RENO’S BASKETBALL DOJO

Jul

2012

VIA KOLO CHANNEL 8 RENO NV, @parkerstremmel

CLICK TO SEE VIDEO

Mike Atkinson is no stranger to basketball. The Galena high graduate has played
collegiately and professionally. Now, he’s training the next generation of
basketball stars – specifically, those at the University of Nevada.

“The relationship with the Wolf Pack – Emily is local, Olek and Keith Fuetsch
are local, as well,” said Atkinson. “We are also starting to get some of their
teammates in here. They want to get better on their own.”

Atkinson is the basketball performance director at Sierra Strength and Speed in
Reno. He’s seen an increase in players wanting to better themselves at his
“dojo.” One of them is current Wolf Pack women’s basketball forward Emily Burns.

“Over summer, right now, we don’t have a lot of time to work in the gym about
basketball specifically, so coming here gives me a chance to shoot around a work
on different moves and situations that i might see.”

Former Wolf Pack forward Olek Czyz credits Sierra Strength and Speed with
helping him become the player he is today.

“I feel like I became more agile,” said Czyz. “And also, I became more
versatile.”

It has helped Czyz land a spot on the Chicago Bulls NBA summer league team.

HESLIP’S 9 THREE POINTERS FOOTWORK: ATHLETIC BREAKDOWN

Mar
19
2012

9 Tre’s in The NCAA Tournament a testament to Footwork!

We all watch dozens of highlights and often miss the details that got us there.
Here is a quick lesson on shooting off the Catch by Baylor’s  Brady Heslip.
While he is not the most athletic player on his Baylor team his display of FW
and balance deserves the highest mark of basketball athleticism. Remeber most of
the work is done before you have the ball in your hands.

"Tre Goggles "

#1 (0:03)- OB Play-First make is a classical OB play for a teams best shooter.
 Off the botched play, he drops his hips pulls his R leg with his L foot squares
up and knocks it down.

Off the out of bounds Play FW= L, R (1,2 step)

#2 (0:05) Transition – Shooters running the floor with head turned eyes back at
the ball moving up floor, ball in the air feet in the air, finishes with
balance.

Three Pointer #2 Transition Three Pointer (two foot sink)

#3(0:08)- Step into your shot– The easiest look for Heslip all night, steps into
his shot off the sagging D.  Also displays his range when stepping into his
shot. Continue reading →

DOES YOUR GAME HAVE AN INVISIBLE CEILING?

Feb
27
2012

Outcome and Expectation

When we are young our sport environment bestows upon us certain beliefs and
expectations that may encourage or discourage our  personal growth in many
aspects of  life and sports. Our sport environment and genetic make up are major
contributors in achieving  elite athletic potential.While having Lebron’s genes
and training with professional trainers can make a huge contribution to your
success on the court, maybe the most important factor in your athletic growth
could be your personal beliefs.

Personal beliefs can be both positive or negative, arise from many sources and
eventually they can become your reality. As we attach a negative belief to a
certain experience like missing a jump shot we start to limit ourselves and
believe in the negative outcome as truth in our sub-conscious.

We must refocus our efforts as individuals back upon self reliance and  managing
personal expectations with realistic  and positive work ethic.

Dismantling limiting beliefs that put invisible ceilings on our own game by
positive expectations,passion and effort. Train to avoid the negative belief or
reaction as a form of self practice and re-shift focus to positive outcome.



Your Beliefs Boxing You IN

GET YOUR TIMING DOWN WITH “THIRTY THREE”

Feb
16
2012

“Thirty Three” Is a new spin on the classical basketball game “Tip it” . In the
original game of “Tip it” the objective is for each player to catch the ball
after a shot attempt from another player with both feet in the air and then
shoot it at the goal before landing. “Tip It” or “Tips” is a great game the only
issue with classical “Tip it” is that there is no defense which limits the
effectiveness for competition. Well that was the start and the creation of the
game that is now known as “Thirty Three”.

Played on a 10ft goal or even a mini hoop,“Thirty Three” is a great way to
improve, timing,anticipation and scoring off of different movements and angles
in the air. The game has quickly become a house favorite at Sierra Strength and
Speed for all our athletes not just basketball players. I guarantee that once
you play you will see why NBA players are using this to warm-up and let loose
and why every age group and skill level can play and develop new skill sets with
“Thirty Three”.

Objective:

To avoid pitfalls and opponents on your way to “33” points.


Rules:
1. Catch and release basketball in air
2. Must get to ball within two bounces
3. Must go in player order-established prior to game, often decided by last
games score.( Winner goes first)
4. On made shot in field, go to free shot line your choice:
Free Shot Line :FT 1pt,College 3pt=2pts,NBA=3pts (once you pick a line you must
stay for remainder of trip at line, not whole game) Continue reading →
