As Coaches and organizations continue to demand more from their athletes, and the players themselves are more and more driven to be the next superstar or grab the next scholarship, the skill and talent levels of each new wave of players will continue to rise. Next season the average player will be jumping higher, reacting quicker and elevating the sport. Like most other sports, Basketball now demands devotion to every aspect of training. From strength training in the weight room to plyometric drills to individual skill work. Tomorrows high school player or college recruit has to use every training advantage possible to make it to the next level. Hard work and dedication pay off for sure, but to gain a real advantage today's athlete needs to train smarter and not just harder. As a parent of two young boys that have started to show a real interest and love for the game of Basketball, I have devoted a fair amount of time over the past two years to researching the most effective training methods available so my guys will have the best possible chance of achieving their hoop dreams. As someone who still plays competitive ball myself, I also was interested in not only maintaining my game but getting better every time I stepped on the court. What has emerged from this effort is a training tool that is without a doubt the most effective upper body strength training system for Basketball period.
