Post Improvement for Junior High - 2007/09/19 17:36
I am a Junior High Coach in Southern Ohio. I am 22 years old and am entering my 4th year coaching.
I have one player on my team that I am kind of in a limbo with on deciding how I want to work with him. We have been holding open gyms and individual workouts for 3 weeks now.
The player in question is entering 7th grade and he is 6'3" and around 200 lbs. He is a monster of a young man. He is very coachable and has been showing some athletic ability in the last few weeks that we hadnt seen from him before.
Anyways the problem is, he is a special education student. He is a good kid and very coachable. He is smart enough to understand things, but it takes a little while for it to sink in. I am just worried about overloading him.
I have 4 things that I am wanting to stress this year.
1. Left hand (he doesnt use it much as all now)
2. Drop Step or Basic Spin
3. Keeping Ball High on Offensive Rebounds, and going straight back up.
4. Keep Ball High and Turn and Outlet on Defensive Rebounds.
Any information of input would be great. I have never really had a true post player that was willing to learn and get better before. So if anyone has anything they think I should change or would like to add please let me know.
