Just in time for basketball season -- I am putting the finishing touches on a brand new book!
This new book (still deciding on the title) is going to be a bit different than my previous 2 books, The Complete Basketball Strength & Speed Program and The Mentally Tough Shooting Workout. This new book is specifically for players so they can set goals and track their basketball and mental progress ... in essence it is a guided journal / goal-setting book. It is a great tool for basketball players to learn more about themselves and to dig deeper mentally.
This new book will come in a beautiful hard cover with customization options available. The release date is near but yet to be determined.
Keep an eye on your inbox for more information and pre-order specials only for you, an 'Inside the Rim' subscriber!

Hoops U :: The Blog
If you've been around Hoops U. long enough, you know that I'm not one to blog on a consistent basis. I suppose what I want to say, I put into articles, plays, and drills. I will, of course, utilize Twitter and Facebook to share real-time updates and some random thoughts. There are, however, times where I do want to share something that doesn't quite work as a tweet or facebook post ... which is why I've set up a new blog using tumblr.
At Hoops U :: The Blog, I will sharing those random thoughts that pop into my head from time to time. I will also be sharing quotes, tips, video's, audio, and more.
Check out Hoops U :: The Blog when you get a chance!! |

Coaching Points when Teaching the Layup...
These are great tips for youth players and might seem a little basic for older levels. However, as you start getting into the season and watching games at all levels, keep an eye on just how many layups are missed. You might be surprised! Besides, we all need to remember the fundamentals!
- The backboard is your friend!
- Use the backboard so the ball can drop into the rim from above. Trying to roll the ball over the rim often causes the ball to roll right back out.
- See the ball in the rim after shooting.
- Concentrate on the same spot on the backboard.
- Shoot high and soft.
- On power layups, power it up strong then release with a light touch. (for some players, this requires a lot of practice).
The layup is a 100 percent shot. You cannot get any closer to the basket, therefore, it must be made. Don't neglect the layup because YOU think it's easy ... it may not be so easy for some players.
