From the pre-season agility, conditioning and weight training, to offensive and defensive skill development, this DVD features the complete Florida Gator pre-season program. Filmed on location at the University of Florida during actual practices, two-time National Championship Coach Billy Donovan provides a "live" look inside the Florida Gator Basketball program.

This thorough program is designed to have athletes prepared for the rigors and demands of the upcoming season.

Agility and Conditioning Workout (Disc 1)
Florida Gator Strength and Conditioning Coach Preston Greene delivers a comprehensive dynamic stretching and warm-up segment that incorporates the lane running drill and an intense agility ladder workout that takes players directly into defensive slides.

Players are taken through various close-out and defensive footwork drills designed to improve the athlete's ability to force, pressure and contain the basketball. These drills require physical and mental toughness and stamina.

Coach Greene wraps up the conditioning portion by taking two Gator players through an intense weight training session that features 10 exercises performed with maximum effort and pace.

Perimeter and Post Development (Disc 2)
Coach Donovan takes the floor and leads his players through a fast paced series of shooting and attacking drills. Donovan starts with the Gator guards, as they perform transition shooting drills and dribble moves. He also demonstrates his "shoot and move" series where he emphasizes quickly getting set up to shoot by beating the ball to various spots on the floor.

Donovan delivers the same drill intensity with the post players as he progresses from backboard tips and Mikan drills to various 1-on-1 catch and score drills. Utilizing heavy basketballs and toss-backs, Donovan forces players to compete in each competitive drill. This exhaustive post workout concludes with game-like pick-and-roll and live 2-on-2 post up drills.

What makes this All Access skill development DVD unique is that Donovan provides extensive game highlight footage in between drills demonstrating the relevance of each competitive drill.

Individual Defense (Disc 3)
Donovan explains and demonstrates individual defense as he works in groups of two and four players, working first with the perimeter players and then the post players. Donovan covers all areas of defense ranging from stance and slide technique to help and exchange and ball screen responsibilities. He places emphasis on discouraging the drive, yet taking away the three point shot in all of his competitive defense drills. Donovan adds his competitive twist to learning how to handle screens by incorporating 2-on-2 live as players learn to defend down screens and back screens. He concludes the defensive segment by teaching how to defend the most prevalent play in the game, the ball screen.

Uncover the basketball drills and techniques that have taken the Florida Gators to the NCAA championship platform and sent many Gator players to the NBA.

Michael Bradley has coached for over twenty years at the highest level of college athletics, training athletes at institutions including Stanford University, the University of Miami, and the United States Military Academy.

In Volume I of this strength training DVD series, Coach Bradley explains the theory of high intensity strength training, a system of training that integrates knowledge from the fields of physiology, biology, and physics to create reproducible results for all athletes. He also teaches the applications of the theory in the way he trains the Florida State basketball team.

Bradley's goal is getting results from strength training. Strength is not a skill, but working hard and developing strength is. The work ethic shown in his strength program correlates with the hard work players put in on the court to improve their game. The major point of emphasis is learning to train at the right intensity level.

If players are not training intensely enough they will not produce the best results from their training. Bradley is able to maximize their effort and greatly improve their strength in shorter workouts by demanding intense effort and focus from his players.

By constantly tracking progress and focusing on the perfect repetition, athletes are able to show strength increases workout to workout. Bradley explains how to get the absolute most out of your players using high intensity strength training techniques.

If you need a foundation for your strength and conditioning program or simply just need to perfect the structure, this DVD will teach you the philosophical framework of an extremely successful Division I program.

Strength training and conditioning are an integral part of a great basketball team. By developing strength and muscle off the court, players can maximize their performance and reduce their risk of injury on the court.

In this basketball DVD, Michael Bradley takes you into the weight room to see the methods used in his high intensity strength training program. He walks you through the techniques and terminology of the proper ways to teach these protocols while presenting enumerable coaching points on extracting effort, coaching repetitions, equipment setup, use and design. This DVD addresses three distinct topics.

Pre-Exhaust
In the first segment, Coach Bradley explains a powerful training technique called Pre-Exhaust. This protocol trains around the weak link of an exercise in order to train the targeted muscles more intensely. By pre-fatiguing certain muscles, it creates a greater training intensity on less used muscles in compound joint exercise. This is such a powerful tool that Bradley says it is used in 30-40% of their routines.

Protocols
This segment focuses on advanced protocols that can be used to create intensity and variety in your routines. Topics addressed are cadence lifting and super slow or low momentum training, to both increase intensity and reduce force levels. These high tension, controlled repetitions are a great technique to train athletes who are coming off of injuries to get them stronger without rushing them back too quickly. He also demonstrates the even more powerful negative only training and several of its variations, but he advises that only coaches who are very experienced and trained use these techniques in large measures.

Knee Tendonitis
In the third segment he focuses on the knee, one of the most important joints to a basketball player. By working to strengthen the joint as well as the quadriceps, a player has a greater range of motion and a reduced likelihood of severe knee injury. He also addresses tendonitis, a common injury in basketball players. Coach Bradley teaches several protocols to strengthen the knee and muscles in this inflamed condition while minimizing the pain of the injury.

In this DVD, Coach Bradley builds upon the philosophical details of high intensity strength training presented in Volume 1 and the training protocols presented in Volume 2 to present ideas and the "nuts and bolts" of how to implement a successful strength and condition program.

Supervision and motivation are the biggest factors in the success of a training program. Florida State basketball players are coached on every repetition of each exercise. In addition, Coach Bradley teaches the athletes the art of strength coaching and the science of strength training, so that they can further grasp expectations and apply it later in life.

It is the responsibility of the strength coach to create an environment that makes the players want to train. An effective coach addresses the mental component of strength training by having players in a positive state of mind as soon as they step in the weight room.

The driving factor behind all training at Florida State basketball is the tracking and recording of progression. This close monitoring ensures that the players are getting stronger each day. It also minimizes overtraining, allowing the players to adapt and grow stronger while preventing injuries and avoiding unnecessary extra fatigue.

Progression is not the only topic discussed in this video. Coach Bradley gives in depth analysis of the following topics:

• Intensity
• Effort
• Technique
• Program Organization
• Equipment
• The Art of Strength Coaching

If your team does not have a weight room or sufficient workout equipment, or if you are looking for an advanced training method to increase the intensity of your workouts, this DVD is perfect for you.

Florida State Strength and Conditioning Coach Michael Bradley demonstrates his successful manual resistance program, which greatly enhances your strength and requires very little equipment. In the second segment, you will see metabolic conditioning, a legendary part of Florida State Basketball's pre-season training. In the final segment, Coach Bradley addresses special considerations for training the important and vulnerable ankle and lower leg.

Manual Resistance Training
Manual resistance training, or partner assisted exercise, is a method of training in which the "spotter" is the one applying the resistance to the person training. This allows any team to train without equipment. Coach Bradley addresses the many subtleties and coaching points that make this a superior technique when applied properly, and a great way to add variety to your workouts. This type of training is not only great for improving strength, but it instills team values in the athletes by requiring constant coaching and communication between the lifter and the spotter.

Metabolic Conditioning
There is cardiovascular fitness and strength, but there is also a third level of training called "metabolic conditioning." In this extremely intense workout, Bradley takes a player through a strength training workout and a conditioning session combined. The routine is such that the athlete will perform ten strength training exercises interspersed with ten sprints in an 18 to 24 minute period. While viewing this brutally tough workout, keep in mind that all the fundamentals of high intensity strength training must be ingrained in your players beforehand. Metabolic conditioning will only work with a fairly rapid pace, all out sets, and controlled reps. This is the highest level of physical training, and is a great workout for any team that has time restraints; it builds strength, cardiovascular fitness, and metabolic conditioning in one session. Metabolic conditioning should only be used by athletes who are highly trained.

The Ankle and Lower Leg
In the third segment he focuses on the ankle, one of the most injured joints of basketball players. By working to strengthen the joint as well as the lower leg muscles, a player is more resilient to injury and capable of a faster recovery if hurt. Some unique and practical approaches to training this often overlooked part of the body are presented.

In this in-depth look into the Duke's Men's Basketball program, Coach Mike Krzyzewski and staff take you through a day in the life of a Blue Devil.

In the first segment of this series, Associate Head Coaches Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski break down the perimeter and big guys with individual skill work focusing on fundamentals and principles of Duke Basketball.

Coach K takes the court and discusses early season goals and how his practice is designed. Throughout the practice, Krzyzewski explains how he chooses drills and how they translate into accomplishing team goals. After the practice, the Associate Head Coaches hold a Q&A session. Listen in as they discuss their ball-screen defense, zone offense, scouting philosophy and more!

Individual Workouts
Coach Wojciechowski begins the workouts warming-up the post players with defensive fundamental drills. After the warm-ups they jump straight into physical drills to defend the post, counter baseline drives, and finishing off possessions with rebounding.

On the offensive side of the ball they work on finishing at the rim, playing off penetration, and ball-screen situations that replicate game-situations.

Coach Collins takes the perimeter players onto the court warming them up with ball-handling and fundamental passing drills. After the warm-up they work in the full-court on developing good ball pressure and ball-handling ability. On offense, they work on spacing, surveying the court, and attacking the basket. Within all of their drills they stay true to their principles and work on the situations that they will see in live situations.

Practice
Coach K begins practice working on fundamentals requiring constant communication. See how they build from 3-on-0 and 5-on-0 weaves into both 2-on-1 and 3-on-2 situations. Watch the Blue Devils transition from 5-on-0 down the court and come back into their half-court offense against a set man-to-man defense.

Moving on to the defensive side of the ball, they begin working on 5-on-4 close outs and also 5-on-5 "change." Coach K builds his defensive pressure by demonstrating his full-court and three-quarter court presses and traps ("41", "42", "32" and "31 White") to pick-up the tempo.

Coach K then demonstrates the different offensive sets they use to overload the court against the 2-3, 3-2, and 1-2-2 zones. These sets provide reads for the players to have multiple options for lay-ups and wide-open three point shots.

Q&A Session
Collins and Wojciechowski run the session to answer any question about Duke's philosophy and what was demonstrated in both the practice and workouts. They answer questions regarding their ball-screen defense and how they attack both middle-screen & rolls and side-screen & rolls. Collins details Duke's defensive numbering system including the presses and traps that were covered in the practice. Both Collins and Wojciechowski break down baseline and sideline out of bounds plays giving you thirteen quick hitters from special situations.

See what it takes to build a gold medal-winning basketball team on and off the basketball court.

In this first-of-its-kind DVD series, you will see how Don Showalter and staff prepare the Developmental National Team for its Gold Medal run in the 2011 FIBA U16 Championship in Cancun, Mexico. Get sideline and classroom access as Coach Showalter and staff narrow down the 27 players of the Developmental National Team to a roster of 12. Sit in on team meetings, practices and film study showing you what makes USA one of the elite competing basketball countries in the world.

Individual Breakdown
The foundation of USA basketball is the daily fundamentals taught during individual post and perimeter breakdowns. Throughout these practice sessions the guards and big guys work on the designated actions of the offense. The staff teaches proper technique of how to use the screen to attack the "kill area" of the floor, keeping the defender off the line of the ball, and how to attack an aggressive hedge by the defense.

Perimeter players are run through a series of chair and shooting drills, while the post players work on their drop step series, jump hooks and face up series while attacking the basket with aggressiveness. They also are drilled on flashing to the high post and working on a series of moves to enable them to score close the basket.

Transition Offense & Offensive Drills
Coach Showalter focuses on getting the players to play hard on every possession and matching the incredible talent they possess with effort and drive to succeed at the highest of levels. The "Hawkeye Shooting" drill teaches the players how to run the floor, creates shots for everyone, emphasizes communication amongst the players, and reinforces the importance of passing the ball. In the "3-Man Fast break" and "Fast Break Cycle Work", Showalter prepares the players both physically and mentally by striving for goals to reach during the drills and recollection of actions that are called out by the staff.

Man-to-Man: "20-Offense"
Out of a 1-4 High Set, the USA Team utilizes wing pick & roll action to attack the "kill area" of the floor. Coach Showalter covers the basic "20-Offense" and the reads that the players must make coming off of the ball screens. Alongside the offense are three separate plays out of the 1-4 High Set; including similar actions that allow for post-up opportunities, staggered screens, and false action to occupy the defense. On the floor, you will see the team build their man-to-man offense in two separate scrimmages as the offense begins to unfold.

Defensive Drills and Press Defense
The USA coaching staff looks for players to separate themselves from the pack on the defensive end and the drills demonstrated showcase exactly that. In these practice sessions, the technique and strategy used to defend ball-screens, down screens, and flex screens are covered and drilled in a 4-on-4 Shell Drill. The "Texas Sidelines" drill shows you how Showalter prepares his players for building the 2-2-1 Press with their "3-Man Run and Slide Drill" and the "4-Man Run and Trap Drill." Coach Jones and Coach Gray cover the rotations and responsibilities of each position in the team meeting with the players before they break it down on the court. Throughout these practices the coaching staff makes adjustments to the trap based on personnel to increase ball-pressure and changing the positioning of the 2-2-1 Press.

In this All-Access DVD set you see exactly why the USA Development National Team was able to capture the Gold Medal in Mexico. Strenuous practices that demand a great deal from the players both physically and mentally from beginning to end create a winning culture and chemistry among the players and staff!
