Become a more explosive player! (Part II)

In the first part we talked you about the importance of the strength and the flexibility to become more explosive on the court. Today, we're telling about the posture and techniques.
If you haven't read the first part yet, do it here.

The posture:

Posture is one of the most underrated points. When I talk about posture, I mean having optimal alignments to ease the transfer of power for sprinting, starting, stopping, jumping, etc. 

To give you an idea, here are some indicators of poor posture:

• Tight hip flexors.
• Rounded upper back.
• Rigid ankles.
• Weak core.
• Tight hamstrings.

If you have one of these problem, don't worry, it's easy to improve your posture. You only need to practice regular exercises.

 

Technique:

All we did until now is useless if you don't practice basketball regularly, and don't control the ball. Because no matter how fast you can run or how high you can jump, if you don't control the basics the ball will probably not follow you. To maximize your potential you need to:

Learn to shoot.

Master the lay up.

Improve your passes.

Perfect your dribble.

It's a really wide topic, that if we would to talk about everything we would never finish. Anyway we think it's enough for now. If you like, share it. ;)
