30 application specific workouts; need to improve your cross-over, there’s a workout for that; need to develop your off hand, there’s a workout for that. What about improving hand strength? Yep, there’s a workout for that too. And 27 others!
Almost 200 individual drills so you’ll never get bored.
3 hours and 10 minutes.
The more you can practice dribbling in a high variety of ways, the sharper your handles will be. Better Ball Handling gives you the tools to do it.
Strength, Control, and Speed Workouts are designed to build the particular handles that you need on the ball in order to perform the moves and combinations that you’ll find in later workouts.
Two and Three Ball Workouts are meant to train two components of your dribbling behavior. The first is overall coordination with both hands – this will not only improve your dominant hand, but will drive your towards becoming ambidextrous, equally skilled with either hand going any direction. The second is to increase your confidence. If you can handle two or three balls, then one ball is a piece of cake.
Moving and Moves Workouts add a realism to the stationary workouts. Eventually, you have to exercise your skills while on the move. That’s the way the game is played.
Tennis Anyone? These tennis ball workouts are the single best way to train you to keep your head up and not watch the ball while you dribble. Eye-hand coordination is a premium for these workouts.
Specialty Workouts are named for special situations. Perhaps you need to develop a killer crossover or some particular dribble. I hear comments about how certain players need to work on their weak hand. Well, depending on which hand is the weaker hand, you’ll find a Right Hand Workout and a Left Hand Workout where you never touch the ball with the other hand. These are also great for those times when one hand is injured, or anything is injured. You can really work on your weak hand!
Four All Around Workouts are designed to build your All-Around Skills within a specific time bracket. There’s a 5-minute MVP, a 10-minute All-City, a 20-minute All-State, and a 30-minute All-American workout. You can combine them to accommodate any schedule. As an example; if you only have 15 minutes, then combine the 5-minute MVP with the 10-minute All-City workout.
You’ll need a half-court or a full-court for the Imagine the Game Workouts. They are designed to imitate as many game-like actions as possible. Within each workout, there are opportunities for you to exercise some imagination and choose your dribble move.
I organized Better Ball Handling this way specifically so that YOU can choose the workout depending on your level of expertise. They all begin with simple, easy dribbles and then progress to more challenging levels. Even the workouts themselves are arranged from simple to complex. Many of them last only a few minutes. Now … I could have easily made them longer by increasing the number of reps, but that would have limited the number of workouts on the dvd. If you want to lengthen the workout, then just repeat the workout or double the reps yourself. I encourage you to personalize your training by choosing different workouts from different chapters and coming up with your own combinations. With 30 workouts, you could make a different combination each day for an entire year and still have a variety left! It’s limited only by your imagination!
Is it possible to develop qualities like court sense, vision, and the instinctive ability to make the right pass at the right time? The answer, thanks to this basketball video, is yes! With Better Passing's 42 game situations, you'll learn how to read the court and develop that sixth sense that all great passers have!
Two Ball Passing, Dribbling and Ball Handling Drills
with Kevin Sutton, Montverde Academy Men's Basketball Head Coach, NIKE Skill Academy Instructor
NIKE Skill Academy Instructor Kevin Sutton takes you through this demanding dribble, pass and shoot series of drills designed to push players and improve ball handling. The benefit of improved ball handling is poise, ball control and improved "basketball I.Q." Once fundamental dribbling skills are mastered, Coach Sutton introduces more difficult drills that seriously test players' ability. The "One man drills" features 12 drills that emphasize ball control, passing and shooting. The "Two man drills" involve both the primary ball handler and the receiver of his passes. "Three man drills" become even more difficult and demand that players concentrate and communicate. The fast break series incorporates catching and shooting off the break and requires great teamwork. All of these drills can be extended into the backcourt to increase the difficulty of the workout. Continuing to build the offense, Sutton introduces the two cuts, two shots drill. In this drill, the point guard must have poise to enter the offense, feed his teammate and take two shots up top. Coach Sutton challenges his players and challenges you too by asking, "What are you willing to do to become great?" This DVD is the first step in that journey!

Fatigue Shooting Drills
with Kevin Sutton, Montverde Academy Men's Basketball Head Coach, NIKE Skill Academy Instructor
To become a great shooter, players must concentrate and execute when fatigue begins to set in. Coach Sutton uses his own players in this on-court session where they are pushed physically and mentally. Each drill requires players to be shot ready, react to situations, use proper technique and maintain total concentration. The workout opens with a dynamic stretching routine that combines stretching with ball handling. In the full court, Sutton introduces 11 drills that focus on stretching and concentration. The Power 45 drill demands communication and teamwork, as well as shooting and footwork. Each player shoots 45 shots from three spots on the floor. Before transitioning to the next drill, players shoot free throws, jump rope or run sprints. The Around the World drill uses chairs in three spots six feet around the basket. Maneuvering around chairs while shooting makes this drill a challenge. Chairs are moved to half court for the M drill. After each shot, players run around chairs to the next spot. X shooting is also difficult by adding a back pedal to half court followed by a shot in transition. Defense is added to the X drill where everything that happens in the game of basketball is simulated. The final drill is sideline to sideline touches with chairs. Defensive slides again are an added feature of this workout. Cool down is a chair shooting drill that allows players to concentrate while winding down from the workout. Each drill has been carefully and creatively designed to push players while working on their shooting. Games are won and lost in the last minutes and fatigue often plays a huge part. Use this DVD to join those who win when it counts!

Barry Brodzinski,
Five-Star Basketball Shooting Instructor
Coach Brodzinski has worked with some of the best shooters in the country during his time as shooting instructor at 5-Star. His expertise is on display in this DVD. The art of shooting is viewed from five different angles; getting open, using screens, the jab series, dribble moves and free throws. Each of these represents areas that players must master to become scorers. Getting open is often difficult for most players. Using the V- and L-cuts shown here, players can use skill to get open to receive the ball. Next, Brodzinski demonstrates how to effectively use the down screen, back screen and ball screen. The third area involves creating space by using the Jab Step. Highlights are the Pro Step Jab, the quick shot move, the jab and cross opposite and the Space Maker Move. Using dribble moves is another way to create shots. The cross over, inside-out dribble and the spin move are described and demonstrated. Lastly, a big emphasis is put on foul shooting. To make it realistic, foul-shooting practice must be done under duress while tired. The Combo 24 foul shooting drill combines sprinting with foul shooting. Players learn to concentrate and make important foul shots while exhausted. This DVD will assist players in becoming the best offensive players they can be!

with Tony Bergeron,

The ability to get open and create scoring opportunities is an underrated part of basketball. From preps to pros, coaches have begun to recognize creative, aggressive cutting as the prime way to escape defenses. This DVD is dedicated to getting open with and without screens. A great scorer must first become crafty enough to free himself from tenacious defenders. He can accomplish this on his own or with a teammate's help, as Bergeron illustrates in this workout. This DVD can arm your players with offensive weapons that can be used all over the floor. Bergeron teaches cuts, good screening mechanics, rip and bounce techniques, the triple threat position, the rocker step, the hop step, and how to drive to the basket. Driving to the basket is a skill that can be developed by practicing the drills in this presentation. Requiring all players to execute these drills will help enhance ball skills for all every player on your team. Bergeron includes an additional section covering post play and how posts can get open around the basket. This presentation outlines different ways for all players to gain advantages over the defense. To become a good cutting and scoring team, players must first master the art of getting open. This DVD gives you the drills and teaching points to get open and be a scoring threat against any defense.
