Here’s 7 things you’re probably NOT doing to build your foot & ankles for hoopers 🦶 ✅ Hops off two & one foot 2-3x/ week ✅ Expose ankle/foot to different contact angles ✅ Heavy isometrics ✅ Mobilize + train big toe ✅ Heavy eccentric loading ✅ Rope Walks ✅ Barefoot work

My NOT so hot take: As a coach, I shouldn’t be able to tell what sport your programming for when I see your athlete in the weight room Meaning, no fancy “sport specific” exercises, no ball or sticks attached to bands Just: 1. Sprint FAST 2. Jump HIGH & FAR 3. Lift HEAVY

Simple and plain, IRON SHARPENS IRON! Two of the most dominant bigs in that era of basketball competing day in and day out to get better Same can apply to training, having a solid training partner can 10x your gains: 1. Race each other 2. Jump and make it a comp 3. Lift
Rare footage of 2 top 10 big men of all time going AT IT in practice👀 Tim Duncan and David Robinson were a force on the court

Tristan Wirfs out-jumped Cam Boozer on the vertical jump weighing 67lbs heavier However, it’s not because he’s a “better” athlete… Let’s talk about this 🧵
