@AmIshoBaraka is there any way I can get my hands on you and Vanessa Hill’s ‘So Many Feelings’ album?

Great example of a natural constraint leading to profound results.

Instead of lifting like bodybuilders, trying to grow muscles for aesthetic purposes, surfers’ aesthetics are a product of the nature of activity they participate in.

When the human body is pushed to perform a full-body activity often, the beautiful aesthetics reveal themselves.

How do you play defense when this is a foul? When people say the game has tilted too far to the offense...

[Caleb R. Graves @coachgravesbb]

@CoachCCL This article is so good. Love the detailed research!

Bonus...if you're still reading. Line Dribble 1-on-1 could be part of a warm-up while still accomplishing basketball related skills and preparing for basketball related movement.

[Caleb R. Graves @coachgravesbb]

@BBallImmersion Line Dribble 1-on-1 is a great mix drill because of how it develops key on ball offensive and defensive skills. The great part is it takes almost no time to introduce. See thread 🧵

What is the Snap Shuffle?
📍 Short and quick shuffle with a smaller gait cycle
📍 Prevents the defender from overextending

[Caleb R. Graves @coachgravesbb]

@brianmccormick @ClarenceGaines2 Yep, here is Spo's direct quote, "“That’s the only place it could have bounced to hurt us. I thought we had a lot of things covered on that play and sometimes things just don’t break your way.” Spo didn't lament boxing out at all.

[Caleb R. Graves @coachgravesbb]

A defender is not something to add to make a shooting drill harder; the defender fundamentally alters the skill. @brianmccormick Such a profound statement here.

[Caleb R. Graves @coachgravesbb]

@sperfslagekyle No doubt about it! Blippi out here teaching my son about tools. The other day he goes, "I want a cordless drill." 🤣🤣

Staggered ball screen followed by a pindown for the first screener who pops to the corner.

The second screener slips out early and brushes the first screener forcing his defender to help. This sets up the pindown.

[Caleb R. Graves @coachgravesbb]

It's not easy to beat pressure. But it doesn't have to be as hard as we often make it. 

Try these 4 things:
(1) Make decisive moves
(2) Come to crisp, sharp stops
(3) Throw short, snappy passes 
(4) Run quickly wherever you go

When looking to develop the most robust athletes possible, crawling movements should be a cornerstone of training—especially in the training for youth athletic development. https://t.co/n34SMImEni via @SimpliFaster
