[KikiKayla1990]

Could I do this after my full workout,with my stretching and foam rolling?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@KikiKayla1990 Sure!

[subchen1]

can you use a bosu ball for balance drills?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@subchen1 Sure!

[sovy225]

If I do these in place of squats and deadlifts will that improve my core strength?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@sovy225 I don't recommend you use these to replace your strength exercises, but rather do them in addition to your strength exercises!

[10031992abcd]

@StrongerTeamDotCom can i still do some of these drills on my non lifting days?i incorporate these drills in my workouts...cause i'm thinking its counterproductive if i still do it on my non lifting days

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@10031992abcd I would just do them with your strength workouts... no need for overkill....

[mprice4owlathletics]

do you alternate feet with each balance drill? and how many reps of each drill?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@mprice4owlathletics Yes, you need to work both legs... no 'right' answer as far as number of reps... find what is challenging for YOU!

[FucikOff]

Hi, please can u tell me in what age i can start doing that with my kids (8-12)? Or this is only for full muscle developed youth and older.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@FucikOff You can absolutely do this with kids 8-12... with a basketball... not a medicine ball....

[hasanKG5]

i did these drills yesterday and i woke up with my hamstrings sore, is that whats suppose to happen

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@hasanKG5 Yes, most of these moves certainly work your hamstrings and backside!

[hasanKG5]

@StrongerTeamDotCom so it will be good to stretch after then?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@hasanKG5 Yes!

[WeiChen00]

so even if you can't dunk you won't be considered a bad bball player right?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@WeiChen00 That all depends on whether or not you are actually a good player? Dunking has NOTHING to do with it!

[joshyyposhyy4287]

i missed this song!!!. can you send me the song?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@joshyyposhyy4287 Email me after August 15th and I will gladly send you the song for free... Alan at Stronger Team dot com :)

[JanioFJr]

Can I do it with an ankle protection?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@JanioFJr That's up to YOU! But the whole point of these exercises is to strengthen your ankles... so that kind of defeats the purpose!

[GordonX5]

Good work to strengthen them weak ankles

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@GordonX5 Yes, these workouts are great for strengthening the ankles...

[BaLLeRAl05]

Can you do a video on core please?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@BaLLeRAl05 I already have! Check the video archive!

[BaLLeRAl05]

@StrongerTeamDotCom I have seen them except I dont use them for certain reasons. When are you going to do another one?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@BaLLeRAl05 Not any time soon.... sorry!

[asianrapper1000]

will this help with finishing moves such as up and unders?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@asianrapper1000 It will indirectly help, yes.

[tinybasket]

just did it in my dorm room without shoes (all but the passing balance drill at the end), intense! love your stuff alan, hope those nike camps were fun!

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@tinybasket Awesome! Good for you. Thanks for your kind words and support :)

[UltimateJB]

Would this be a good "no sneaker" workout?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@UltimateJB I could be... VERY challenging without shoes though!

[UltimateJB]

@StrongerTeamDotCom Would any of these exercises be possibly detrimental if done without sneakers?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@UltimateJB You can do them barefoot if you are careful and use good judgment...

[TheAllDayBaller]

Whats 'spatial awareness'?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@TheAllDayBaller The ability to control your body in space....

[ccjohnso0]

I like this stuff, good work!



[WeiChen00]

so this basically trains your ankle mobility, core and balance. the foundations of a bball player right?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@WeiChen00 Correct!

[metodjazbec]

great workout

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@metodjazbec Thanks!

[SMARTERTeamTraining]

Liking this clip. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@SMARTERTeamTraining My pleasure, thank you!

[YDub03]

how many reps should you do for each exercise?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@YDub03 Depends, no 'right' answer... go with what feels 'right' yet is challenging!

[wildballer]

How many of each drill did you do?



[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@wildballer Depends, no 'right' answer... go with what feels 'right' yet is challenging!

[ZekeSlamin]

This is good for Ankle Strengthening too.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@ZekeSlamin Yes, GREAT for strengthening the ankles... doing this barefoot is 10x harder too!

[basketballphile]

Good stuff, balance is underrated, really important especially to reach peak performance

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@basketballphile Agreed! 

[WeiChen00]

does core training help your balance to?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@WeiChen00 Yes, core training helps with EVERYTHING!

[WeiChen00]

@StrongerTeamDotCom i just tried these toady, boy it was work and it definitely felt it working.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@WeiChen00 Nice!

[ssshano24]

That looks hard.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@ssshano24 It is!
