2021 AAU Offense
PerformanceMax Basketball Training - Wisconsin
by PMax Basketball
2y ago
Can we score in transition? On a miss, we want to secure possession and then get the ball advanced up the floor as quickly as possible. Whether that be with a “pitch ahead” (same-side pass up the floor), “pitch across” (opposite-side pass up floor), or with the dribble, we are encouraging our players to get the ball up the floor and put immediate pressure on the defense. This pace can only be set if our players without the ball are willing to sprint. If our players are willing to sprint, we will not only get lay-ups, open threes, and early advantages, we will also give ourselves the best oppor ..read more

Simple & Easy are not One in the Same

With the ever-growing access to information it’s reasonable to fall into the trap of thinking that we aren’t doing enough or that we don’t know enough. Players are subliminally tweeted at and their feeds are cluttered with various people posting fancy moves, “new” exercises, long lists of tips, tricks, and services selling exposure. It’s overwhelming and everyone can certainly become victim to believing that we are falling behind the eight ball in a massively complex world. I’m writing to remind players and parents (coaches and myself too) that things are actually a lot simpler than they may s ..read more

Conceptual Offense Pt. 2 Implementation
PerformanceMax Basketball Training - Wisconsin
by PMax Basketball
3y ago
This post is geared toward the actual installation and implementation of a conceptual offense. The previous blog post outlined the guiding principles and more specific actions within our offense. How We Teach When implementing our offense or specific pieces of our offense, we subscribe to the Whole-Part-Whole Method. We start with the whole where we will introduce our spacing, terminology, and certain concepts through video clips or 5 v 0 skeleton offense. There isn’t a ton of time spent in the initial “whole” phase, it’s mostly an introduction to paint a picture and allow players to see ..read more

Individual Roles & Responsibilities on a Team
PerformanceMax Basketball Training - Wisconsin
by PMax Basketball
4y ago
As the basketball season kicks into full gear, players have and will continue to take on different roles and responsibilities within a team. Whether or not we agree with a given role or the responsibilities we have been assigned, learning opportunities are always present. On a personal level, I have been the best player on teams, a starter while being a 3rd or 4th option, a guy who both plays coming off the bench or was on the fringe of a rotation. I’ve also been someone who didn’t see the floor unless it was a blow-out. Each role taught me something different and has given me incredible persp ..read more

Change of Pace
PerformanceMax Basketball Training - Wisconsin
by PMax Basketball
4y ago
To make your fast faster, make your slow slower. I say this to kids in basketball workouts to emphasize change of pace. The best players in the game of basketball aren’t always sprinting around the court or performing every movement at full speed. Great players understand that going slow & changing tempos can make a quick or full speed burst that much more effective. This is a concept that has meaning in everyday life too. The urge and way of life for most of us is to always be on the go. We believe there’s no time for slow- busyness & activity consumes our society, but just like in ba ..read more

“Quick Hitters” for Summer Workouts

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” The same principle applies to your summer workouts or even a general work-day. If you have an hour set aside to work on your game, take the first 10 minutes to create a plan to execute. Ten minutes of writing out a plan can have a HUGE effect on the quality & intensity of your workout. Hard work does things for you. Smart work coupled with hard work does superior things for you. There will be a lot of messages regarding hard work all summer, and that’s important, but it’s ..read more

Balancing Hard & Smart Work
PerformanceMax Basketball Training - Wisconsin
by PMax Basketball
4y ago
“When you’re not practicing someone else is getting better.” “Open Gym= Optional, Skills Workouts= Optional, Playing Time Next Year= Optional.” “___ % of high school players play college basketball, ___% make 500 shots a day.” My social media timeline is constantly filled up with quotes similar to this by coaches trying to promote a culture of hard work within their programs. I get it and I’m more than aware that a culture of hard work is vital for team success. However, some of the stuff I often see is a poor attempt to motivate kids that is also factually incorrect. Sadly, the result of th ..read more
