I am demonstrating two-foot finishing here with the Performance Body Gym bands. Finishing off two feet in basketball is crucial. It provides better balance, control, and the ability to absorb contact, allowing players to adjust mid-air and be more consistent around the rim.

🔑 Points:
1. Start at the block
2. One pound dribble into the 1-2 up foot work
3. Make 10 on each side

Here I am demonstrating defensive slide workout with the Performance Body Gym bands. This drill is very efficient at building speed and strength on the defensive side.

🔑 Points:
1. Stay low like you're sitting in a chair
2. Don't let your feet touch or cross your legs
3. Chop your feet and pump your arms to keep the rhythm
4. Set a 1 minute timer for 3 sets.

One word to describe a champion, Discipline!

Putting Avalon (6th grader) through between the legs rhythm shooting.

Main Points:
1. When starting out, you can do one between the legs to get the rhythm mastered before doing more
2. Focusing on the rhythm straight into the shot, no hesitation.

Coach @coretrainingperformance working on defensive slide rhythm with the Performance Body Gym Bands.

He is focusing on 3 slides to the left and right. 2 slides and then 1 slide. After that sequence, you work your way back up to 3 to finish.

Archer is working on change of pace here. Changing pace in basketball gives you the upper hand. It keeps defenders guessing, opens up scoring opportunities, and makes you a more dynamic player on the court.

Here is @coretrainingperformance and @mosistel1_ demonstrating two foot finishing to Friendsville Elementary School.

Mastering two-foot finishing in basketball improves balance, offers more options to score, and enhances stability against defenders. It's a crucial skill for effective scoring in various game situations.

Working with Addison (8th grader) on two foot finishing through contact layups.

Key points:
1. Initiate contact (hit or be hit)
2. Good footwork
3. Make 5 on each side through contact

Working with RJ (5th) on ball handling with a 6lb med ball. Dribbling with a med ball is great for slowing yourself down while also building strength in handling the ball and getting a feel for the ball.

I've been working with Carter (Kindergartner) for a few months now and his shooting form has improved tremendously.

Carter, keep getting better everyday in every aspect of your life. Get 1% better everyday. It won't be easy but it wouldn't be worth it if it was easy.

Working with Archer on drift one dribble pull up. This move is a great set up move to read the defense and attack the rim.

🔑 Points:
1. Cover as much ground as possible with the drift dribble to move defense.
2. Get down hill with the second dribble for either a lay up or mid-range shot.
3. Make 5 on each elbow

Working with Carter (Kindergartner) on balance and building ankle strength with the Bosu ball. Balance and ankle strength are 2 key elements to elevate your game to the next level.

🔑 Points:
1. Have your foot in the middle of the Bosu ball
2. Have the opposite knee up like you're trying to hit your chest

Putting Archer (5th grader) through fire hydrants with the Performance Body Gym Bands. Working on strengthening the hips and core.

🔑 Points:
1. Keep legs, back, and core straight
2. Get the leg as high as you can without strain
3. Keep L shape in legs
4. 10 reps each leg.

Success takes time! Trust and enjoy the process of getting to the top of your mountain.
