Off-season fun

5/6/2014

The start to this off-season has reminded me of all the things I love about the game of basketball and coaching at the high school level.  We have had kids from every grade level continuing to work on their game and improve for next season.  Our high school girls have been in the weight room 3 days a week at 6 AM for 6 weeks now and the results are starting to show.  Big shout out to Bri Patria for bench pressing 100 lbs last Friday!  We have also had a lot of fun at the youth levels so far this off-season.  Our 5th/6th AAU team as been competing against some older multi-town teams and has battled in every games!  Seeing our older girls interact with the younger team has really reminded me that what we are trying to do is bigger than just the game of basketball.  

That being said, the off-season is a time to improve your basketball skills and take your game to the next level if you have goals to accomplish next winter.  What are you doing to improve yourself in the off-season?  Are you taking 300-500 shots a day at game speed?  Are you working on your ball-handling for 15-20 minutes a day?  When you play pick-up or AAU are you challenging yourself on defense on EVERY play?  Picking up at 1/2 court?  Staying in a stance when you are in help and maintaining a high level of intensity? (if you want to know what that means, go watch Jenna Gregoire play sometime).  Are you going to go to any camps this summer? If so what ones?  

Reply to this post and let everyone know what your off-season goals are and what you are going to do to accomplish them.

One of my biggest off-season goals is to get stronger (weightlifting!!!), both for the upcoming high school season and for college afterwards. I also want to work on my game as a whole in becoming more confident with back to the basket moves as well as dribbling. Lastly, I want to get used to playing with people who are bigger and stronger than me to prepare for the future.

My plans for the off season are to get stronger, improve and become more consistent with my shot, and to protect the basketball better.
