Each and every off-season workout, you have a choice to make. You can choose to work hard or you can choose not to work hard. Not working hard is a choice. You are 100% in control of the effort you put forth. For this off-season to be as productive as possible, you need to choose to work hard all of the time!

You need to choose to have a strong ‘want to.’ I want to jump higher or I want to start on varsity next season. Most player’s ‘want to’ is just lip service. They say they want something but they don’t make the sacrifices necessary to make it happen.

Think your ‘want to’ is strong? Let’s say your goal is to gain 10 lbs. this off-season. If I weighed you on May 1^st and told you on September 1^st I would weigh you again, and if you were 10 lbs. heavier I would give you $1,000,000 cash, would you accept my offer? Of course you would! Think you would achieve your goal? I guarantee you would. You would be so focused and determined you would probably gain 15 lbs. Your ‘want to’ would be unstoppable!

To maximize your off-season you need to find a way to tap into your ‘want to’ with that type of conviction (even though there isn’t a million dollar prize involved).

Too often players’ ‘want to’ gets weakened by the little voice in their head that says…

"I don’t ‘want to’ work out today. I will get up extra shots tomorrow. I will lift weights tomorrow.”

If you let that little voice win, your ‘want to’ is weak. If you let that little voice win, you won’t be successful.

How strong is your ‘want to’?

Strengthening your ‘want to’ is not easy. It is OK if you need some help. In fact, I recommend you get some help. Find someone who pushes you to be the best you can be. Someone that holds you accountable. Someone that motivates you, inspires you, and encourages you. Someone that tells you what you need to hear; not what you want to hear. Someone that gives you energy. Someone who supports and strengthens your ‘want to’.

Do you have a person like this in your life?

Train hard. Train smart.

Common Training Mistakes

2011-03-31T08:06:00.001-07:00

Alan Stein 25. March 2011 01:09

7 common mistakes with off-season training:

1. Players get caught up in the latest fads. While there are a ton of valuable tools you can use to get stronger and more powerful, you don’t need any goofy shoes or gizmos and gadgets to get better. You need to intensely and progressively work the muscles of your entire body through every plane of movement and angle of motion. This can be done with a combination of fundamental exercises (squats, pull-ups, deadlifts, etc.) as well as a variety of modalities (med balls, bands, etc.). However, if you spend your entire workout standing on one foot on a BOSU ball; you are not getting stronger (and you look ridiculous).

2. Players pay little attention to proper footwork and technique. Your footwork is critical in shooting as well as in your agility training. Proper landing, planting and cutting is important for injury prevention as well as efficiency on the court. Don’t reinforce bad habits when you are training.

3. Players who casually follow a workout program. There is nothing magical about a program that comes from a famous player, coach or team. This includes my programs! Following a program does not guarantee success. It’s not what you do; it’s how you do it! Effort, consistency and progression are the key to success for any training program.

4. Players follow a program not specific to their needs. Strength & conditioning for basketball is a means to an end, not an end itself. You are not a bodybuilder, football player, marathon runner, or Olympic lifter; so you should not train like one! There are valuable exercises and concepts from each of those domains, but you need to follow a program specific to you as a basketball player. Are the resistances you are using appropriate? Are you working the right movement patterns (defensive slides, jumping, back pedaling, etc.)? Are you working within appropriate work/rest ratios?

5. Players constantly over train. Basketball is already very plyometric in nature, no need to overdo it with excessive amounts of plyos. If you played in a few AAU games over the weekend, you don’t need to do 4,000 reps of depth jumps on Monday. Not getting enough rest in between workouts is another problem. You don’t need to lift every day of the week to make progress.

6. Players have poor nutritional habits. I will make this simple - eat like crap, play like crap.

7. Players don’t work on their fundamentals. No matter how fit or strong you are, if you can’t shoot, pass, defend or handle the ball you will never be a good basketball player! Basketball fundamentals are only improved through task specific repetition. Thousands and thousands of repetitions at game speed!

Workouts don’t have to be long. Short, intense workouts done consistently and progressively will get the job done.

“If you only work hard on the days you feel like it, nothing will ever get done!”

Commit yourself to excellence every workout. One day at a time. Build your success brick by brick. Over the course of the entire off-season you will make great progress.

Next season’s success is determined by what you do today!

Play Off Time

Playoff Time!

by Alan Stein 22. February 2011 00:33

It’s finally here.

It’s playoff time. It’s win or go home time. It’s the time of year that players and coaches have been preparing for since the off-season.

This quote reflects our team’s outlook:

“Respect every opponent; don’t take anyone lightly. On any given night, you can beat anyone. On any given night, anyone can beat you.”

If we execute and ‘Play Present’ for 40 minutes… we will win.

If we don’t… we will lose.

It’s that simple.

Our preparation won’t change. Although we recognize that everything is heightened during the playoffs, we will continue to emphasize the same things we have all year long:

· Play hard! In the blink of an eye, this season will be over. There is no reason to hold back. Leave all of your heart, soul, and love on the court. Play with passion. Play with a sense of urgency. For seniors, your next game could be your last high school basketball game ever.

· Play smart! Value the ball. Think the game. Make the easy play. Make the right play. Don’t try to be the hero, do what you do best. If you miss an easy shot, commit a stupid foul, or make a careless turnover… quickly move on to the ‘Next Play.’ Don’t let one bad play turn into two.

· Play together! Love your teammates. Be unselfish. Regardless of your role, do everything in your power to help your team be successful. Have pride in your program. Stay focused and committed to your coach’s game plan. Don’t let anything distract you… on or off the court.

· Have fun! Don’t get nervous, get excited! Be thankful for the opportunity to play the game you love. Enjoy the journey. You will remember this for the rest of your life.

Great Players

2011-01-20T10:32:00.000-08:00

Coach Eastman is an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics and is the Director of the Nike Basketball Skills Academies. He is a brilliant coach and works as hard on his craft has any coach I have ever met. He truly inspires me.

Coach Eastman wrote a recent blog entitled, ‘Characteristics of Great Players.’ It was a bulleted list of what the best players in the league do on a daily basis that makes them special.

The fascinating part is – every bullet point on his list is 100% controllable! The ‘characteristics of great players’ are things that every player at every level can do. You don’t have to be Paul Pierce or Rajon Rondo to do these things.

Here is a slightly revised list of Coach Eastman’s ‘Characteristics of Great Players’:

· Great players have tremendous focus during the entire practice or game (‘Play Present’).

· Great players listen with their eyes and ears whenever a coach or teammate is speaking.

· Great players want to be coached. They crave coaching because it makes them better.

· Great players want to work out and want to practice. They know that is when they get better.

· Great players go just as hard in practice as they do in games.

· Great players stick with a drill until they get it right. They aren’t satisfied with average.

· Great players pay attention to every detail. Everything is important.

· Great players can’t stand lazy teammates (or coaches).

· Great players very rarely miss practice for any reason.

· Great players want to hear the truth – not have people ‘blow smoke.’

· Great players hold themselves accountable for everything they do. Everything.

· Great players hold their teammates accountable for everything they do. Everything.

· Great players are committed to excellence in all areas – mind, body, and spirit.

· Great players hate to lose. They want to win every drill, every sprint, and every game.

If this list describes you, can you use your leadership to positively influence your teammates?

If this list doesn’t describe you, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Game Preparation

2010-12-20T13:34:00.000-08:00

Game Preparation

Dictionary.com provided this definition of the word “prepare”:

[pri-pair] – Verb

To put in proper condition or readiness.

How do you prepare for games?

1) Do you get 7-8 hours of sound sleep the night before a game?

2) Do you review your playbook or read your opponent’s scouting report before you go to sleep?

3) Do you eat a healthy, energy packed breakfast the morning of your game?

4) Do you pack your uniform, shoes, etc. in advance to avoid scrambling at the last minute?

5) Do you “dress for success” on game day to put yourself in a confident state of mind?

6) Do you eat small snacks and drink plenty of water throughout the day?

7) Do you eat an appropriate pre-game meal 3-4 hours before tip-off?

8) Do you meet with your Athletic Trainer if you have any issues or nagging injuries?

9) Do you arrive early to avoid the risk of getting stressed over traffic, bad weather, or a flat tire?

10) Do you visualize playing well before the game begins?

11) Do you know what gets you ready to play (listen to music, find a quiet spot, etc.)?

12) Do you know what gets your teammates ready to play (and allow them to do it)?

13) Do you go through a sufficient pre-game warm-up before you take the court?

14) Do you stay focused during your warm-up once you have taken the court?

15) Do you listen with your eyes and ears when your coach is giving the pre-game speech?

Ultimately, all of these questions lead to this:

Do you wait for the game to start or do you prepare for the game to start?

Here is a visualization technique to help you prepare:

Sit with your eyes closed, in complete silence, for 2-3 minutes and visualize a specific time in your life when you played the best basketball you have ever played. A time you vividly remember when you were in the zone – when every shot you took went in and every pass you made was on the money. Engage every sense. What did the gym look like? Sound like? Smell like? How did you feel? This technique will put you in a confident frame of mind when you take the court. You can do this by yourself, or better yet, do this with your team.

Mt goal is simple: To prepare by doing everything possible to give my players the best chance to be successful and win. I take into account every aspect of preparation and don’t believe any detail is too small.

Our pre-game routine is standard. Consistency is a building block to success. Our players head to the locker room to get dressed at halftime of the game before ours. We begin our 10 minute warm-up 40 minutes before tip-off. That leaves 10 minutes to review our match ups, the “keys to winning the game,” . We do our on-court pre-game warm-up for the remaining 20 minutes before tip-off.

Then we put in work.

Find Your Zone

Find Your Zone

Dr. Rob Bell
Ball State University

There are instances within all of sports where everything is perfect. These are times when there are no thoughts, movements are effortless, and time is transcended. Csíkszentmihályi (1990) characterized this state as “flow,” although it has become popularized by the more common name of being “in the zone.” It is essentially losing oneself in the moment of our activity.
Throughout the history of sports, there have been numerous examples of athletes being in the zone. A perfect illustration of this state was Michael Jordan during the 1992 NBA championship series against the Portland Trailblazers, hitting seven 3-pointers in a row and scoring 35 points in the first half. Jordan was so shocked by his performance that after his seventh 3-pointer, he just threw up his hands as to say “I can’t explain it.”
David Toms also epitomized the “zone” or “flow” during the 2005 Accenture match play. During the week, he hit 74% of greens in regulation, made 37 birdies, two eagles, and only four bogeys throughout six matches and 118 holes of play. During the final 36-hole match against Chris Dimarco, Dimarco played the match 3-under par despite losing the match being 6 holes down with 5 to play. In fact, Toms at one point held a 9-up lead with 10 holes to play. Toms play epitomized losing oneself in the moment; “I can’t explain why I felt like I did all week,” Toms said “I just felt very, very comfortable with myself and the golf that was in front of me. I don’t know that I’ve ever really felt like that in an event.” (LA Times, Feb 28, 2005)
The beauty of this flow state is that it is not limited to athletic endeavors; painters, musicians, writers, surgeons, and chess masters have described similar feelings. We can even encounter “flow” during everyday life. Whether we are totally immersed in conversation, shaving, or daily chores, a lot of activities present the opportunity to experience “flow.” The key ingredients that provide the best opportunity to experience our zone are to structure our activities accordingly.
To work toward flow state, we must merge our actions and awareness. The universal experience for the zone is that our performance becomes automatic. Everything is so effortless that we do not even recognize our total concentration on the task at hand. However, since lapses in concentration can hinder these states, we must learn to eliminate outside distractions, self-critiquing, and/or thinking about the outcome. Here are a few ideas to help:

Eliminate outside distractions such as cell phones or iPods. It is easier to focus on the task at hand without these devices.
Have clear goals that balance our skill level with the challenge. If we set too high a challenge, then we will become anxious, and if we set too low a challenge then boredom will result and we won’t improve.
Approach every practice as an opportunity to improve. Avoid self-critiquing yourself with language like” I messed up again”, or “I can’t get this right.” Instead, view every moment as a challenge to improve.

4 Ways to Improve Your Mental Game

2010-11-03T15:54:00.000-07:00

Want to shoot better? Then you might be surprised at how much of your game is mental.
For instance, if you imagine yourself missing shot after shot, how do you feel? Pretty lousy. And, chances are very high that you're going to do exactly what you imagined: you're going to miss shot after shot.
Then, your performance spirals downward because the more shots you miss, the worse you shoot.
So, let's look at how to improve your mental game with these basketball shooting tips that will help you shoot better.

Stop Thinking

Practice is the time to think about the mechanics of your shooting, not during a game.
When it comes to your games, don't think about your shot, and don't pick apart the mechanics of what you're doing. This will only trip you up.
Just shoot.

Stop Being Afraid of Failing

Did you know that even the pros miss their shots more than half the time?
Yep. More than half.
Stop being terrified of missing your shots. Everyone misses.
Fear causes anxiety. Anxiety causes you to tense up. And then you're going to miss even more shots.
So, relax. Realize that if your shooting game isn't on, you can still contribute to the team in other ways like basketball defense. It all comes out in the wash.

Focus On Your Zone

You've probably been in The Zone before, right? You know, when your shots seemed effortless, and playing was just plain fun.
When you're in The Zone you feel like you're flying. So, make an effort to get in The Zone for games. Focus on clearing your mind of clutter. Make a list of everything you need to do (school work, things at work, etc.) so you don't have to think about remembering it all during the game.
This will keep your mind focused on playing, and nothing else.

Relax

When your mind is relaxed, your body is relaxed, and when your body is relaxed, your shots are looser and more accurate.
So, make a real effort to relax before games.
How? Well, you can try meditation. Don't laugh; even Kobe Bryant meditates before his games.
To meditate, sit in a comfortable position in a quiet place. Close your eyes, relax your mind, and just focus on breathing in and out. That's it.
Do this for up to 20 minutes. Normally 10 minutes will be fine, but if you're getting really relaxed then keep at it!
Meditation can work wonders for your mindset before a game, so don't be afraid to try this technique.

The Ultimate Guide to Playing Point Guard

Red Jackets Intensity Improving With Win over Selects

2010-10-25T09:50:00.000-07:00

Red Jackets U17 Boys successful in match versus Selects!

Congratulations to the U17 team for their win last night. The Selects immediately set a fast tempo to the game which the Red Jackets responded favourably to. Although the Selects were within four points at the end of the quarter, the 2nd quarter proved to be a challenge to the opponents as the Red Jackets offense widened the score gap while our defense kept their score to a minimum.

While our defence is improving, our 2nd half was not as intense as our first half. This is something we are constantly working on for improvement and are very pleased with the progress we are making.

With 5 - 3's scored, the Red Jackets never gave up the lead winning the match 72-61.

Player of the game is Jordan for his solid defence and for implementing all that was asked of him by the coaches.

Red Jacket U17 Boys Play Hard vs. Talented CYDC

2010-10-03T14:08:00.000-07:00

Playing against a very talented CYDC, Red Jacket U17 Boys played with intensity and drive even though losing the contest 75-49. The team in the 1st half seemed to be bothered by CYDC pressure defense that led to many steals for the opponents which helped them score 49 1st half points. Red Jackets becoming more focused along with a more aggressive style of play competed better in the 2nd half as the score was only 26-15 in favor of CYDC. A marked improvement on defense in particular for the Red Jacket Boy's. Player of the game went to Jamal with his drives to the hoops along with collecting numerous steals off the Freak Defense that the team runs. As in past seasons Red Jacket Teams get better as the season moves along and they look forward to practice tonight in preparation for their next fall league game encounter.

Red Jacket U17 Premier Boys Compete In Exhibition Action

2010-09-27T16:13:00.000-07:00

The U17 Red Jackets Boys were successful in their exhibition game versus the Selects on Sunday afternoon. Once the first quarter, new season jitters dissipated, the team settled down and began to pull away from the quick Selects team. At half time Coach Randy reminded the players that defence would be their key to a win. With discipline, the Red Jackets executed a defence that proved to be a challenge for the opposing team in the fourth quarter. The scoreboard reflected a final score of 83 - 59 in favour of the Red Jackets. There were 3's scored, great drives to the net, solid rebounding and assertive defence. The team will need some work on their foul shots but it was a great team effort by all. Overall, Coach Randy and Coach Barb are extremely pleased with the team's performance in their first match. Congratulations to Player of the Game Kyle for implementing what was asked of him by the coaches.

Congratulations Team!

Red Jacket Club Basketball Enters 4th Season

2010-09-05T19:31:00.000-07:00

President and Head Basketball Coach Randy Peron is very excited to see his club organization enter it's 4th year of operation. " It has alwas been a goal of mine to create a club system in Calgary and surrounding areas to help develop young student athletes basketball skills so that each and everyone of them can be better prepared to contribute for their upcoming high school season or college. Teaching players European fundamental skills so they are more adapt to the FIBA Game has been a success in everyway. I have had numerous high school players continue to play the game in either University or College. From a variety of tournaments in the city, out of province and into the states many players have enjoyed the experience of playing for Red Jacket Basketball. Starting with 1 U17 Boys Team, Red Jacket Basketball now has over 50 players who play in U15 Boys-U17 Girl's-U17 Boy's and Open Division Men's Team's. I will continue to hire top level college players to coach the variety of team's in the future along with other seasoned personal. Our goal is not to favor a few with playing minutes but to allow all players from all team's to be able to contribute to this Team Sport."
