The days of stretching on your backside are over! Alan Stein demonstrates how your warm-up before any type of workout or practice can set the tone both mentally and physically for the activity to follow.

WARM-UP
The goal of a proper warm-up is to make the muscles more elastic and to lubricate the joints, getting the body prepared for exercise.

In Stien's Full-Court Series, players execute the movements they will use when playing: sprinting, backpedaling, sliding and jumping.

The Tempo Series includes eight exercises mimicking game situations. Players are required to adjust from accelerating to decelerating with pivots and close-outs.

Stein incorporates a basketball and tennis ball for both the Ball Series and Tennis Ball Series. These series loosen up hips, core, and ankles while simultaneously working on communication skills and increasing dexterity.

FLEXIBILITY
Dynamic flexibility exercises are used to increase player's range of motion and mobility. Learn nine half-court movements and seven more stationary drills you can use if you are limited by space.

There is a difference between being fit and being in great basketball shape. Alan Stein takes it to the court to demonstrate a variety of agility and conditioning drills designed to increase players' reaction speed and athletic performance.

Agility Drills
It is certainly important to be fast, however it is your ability to go fast, decelerate and quickly change direction that will make you effective on the court. Stein teaches and demonstrates over a dozen agility, reaction, and change of direction drills that replicate game like situations.

Team Conditioning
Break up the monotony of running suicides as a team conditioner! With these creative drills you can get the same work done (change of direction work in :28 to :35 second bursts) while keeping your players stimulated and using different running patterns.

With 11 basketball-specific conditioners, Stein conveys many ideas that can easily be modified or expanded to create a limitless number of drills and exercises.
