In the video Coach Godwin shows you how to perform a drill that works on your ball handling, footwork, passing and mid-range jump shot.  This drill may be difficult at first but try to keep your head up as you weave through the cones.  Perform a nice pass and stay balanced on your jump shot.

@CoachGodwin Ep 30: The Kyrie Irving Drill @KyrieIrving

Kyrie Irving is the epitome of a point guard and overall basketball player (Disclaimer I am from New Jersey).  In a day in age where basketball is ruled by athleticism it is refreshing to see someone break into the star ranks with basketball I.Q.  Kyrie understands the game of basketball and his knowledge of the game allowed him to become Rookie of the Year.  This drill was inspired by Kyrie Irving as he showed the world (at USA camp) what a lot of us already knew.  The game is 80% Mental and 20% Physical.

What is the secret to success on the basketball court?  Why is it that only 1,800 out of over 150,000 high school seniors will receive an athletic scholarship?  What does it take to become one of the 450 NBA players? What makes these two groups of players apart of the basketball elite? I have the answer to all of these questions in this motivational video titled “The Basketball Secret.”  Make sure you watch this before every game and workout.  #TheBballSecret

many players shy away from the physicality of the game of basketball.  In my 80/20 Scorer DVD I go in depth on the subject of finishing off of contact.  This is one of the many drills I perform with my guys to get them mentally and physically prepared to play through contact.

@CoachGodwin Ep: 25 Dribble, Catch, Screen Shooting Drill

July 13, 20120 Comments

 

Whenever you go to the gym to do skill work you have to know the difference between quality and quantity.  Quantity is you just putting in a ton of hours without purpose.  Quality is when you have a plan and understand how to become more efficient in your work outs.  In this drill we are focusing on 3 ways you can shoot the basketball.  Off the dribble, catch, and screen.  I love multi-skill drills like this, that prepare you to shoot in any situation.

‘Ambition is the path to success, persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”

If you want to make that Hall of Fame speech one day, you have to learn how con­vert obsta­cles into oppor­tu­ni­ties.  Every suc­cess story comes with a price tag that includes hard work and per­se­ver­ing through dis­ap­point­ment.  When I look back on my career I am thank­ful that bas­ket­ball taught me that at the end of pain is victory.
