with Scott Adubato, Five-Star Basketball Coach/Instructor; Seton Hall University Assistant Coach; former Memphis Grizzlies (NBA) Assistant Coach
Finally - The first instructional DVD ever made on this subject! Coach Adubato's forte is taking players through individual workouts that reinforce repetition, good habits and mechanics. The first set of drills is point guard specific. Two-ball drills are followed by the pitch-ahead drill, pull-up, pick & roll series, relocation drill and more. Adubato mixes point guards with off guards in the Combo Guard drill series. Shot and float, pitch ahead drill, step back series, penetration and kick, shot fake and bounce, double change and corner 3's all prepare players for competition at a high level. Shooting guards work on game shots as well as dribble moves, re-location and mid range shots. Shots come from all angles and from all spots on the floor. Isolation situations are present in the flip and one-on-one drill. The 3 second and 2 second drills simulate end of quarter situations. The combo forward is engaged in a different set of nine drills matched to his position. Another series is the combo guard/forward drills. This series begins with the shot series, and includes six more drills. The veteran series is for the most experienced players. A series of dribble and shoot moves, transition drill, re-location drill and ball screen series are part of this segment. This is the instructional tool we have all been waiting for!

5X National "Coach of the Year"
Auriemma presents an effective workout that breaks down specific aspects of the game into drills that build quality, well-rounded players.

In this energetic on-court demonstration, Coach Auriemma highlights the importance of communication, taking good shots and creating movement within an offense. To illustrate these principles, Auriemma has devised 20 drills that provide the foundation for building a championship team.

Auriemma also incorporates half-court drills that focus on shooting, lay-ups off of penetration, pick-and-roll, post moves, working off screens and more!

with Ganon Baker;
Nike Basketball Training Specialist,
NBA Basketball Trainer,
Ambidextrous Shooting Coach, and World-renowned Instructor and Clinician
Ganon Baker presents a post skill developmental workout to improve your hands, ball handling, footwork, balance, as well as shows how to get open and versatile moves from different spots on the floor. Baker's teaching points in the post are feet are balance, legs are strength, 'your hips are your explosion' and 'your hands are your weapons!' He demonstrates potent scoring moves for four key areas of the floor: in the paint area (the Tim Duncan series), the mid-post (the Kevin Garnett series), the high post, and, short corner (the Amare Stoudemire series). To make your player more versatile in the post, the jump hook, a counter to the jump hook and a third alternative move are shown. In addition to the variety of scoring moves, Baker demonstrates a number of drills. He is big on two ball-handling drills for post players. These skills can develop good offensive rebounding skills as well as dribbling and concentration. Also included are exercises to improve footwork through jump rope routines, strength training through push-ups with basketballs and a defensive slide drill that teaches reaction to the ball and one-on-one play.
with Kevin Sutton,
Montverde Academy Men's Basketball Head Coach,
NIKE Skill Academy Instructor
Coach Sutton's basketball drills stress the importance of making mistakes out of aggression rather than omission in a constant effort to push for improvement. It is this push for improvement that drives the innovative force behind Sutton's intelligent approach to engaging players' minds and teaching them to communicate effectively. Throughout this basketball workout, Sutton incorporates two balls into every single drill. With the use of tennis balls, Sutton is able to motivate players to advance their hand-eye coordination skills with a number of practical and beneficial drills. Many of these same drills are also performed with basketballs, and Sutton demonstrates several other two ball basketball drills, as well. To develop perimeters skills, Sutton demonstrates the "Rip Hamilton Drill" to work on building motion offense and moving without the basketball. Coach Sutton never fails to entice us with his thoughtful ingenuity, and this basketball workout DVD is a clear example of his expertise. These workout drills are straightforward, yet clever, and easy to implement for all levels.
with Jackie Stiles;
2001 WNBA Rookie of the Year;
All-American at Southwest Missouri State University;
3X MVC Player of the Year;
4X MVC All-Conference Selection;
led the nation in scoring (27.8 ppg) her junior year;
All-time leading scorer in Kansas High School Basketball history (boys and girls)
As a high school player, Jackie Stiles committed herself to become a better player and shooter by making 1,000 shots a day from her sophomore year in high school until her freshman year in college. Stiles believes that repetition, with correct technique, will make good shooters great.
Using the BEEF shooting principle, Stiles focuses on a number of teaching techniques including square up, one-two step, power foot, step back hesitation and the "Stiles hop."
The 1,000 shots workout distributes jump shots into seven different spots on the floor. From each spot she makes 100 shots. Between sets of jump shots, she will make 100 free throws.
To give the workout variety, she explains how to use different techniques to break up the total into groups of 15 or 20. From each spot she will use several ways and skills to get the shot off. Players can alter this workout to fit their age, strength, and goals as a shooter.
This is an excellent workout template for any player to use to become a great shooter.
