Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

Calf raises are an essential basketball shooting drill, and performing them with proper form is key to developing the right basketball positions and movements. To do a proper calf raise, stand straight on your injured leg while holding on to something with your arm, such as a basketball pole or table. Raise up all the way slowly and come down just as slowly while maintaining balance and putting most of the weight towards the big toe. Performing this drill will help you build basketball-strengthening muscles that can improve your overall basketball game in no time!
