This video is not the entirety of the workout but a warmup and skills work*
C3 Skills is back working with 5’10” 2029 point guard Max Cooper of Warner High School in South Dakota. We meet 2-3 days per week.
Areas of improvement:
Finishing layups at the rim—especially left hand.
Overall touch close to the hoop, in the lane.
Playing faster and more explosive. Max is a good athlete that can run and jump but he doesn’t always show it on the court.
Shooting on the move and in in-game scenarios.
Ball-handling on the move and continuing his dribble to translate to a pure point guard.
Development plan:
Max’s footwork on his shot has came a long ways. Recently he would bow out his right foot/leg and not square up, causing inconsistencies with his shot. That was fixed and he’s shooting much better and more consistent.
His right hand was also too far up on the ball, also causing inconsistencies with his shot. He’s learning to have his hand lower on the ball.
Exaggerating on dribbling harder and faster when practicing so his handle is quicker in games.
Three-point shooting consistency. Since he’s a smaller guard, having an elite three-point shot is a must. We will be progressing to improving his range as well.
Work left hand with ball-handling and passing. Incorporating left hand passing and left to right hand ratio with his dribble with skill work should be around 5:1.
