Game-Like Conditioning Drills
Star Shooting
This is a great way to work on moving at game speed and then setting your feet and knocking down shots! It's also a great conditioning drill. A score of less than 10 is considered "good", a score of less than 5 is "excellent" and a score of 0 is "outstanding"!

Why you should take
the weight-room seriously
The game of basketball has evolved substantially since the days of Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan. Back then, it was uncommon for players to touch a weight and many athletes got by with freakish natural ability.
Now, if you aren't finding ways increase your force production via strength training, you will find yourself a step slow on the court. Never a good thing when trying to keep a player in front of you on defense, trying to out-rebound someone, win a tip ball, blow past someone on the catch, etc.
Off-season, pre-season, and in-season strength training is crucial for reasons aside from being bigger, stronger, and faster. It also helps with injury prevention in terms of joint resiliency, stronger bones, and better motor patterns.

Basketball Specific Strength Training
Medicine Ball Rips
Medicine Ball Rips are a great way to build total body endurance. This is typically a drill for basketball players, but can be used for any athlete wanting to build lateral explosiveness, a stronger core, and upper-body speed.
- Pick a ball relative to your strength, 8-12lb is typical.
- Rip the ball from your hip while stepping with your "inside" foot and pushing with your "outside" foot.
- Land in a jump stop, with your feet about hip width apart.
- Repeat to the other side.
