OK now on to basketball. It's February and that means you're season is heating up or you're season is about to be over because you won't be competing in post-season play. Well look on the bright side, you can start training early. A lot of you have been calling and e-mailing regarding scheduling and we will be releasing the schedule soon, I promise. Also this summer I hope to be able to offer you a revolutionary new approach to off-season training. It will only work if you're willing to commit to it and get out of it what you put into it. Of course you could always do what you did last off-season, but look where that got you? Stay tuned for more details and remember to get SPARQ Tested before you start training so you can benchmark yourself and identify your weaknesses. Once you have identified your weaknesses you can set up your training schedule and program in a way that will turn your weaknesses into your strengths.

So if you're looking to boost your scoring average play a game in Madison Square Garden. Based on this week's results word is getting around that this is the place to be if you want to boost your scoring average. For what it's worth I am more impressed with LeBron's 52 10 and 11 over Kobe's 61 0 and 3. Can you guess the last person in the NBA to record a Triple Double while scoring 50 points? For those of you old enough to remember go here. Hey you can judge for yourself on Sunday when Kobe and LeBron meet head to head. Here are some memorable MSG scoring outbursts just for old time's sake:
After Practice
Here are a few things you can do after practice if you want to be better than the rest.....
Start on the baseline roll the ball straight out to the right elbow jump stop and pivot facing the basket make 10 successful shots using the following moves:
- Sweep One Dribble Lay-Up
- Jab Step and Jump Shot
- Shot Fake 1 Dribble Right Lay-Up
- Shot Fake 1 Dribble Pull-Up R/L
- Shot Fake 1 Dribble Right Between the Legs Finish with Left Hand Lay-Up
Repeat this series on the Left Hand Side making sure you utilize the correct pivot foot.
