"Centering"

Wooden's Pyramid of Success says it all.

The center row shows CONDITIONING, SKILL, and TEAM SPIRIT.

Conditioning isn't easy. Conditioning exacts a price, whether "stadiums" (on the bleachers), 45s (side to side sprinting on the basketball court), weight training, or plyometrics.



Here the coach demonstrates some plyometric, strength, balance, and quickness exercises. I also like a "hexagon drill" using a hexagon with 18 inch lengths, where you jump in and out clockwise and counterclockwise.

Three weeks until "training camp."
