Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

Watch basketball players, and you’ll note their impressive ability to move the basketball with ease. This skill comes from constantly working on drills like a body orbit — where they move the basketball around their head, body, and knees as quickly as possible. This drill not only helps basketball players build control of the basketball but also teaches them how to change direction quickly every 5-6 seconds. It’s an important skill that all serious basketball players should focus on when training for their sport.
