  • Explosively fire med ball into wall, obtaining full extension with arms and hands
  • Catch ball at chest; immediately throw it again
  • Repeat in continuous fashion for specified reps

Sets/Reps: 1x12, 1x10
Coaching Points: Lock out back leg by firing glute // Bend front knee slightly

Phillips: This incorporates a little more power, but he’s using all of his stabilizers to stay in a split stance. You’re catching [the ball] in the same spot and throwing it as hard as you can against the wall. The chest pass is a basic basketball movement, so Steve can use the same follow-through movement he would on a chest pass. This also helps him [to be] be able to catch a pass from a teammate.
