Working on L-cuts with Rob and Ryan. It’s a cut you'll do in basketball all the time. And being able to score off of it, will make you a better offensive threat
For the last part of our workout, we worked on using the jab jumper, an effective move that can get you open for a shot when a defender is pressuring you.

Scenes from my boys and girls skills clinics with Tridents BC during the midterm break🔱
Our very frist all girls skills clinic for beginners. We covered alot of different concepts to help the girls increase their confidence and skill level!
We had a great time at our Pop Up Clinic!
Got alot of reps in on various skills and finished with some 3v3
It’s not about your current skill level, but about the desire to get better. You’ll continue to progres if you understand that growth in basketball doesn’t happen overnight, but through consistent preparation and belief.
Had the pleasure of working out with my guys Robert Dunne of Spire Academy and Scott Reynolds of Stellazzurra Academy
The entire session was based on playing off of two feet!
Playing off of both enables you to stay balanced if you get a slight bump from a defender. It also allows you to use various pivots, giving you access to more shot options
Had the pleasure of working out with Isabel, where we worked on the low post rip and go.
After a quick reverse pivot and face up, the offensive player rips the ball low past the defender and finishes on the other side of the basket.
It's a great move to add to your face up game. There are many counters you can use from it, which allows you to keep defenders on their toes!
Here's the last part of my workout with Daniel—working on our jab jumpers.
It's a quick and simple move to get your shot off in the low or high post.
Read what the defense is giving you—if their hands are down or you want to create some space for your shot, use a jab to make them think!
Here's part 2 of my workout with Daniel—this time we're working out of the high post.
A quick rip and go and then the addition of the spin if the defense cuts you off are moves applicable for all positions on the court.
No need to stand a dribble when you can make a quick and efficient move to the basket, potentially getting an AND-1 in the process
