Focus:

Skills Focus - (Repeat it back to me)

• shooting
• dribbling

Life Focus

• Every time when you get tired, your body decides to change - you get a little stronger you get a little better.
• Only happens if you get tired.
• So today we want to get tired - or I call it - Waking Up the Angry Tired Monster
• but after you wake up the "Tired Monster" she is going to yell at you to slow down, to stop moving so much - thats when you stick your tongue out at her and let her know she's not the boss of you.

• Two goals:
  • Wake Up the Angry Tired Monster
  • Stick your tongue out and show her you are the boss - not her.
  • Last Year - if you got tired - you might yell at the "Tired Monster" - I'm Not Tired

Overview:

• Todays practice is a set of repeating 5 minute efforts - 1 minute break in between.
• While we are working - there is no walking, there is no wasting time, only high levels of effort to get better.
• Then we will break for 1 minute - hold the balls - and listen for whats next.

Concepts:

1. Shooting (Jump Shots)

   • Load (Legs)
   • Lift (two hands move the around a noodle to your hair line)
   • Line (Eventual Goal: Single Arm Shooting)
   • Laces (Hand in Cookie Jar)

2. Dribbling:

   • your finger tips are the steering wheel for the ball
   • your body is a shield for the ball
