Under the Microscope: Dissecting the Art of Basketball Coleman Ayers, Yosef Yishak

In this episode, Tyler Leclerc of TJL Training joined us to talk about how we can manipulate the training environment to optimize our results. The language we use, visuals we give, and much more are absolutely instrumental for how we coach players, so this was a fantastic conversation. Follow Tyler on IG: @tjltraining.

As a trainer, coach or role model figure, it's imperative that you recognize the responsibility you possess in crafting the character of the players that you work with. In this episode we dive deep into how to build these relationships and why they're so important. We give personal anecdotes and our 2 cents on how to go about being a positive impact on the players that entrust you with their time.

The difference is night and day. For us, within the first five minutes of meeting a player, we can tell if they're on track to be a professional hooper. Once you get to that level, it's literally a job. So you have to carry yourself accordingly if you want to reach that level.

Music can have such a profound effect on so many things in life, and that includes our training as basketball players. If you're looking for a "yes" or "no" answer here, you won't get one. But you'll get a very deep understanding of how music can alter our training for better or worse, when we may want to use it, when we may not want to use it, and more.

We all want to have that competitive edge over our competition so we're always looking for ways to challenge ourselves in our training. When we do that, we look towards some 'external tools' to assist us; such as tennis balls, cones, heavy balls, etc. Listen to our thoughts about some of the most common ones that we've heard of and seen being used. We also go into the science of the application of these tools so tune in to make sure you're using these tools correctly!
