A friend of mine, Andrew Darqui, trains athletes at the Memorial Sports Center in Pembroke Pines, FL. He is the man when it come to trying out new things (of course he's already pretty damn good with the normal stuff too!). Anyways, one of his athletes has been having to lift with his high school football team, leaving Andrew with some limits as to what they could do in their private training sessions. So, he got really creative, put together a bunch of reactionary-reactive type drills and make a sick video of it all.
Now, just remember, as cool as this stuff is and as cool as it looks, it isn't the optimal type of training for almost any athlete, if it's the bulk of what you're doing. But in a certain circumstance (they can't lift), A-Darq got really creative with it, and put together a system that will yield results and not interfere with his athlete's previous commitments. Not an ideal situation, but a damn good solution. And if you want to be a good coach, you'd have better be an awesome problem solver.
...a certified personal trainer, a performance enhancement coach for athletes of all levels and interests, a basketball skill instructor and (now that I can say it) a published author. As a former college basketball player, I understand what it takes to get results, even at the highest level. I have been through thousands of hours of studying books, articles, DVD's and even pod-casts to increase my knowledge base and, in turn, be able to train myself and others to be the absolute best they can be. I am currently available on a very limited basis to train clients privately. Feel free to e-mail me at AlexMaroko@gmail.com and I will be sure to get back to you. Take care and train hard.
