We're almost there! Tryouts are coming up quick and all the hardwork and dedication has led up to this moment! However, there are still a few days and every last bit of practice can only help! #OHoops always preaches #NoDaysOff and this is when it counts! In today's video #OHoopsProfessors Gerrod Trytten and Nick Trapp will give you an in depth look at stationary ball-handling and what specific things you can work on while in a stationary position. There are an endless amount of drills and workouts you can do... take these few home, practice them, rep them, perfect them, and be ready for tryouts! #Back2Hoops #Let'sBallLet'sGo

Today's session, the #OHoops Professors will focus on 1 specific move. The Killer Crossover! This is a counter to a basic drop between the legs move. With this move you will be able to change directions quickly while still protecting the ball. The goal is to make your defender believe you are going one direction with the ball and just as he attempts to cut you off, you change directions with an explosive crossover. Once learned correctly and repped to perfection this can be a very effective move. #Back2Hoops #Let'sBallLet'sGo

Back2Hoops Training

Today’s installment combines ball-handling with agility and footwork. Using a hard pound dribble protected by the body by keeping it to the side and adding in quick footwork will give you the tools to be an effective and controlled ball-handler.. OHoops Professor Gerrod Trytten — who recently set a record for NBA 3-pointers made in a minute — along with OHoops Professor Nick Trapp, take you through the fast step ladder and the hurdles. #Let'sBallLet'sGo

OHoops Quote of the Week

"The ONLY person that can stop you from doing what you want to do, or keep you from becoming who you want to become... is YOU!"

There will always be people in your life who tell you can't do something, or tell you that you won't make it. You will hear you're not big enough, not smart enough, waited too long, you're not in the right sport, you can't jump high enough, too short, too slow, too light; the reasons for not being able to do something will be endless. You only need one reason and one person to give you the passion for loving your dream, the motivation for working hard to reach your dream, and the satisfaction you get from accomplishing your dream... and that person is YOURSELF. You choose how hard you work. You decide how much effort you will put into being successful. You are in control of your own attitude and whether or not you look at things positively or negatively. Everything you want to do in life, comes down to whether or not you believe in yourself to do it! #OHoops
