How To Use The NBA Player Workouts

You know, I get a ton of questions about my NBA player workouts. And one thing that I'll say about that is, is first of all, like, shout out to everyone who gives me requests for those. Because I get, I mean, I get so many requests. Crazy. I mean, I've got 50 guys I gotta get to, so. But keep on dropping guys you want me to see. You know, the more requests I get for a certain player, usually that's that terms when I actually get to that guy. So you know that that's kind of a thing. So understand that. Also I get questions about like, coach, how should I actually structure doing these? Like, if I want, do I do the same workout every day? Should I do two workouts a day? Should I do a different player every single day? Like, what should I do to actually get the most out of using these workouts? And what I would say, and my response to that always is, what I recommend is that you take, you know, between three or four workout NBA workers that you like. So, you know, maybe you like the Dame workout, you like the Steph workout, Kyrie and Trae Young. Those are your four favorites. So you take those four and you just rotate through them. So Monday is Dame, Tuesday, Steph, Wednesday, Kyrie, Thursday is Tre. Like you just rotate through those. Maybe you only pick three. Maybe you pick the Luka one. You pick Paul, George and then LeBron. Those are your three that you like and you, you rotate through those. Okay, so, and the reason for that is that you're able to hit different, different skills. And what I love about these player workouts is that they, they really simulate game actions, which is what, which is my, sort of my, my whole purpose for them. Because I've, I've had people ask me before, like coaching, you add some like ball handling drills into these or like some, some other like specific skill drills. But to me, like, I, I post videos with that stuff all the time. Like, I have videos that will help you with your ball handling to do like stationary stuff, moving stuff, whatever. Finishing workouts, another finishing work coming this week actually. So stay tuned for that and shooting workouts. Of course, I have all those things. The purpose of my NBA workouts though is I want you guys to get better at actually playing and using game actions. Okay? So being able to go and combine different things, be able to combine a punch drag into a crossover, being able to go to, to, you know, a, from a shot fake to a two dribble step back, being able to hit shots coming off of pin downs or off of, you Know, relocations or off of a jab step. Different, different actual game scenarios. Okay. And that's what you see in all these workouts. I'll have the clip of them actually doing it in the game. So you see the situation that they actually apply that, those, that, that, that drill in. Right. And that's how I get the inspiration for all of that. So that's why I don't do any sort of like, you know, two ball pounds or, or you know, one ball crossover repeats or whatever. Like I just get to form shooting into the workout. Okay. And so, you know, when it comes to picking workouts, this is another player, Another thing I get is like, coach, what kind, what worker should I do? And my thing is like, like I said before, you can just do workouts you like. If you, if you watch a workout and you really like it, you think that it's cool, like you like the drills in it or you like the player, whatever you can, you can pick those, you know, three or four that you like the most. But if you know, you want to be what's going to help me the most, well, look at those workouts and think about which of those players plays the most like you. Okay. Who has a similar role to you and what situations do you find yourself in. So if you're watching a workout and there's a lot of stuff from the wing or the corner, maybe you know that you get a lot of shots, a lot of opportunities in the wing, in the corner, in games. So maybe you decide that you're going to do that workout because you're in that same situation a lot of. And it can be the same thing when it comes to maybe you are a point guard. So you're gonna do a lot of stuff off ball screen. So you're gonna do the Chris Paul workout because there's a lot of ball screen stuff in that one. So you know, ask yourself, what skills do I need to work on? What situations do I find myself in in games? And then pick three or four workouts that you, that, that, that are going to mimic the situations so you can get better at them. Okay. And then also don't feel the need to have to stick to that if you decide, like if I post a new workout, for example, and you decide you want to do that one instead. Cool. Put that one in there, maybe take out another one, whatever. Like you can feel free to switch that up. Okay. At the end of the day though, you want to be able to get those reps in. So that's why I Said, don't pick, don't pick 10 workouts to go through because then you're only doing a workout one time every two weeks, right? Maybe once every week and a half if you're lucky, or twice every week and a half if you're lucky. But you know, you doing it three or four times, like three or four workouts, meaning you're gonna get it in probably twice a week, which is, which is great because that means you're be able to get in. Those reps will also be getting more variation, okay? So you can work on different situations, different skills, but you're also getting enough reps in that you see improvement, okay? And you continue that over a sustained amount of time, and you'll see, you'll see yourself getting better at that and getting better at those situations. And, you know, one of the big reasons why I decided to have all these workouts be just game shot focused is because for me, I think one of the biggest keys was I had to work on more of those game situations in practice. Because again, like I said, I was always a worker where I'd shoot those spot shots. I'd work on my stationary ball handling. But what I didn't do enough of is actually work on scoring and game situations, okay? Even if we're not playing against a defender right now, even if you're just doing, you know, one on zero, just being able to know, like, okay, I can go to this move, I can do these, this combo move, then go into a pull up or into a step back into inverted drag, whatever it is, okay? That's such an important thing to be able to do. Just be able to kind of be creative and freestyle things. And these workouts are, that's what I love about them. Because no workouts ever the same. Because every drill is, every situation in the game is different, right? That's why I said before, there's never a time where there's gonna be two of the same plays. So I'm giving you guys clips of these videos of these guys making these plays before. You'll never see another video exactly like that. So every drill is gonna be a little different. Every workout's a little bit different. And that's what I love most about it. Because again, if you can solve problems in games an efficient rate, you're gonna be a really good player, okay? If you have the skills to do that, the technique to do that, okay? So that's the biggest part. So, you know, find three or four guys you like or that that fit your game style and then rotate through those. Stick to it and you'll see improvement. I want you guys right now.
