Ball Handling Improvement – The Proof

NEXT WEEK (on Monday 11th) we are going to release a ball handling product that truly improves your ball handling.  It will help you (or your son or daughter) make incredible progress.  But what will improvement look like?

There are no short cuts to getting good at basketball and there is certainly no short cut to getting a better handle and becoming a great ball handler.  I’m not going to tell you that I have a magic program.  BUT, there are ways to practice more efficiently and to get better FASTER.  You can go out there and find trainers that talk about how they train Steph Curry or other stars, but the reality is, I’m not Steph Curry and you aren’t Steph Curry.  What most basketball players need is an outlined program to improve.

I want to show you that if you put your mind to it and you follow an intelligent program, you can improve tremendously.  Some people have actually told me that they think the “before” scenes of this video are fake.  I can assure you, they are not.  When I first worked with this young player I knew we had our work cut out for us.  He struggled with coordination.  This guy couldn’t dribble without looking down.  If you watch, he pushed his shot like a shot put.  I certainly helped this young guy along, but a large reason he got better was that he was patient, he trusted me, and he was willing to workout on his own.  He and I only met once every week or two.  So the progress you see here is he and I working out maybe 15 together for his off-season, but he worked out on his own with the workouts I gave him to do at least 3 or 4 days per week.

Another client of ours wanted to learn a whole new position in an offseason.  His team was going to ask him to move into a shooting guard position and even some point guard.  He was 6’3 and was usually asked to play the small forward or power forward position.  But he and his coaches knew he would have to be a guard if he were to play at the D1 schools that he wanted to play at.  Over 6 weeks Elijah worked out with me 3-4 days per week, we taught Elijah a new position.  He had a wonderful year in the season after we worked together averaging 14 points and 5 assists per game as a shooting guard on a team that had FIVE D1 scholarship players on it.

Check out some words from his father and a video of his 6 weeks of work!
