E16 - Basketball Drills And Physical Conditioning Go To Book
Listen now
Description
In this episode I discuss my go to book for all things basketball conditioning and court drills. The author Gregg Brittenham was head of strength and conditioning for the NBA team, New York Knicks, during the 90s and is wildly recognised as pivotal in the Knicks' journey to the 1999 NBA finals and the 2000 conference finals. The Foreword is by Patrick Ewing, Hall of Fame center for the Knicks. I played basketball at amateur level during my late 20s to early 30s and had to remain in peak physical condition, for the demands of this superb team sport. Basketball requires a multitude of physical disciplines, from strength and endurance to speed and power, with flexibility and mobility equally essential. Injury (patella tendonitis) eventually took its toll my knee and subsequently I stopped playing in 2001....and took up golf, which is another story I'll cover in future episodes. This book will help you, your team mates and head coach effectively plan on court basketball drills with detailed diagrams and accompanying photos.
