I would love to establish a baseline level of performance. I will do this by gauging how the client performs on a series of drills/exercises. From there, I can make a tailored plan for their goals! If additional time allows, I would like to work on any fundamentals.
I would work with a beginner to ensure their competency in basketball fundamentals. This would include multiple close range shots, basic ball handling, working on jump shot form, and conditioning if necessary.
Once the beginner has a firm grasp on basketball basics, I would transition into more nuanced aspects: Reactions to a defense, introductions into more advanced terminology/rules, and building the off-hand. All while continuing to hone the fundamentals.
At this point, I would transition the lessons to be primarily goal focused. Whether that is overall improvement, jumpshot focus, in-game maneuvers, etc., I want to help my client reach their maximum potential. I look forward to working with my clients to help them appreciate basketball as much as I do!
