Coach ,

Elite guard play contributed in a major way to winning the championship a few years ago. 

Coach Drew organizes the Baylor Guard Development Workout into 8 different sections designed to help your players succeed on the court.

1.) Warm Up Shooting

2.) Commando Ball Handling

3.) 5 Spot Shooting

4.) Jab Step/Shot Fake Series

5.) Tracing the Arc

6.) “Get Open” Series

7.) 1 on 1 Moves

8.) 5 Spot Cool Down    

The warm-up shooting series is a way to help give a shooter confidence going into a workout. It is best to start inside/out; therefore, it will help build your confidence by seeing the ball go through the basket.

 Elbow to Elbow Jumpers

Baylor wants to be in attack mode in every move they do. The jab step/ shot fake series shooting allows a player to get multiple different shots in a drill. 

5 different shots in 5 different spots while covering the whole floor.

Baylor goes at a pace that mistakes are welcome. To get better there has to be uncomfort to create a comfort level. 

The jab step is a great way to get your defender leaning a certain direction to create an opportunity for a driving lane or open shot. It allows a player enough time to create separation to make a move.

The shot fake is one of the best tools used for an offensive player. If used, it can be a great addition to a players game to give more time for a shot or to draw a foul.

Jab Step/ Shot Fake Series:

Elbow to Elbow Jumpers

Shooters have to be able to get open to shoot at a high percentage. The L Cut, V Cut, & straight line cut are ways to allow an offensive player to create space to fire their shot. 

Basketball coaches always preach: 

“Do your work early”

Creating space to catch the basketball in areas where you’re in range is a must for a great shooter.
