrong. But there are plenty that are just flat out worthless!

I see a lot of coaches putting players on basketball workout programs that make me cringe. The sad thing is that these players are putting all their trust into these coaches and their workout programs.

I've spent a lot of time talking with top basketball players and coaches. I always pick their brains about what makes a great basketball workout program. And while all their programs vary in exactly what drills they use, they all have some major things in common. But the one thing that all these players and coaches agree on is that there are two major keys to any basketball workout drill.

Intensity. This is the number one ingredient to training for success. So many players train at 75% and expect to play at 100%. Bring intensity into your basketball workouts and make sure that the drills you use demand this intensity.

 

Could a NASCAR driver practice racing at 80 MPH and then expect to go race at 200 MPH? No chance, so why do so many basketball players expect that they slack in their training and dominate in a game?

Game time. Always remember what you are training for. You aren't training to be a great in-practice player. You are training to dominate come game time. So why waste time on drills that won't develop the skills you can use come game time?

Here's the perfect example. Players shooting 500+ shot reps for a shooting workout. I see this all the time, players going around the perimeter putting up shot after shot. Well, the shooting part isn’t bad, but this doesn’t replicate at all how your shots will be in games.

Every shot you take in practice (with the exception of form shots and free throws) should have a specific move leading into it. In other words, in a game what is creating the shots? Coming off a screen, your handles, pullback, etc. Every shot you take in practice should have one of these moves leading into it. If it doesn’t, you are only training to be a successful in-practice shooter.

I want to add in one last factor. That's consistency. But you could look at consistency as motivation and determination too. If you truly want to develop unbelievable skills, it takes practice. And hitting the court a couple times a week won't suffice.

A lot goes into training properly but the factors I just covered are at the top of the list. Get the right basketball workout program, train with intensity, train for the game and train consistently. Do this and you are on your way to big things!

Training Secrets of the Basketball Elite

Training Secrets of the Basketball Elite

A basketball training program is a must have for any aspiring player. A training program will layout all of your training in a coordinated way. Without this layout, you are justtaking it day to day. The day to day method will never ensure that you are hitting all the training aspects you need.

A basketball training program will give you a path to follow and a historic reference to look back on. You need both of these to make sure your training is actually leading to success. If you spend two months training and aren't seeing results, you need to be able to look back at exactly what you did. Now you can make changes. Without knowing what you did, you won’t know what failed.

The other huge advantage to a basketball training program is that when your workouts are mapped out it makes it a lot harder to slack off. You can look at your week and know exactly what you are going to do. Without this structure it's too easy to make spur of the moment changes or put off a workout.

As important as having a basketball training program, is having the right training program. You can waste precious time on the wrong training program and get nowhere with it.

There is a lot of pressure on you to select the right training program and it can seem overwhelming. But I have some guidelines for you to follow to make sure you select a great training program.

1. WHO MADE IT? - Who put the training program together? Can they provide testimonials from players who use the program? You want a program from a trusted coach, research them, demand testimonials and see how many other players are using the program. Also, beware if the person behind the training program is using their own success as a selling point. Playing and coaching are two very different animals and just because a player found success, it doesn't mean that they know how to train you and put together a training program.That takes a coach!
2. ARE THE DRILLS TOO SIMPLE or TOO COMPLEX? - Look at the drills that makeup the workouts. There are two things you need to look out for. The first is the workout with overly simple "rec league" drills. If you look at the drills and can't see them converting to in-game success, then it's probably too simple of a training program. On the other hand, some coaches create crazy drills just so they are original and look impressive. With these types of drills you spend all your time trying to learn the drill, rather than building your basketball skills.You want drills that will build a skill set that will actually be useful in a game.
3. IS YOUR WHOLE TRAINING OUTLINED? - There should be more to your basketball training program than just basketball drills. To be a successful player at high levels you need to havestrength, speed, explosiveness, quick feet and stamina. If your training program doesn't address these, that means you will have to go out and get a separate training program specific for those. A great basketball training program will incorporate all those directly into the training.
4. DOES THE TRAINING LOOK EXCITING AND FUN? - If you look at the training program and it doesn't excite you, you are setting yourself up for failure. You want to look forward to your training not dread it. So, if your workouts look boring and monotonous it will probably be struggle for you to get out and train.
5. DOES THE PROGRAM PROGRESS WITH YOU? - If you're in a great basketball training program you should expect to see great results. So as you improve you will need your drills to progress with your skills. Make sure that the training program allows for this. You don't want to be at level "Z" doing drills from level "X".

If you follow those guidelines when selecting your training program you will end up with a great basketball training program.
