Is Steph, Kryie, Kobe, or LeBron, your favorite player? If so you should remember something they all believe: There are no shortcuts. To be great you have to master the basics and practice them.
In this video, Coach George Karl is teaching the CLOSE OUT. This is something we have worked on and a skill that is imperative in helping to shutdown the opponent's offense before they can get into it and kickstarts our fast break offense if we can create a turnover out of the defense.
Competition Friday Challenge
This week we are preparing for our tournament so there won't be competition Friday.
Last week's winner of a Game Stop gift card was Cameron. Isaiah finished second and Jordan won the Graduate/Alumni competition.
The challenge was fitness, strength and endurance based with Cameron doing the most push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, and holding his plank the longest.
Way to go Boys!
