Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first session, I assess body mechanics, body language, and how the player responds to feedback. Even with players as young as three years old, we’re working on cognitive skills—how instructions are taken and given—right alongside the physical fundamentals. We start with simple, high-value drills to gauge coordination, balance, and movement efficiency, with a strong emphasis on footwork, because most young athletes haven’t learned how to use their body to make the game easier. By the end of that hour, I know exactly which skills need priority and have set the foundation for a tailored plan that accelerates both physical ability and basketball IQ
Lesson 11+Physical: Athletic movement is second nature—player can execute complex sequences fluidly at game speed.
• Mental: High basketball IQ—understands spacing, timing, and decision-making in live play scenarios.
• Skill: Demonstrates transferable skills in scrimmage situations; consistent efficiency under light defensive pressure.
Lesson 4-10Physical: Stronger coordination between upper and lower body; quicker first steps; more efficient pivots and direction changes.
• Mental: Retention of prior drills without needing full re-explanation; able to self-correct mid-drill.
• Skill: Execution of 2–3 move combinations (e.g., footwork + ball fake + drive) with controlled speed
Lesson 2-3By the second lesson, the player can expect sharper body control, improved confidence with the ball, and a clearer understanding of footwork principles that make the game easier. We’ll be layering in more complex variations of the drills from day one—pushing their pace, decision-making, and reaction time—while reinforcing proper mechanics.
By the third lesson, they should already see measurable improvement in movement efficiency, ball-handling control, and the ability to process and apply feedback quickly. For my youngest athletes, this also means stronger cognitive skills: following multi-step instructions, anticipating the next move, and communicating effectively on the court. At this stage, we’re not just building skill—we’re building habits and a basketball mind that will separate them from their peers.
