Nike Basketball Warm-up: Reaction Drills

http://Shop.StrongerTeam.com - Here is a quick mix of a variety of basic reaction drills (using tennis balls) I had the players do at the 2008 Paul Pierce Nike Skills Academy in Los Angeles. These drills are great for a pre-workout warm-up because they force each player to focus and communicate. These drills also help improve hand / eye coordination and reaction... two important characteristics for basketball. At the time, Brandon Roy was the only NBA player there... but since then... Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozen, Tyreke Evans, and James Harden have all joined him!

Quick shout to S.K. for allowing me to use the track "Game Time."
