Last week we brought you this on-court strength training video with DeMatha Catholic from Alan Stein and Stronger Team.
We came across another video from the Stronger Team family, and it’s a good one. At one time or another, every player finds himself (or herself) at a fast food spot after practice or a game. But what should you order so that you don’t undo all of the hard work you just put in on the court or in the weight room? MORE >

During the basketball season, teams don’t always have access to weight rooms or the luxury of time to schedule weight sessions. The good news is that there are effective strength and conditioning workouts that teams can do on the court, without free weights and machines, before or after practice, in a relatively short amount of time.
Check out this video that our good friend Alan Stein of Stronger Team put together with the famed DeMatha Catholic basketball program: MORE >

They call it the “John Wall Blueprint”. People forget, Wall was a late bloomer. For a while, he was virtually unknown. Then he blew up at the Reebok Breakout Challenge and the rest is history. Jonathan Milligan is another cat trying to follow that blueprint. As Dallas’ Jason Terry said upon introducing him to the crowd, Milligan was unknown even in his own state of Arizona before putting in work at the Breakout Challenge. Now, the 6-1 point guard from Casa Grande Union High School is fielding offers from Pac-10 schools. MORE >

He wasn’t afraid, wasn’t shy. He went right at the NBA guys, and had his own little game-within-the-game going on against John Wall. Darrick Wood held his own, and did a few things to stand out. At one point, Wood put down a sideways windmill where it seemed like he jumped, met the rim, then chilled for a split second, before bringing the ball all the way around for a finish. MORE >
