We all know that coaches and scouts will agree that there is almost nothing more important to them in recruiting than a player having tight handles.
If you can’t handle the basketball — then you’re in trouble. You will seriously hurt your chances of getting recruited.
And as a player myself who used to have terrible handles, I’ll tell you that they translate into other aspects of the game. For example, I would not be able to get off the best shots because I wasn’t able to get myself into position. I couldn’t easily drive to the basket — which would force me to take covered jump shots (which, of course, is not ideal).
It would make me a “pass first” player – and I don’t mean the good kind of passing, I mean panicked passes because I knew that I couldn’t do anything with the ball.
However, with the Effective Ball Handling Program, Alex showed me exactly what I needed to do to become a better ball handler, and on this page he showed me the 5 “hidden killers” that mess up most basketball players handles.
5 “Hidden Killers” that mess up your handles
Hidden Killer #1: Only Working on One Facet Of Ball Handling
Alex claims that there are way more than one or two ways to work on your handles — and that the key to getting better is to take a multi faceted approach. This will make it easier for you to adapt your handles to the majority of game time situations, instead of only being able to dribble in a few.
Hidden Killer #2: Using Bad Drills & Exercises
The saying goes “Practice Makes Perfect” – but that is not true. If you practice incorrectly, all you’re doing is setting yourself up for failure. You’ll end up mastering skills incorrectly, or even worse, mastering useless skills. The thing is, if there’s a DVD that says there are “101 drills” for you to master – that’s ridiculous. You don’t need to learn 101 drills, you just need a few that WORK. In the effective ball handling program, Alex took a huge list of drills and narrowed it down to an elite, select few drills that actually work and can provide the best results in the least amount of time. With EBH, you don’t need to figure out what works. Alex has already done the work for you.
Hidden Killer #3: Ignoring Training Progression
The most important factor in all training is progression. Meaning — increasing the difficulty, or making dynamic changes, to your workouts (be it vertical jump, gaining muscle, losing fat, etc.) over time. Instead of just jumping to the most advanced drills & exercises, which is counterproductive, you work your way up and are able to actually master skills MUCH faster.
Hidden Killer #4: You’re Working Too Hard
The truth is, your training is all about QUALITY, not quantity. You don’t need to spend 8 hours in the gym to get results. You just need to spend 60 minutes or less of doing high quality work. All you do when you spend hours and hours in the gym is set yourself up for overtraining — it’s not natural and your body will punish you for this. And again, we want to be as efficient with our time as possible – getting the best results in the least amount of time.
Hidden Killer #5: You’re Great in Practice, But Bad in Games
How many times do you hear about guys who always light people up in practice, but when it comes time to play an actual game, they flopped? It happens all the time, and it has to do with the WAY you practice. And fortunately, Alex shows you exactly how to avoid this problem of being a game-time flop with a simple trick in his program.
If you ignore these factors, you will be setting yourself up for a HUGE disappointment when you play next. It’s important to address all of these factors, and you can do so with Alex’s effective ball handling program. I highly recommend you check it out.
