The IDEAL Basketball Training Schedule 🗓 | Train Smart!

This is the training template that I've used for a few years now with my athletes, and it's worked its magic. Obviously, it's still super important to change this up a bit depending on your resources and needs as an athlete, but this is pretty fool-proof to seeing big results with your training!

Really good schedule... If someone can do nothing else than play basketball, but most guys also have to study or to work during the day

Thanks man. Spoke with my kids in post-season interviews about these same subjects. Sharing this on twitter.

How do you balance weights, skills, agility, and plyos between days?

[jamienau]

Also curious how you would adjust this schedule in season or for boys that are playing club ball 8-10 months a year? This would be 2 team practices a week and games a couple weekends a month.

hmmmm... this video popped up after me thinking about my schedule.
BEEN LOTS OF HELP THANKS :)

How do you adjust this for athletes who are constantly playing AAU and have 1-2 practices and 1-2 Games a week? Or do you educate them out of that much AAU?

good video man. Could you ask me a question? I was thinking of fitting plyos into my routine, how do you think it would be a good fit?
Monday: Upper Body
Tuesday: Lower Body
Wednesday: Mobility and shooting session
Thursday: Upper Body
Friday: Lower Body
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Mobility and shooting session
On upper body days in basketball training I do a more resistance oriented workout, sprints and trampoline, and on lower body days I focus more on skills, dribbling, shooting
Where do you recommend putting the plyos?

This is crazy giving this out for free

[berserkerkay]

Id definitely be down to do this but the only problem is finding training partners

You didn’t talk about aerobic conditioning at all? I think it’s a common huge mistake to not run in zone2 for basketball. Iverson was even clocked at a 4minute and something second mile. Some of the best college/NBA players do 45min at 65-74% bpm every other day on top of their normal training. Jordan has even said aerobic conditioning is important.

Hello coach 👋 thank you for the content. I have a question, why are there 2 upper body training days?

[TURTLEoooo]

I have 9 months to go from being garbage in a middle school of 75 per grade to making a freshmen team out of a class of 1000. Wish me luck. (I’ll update in November)

What is the downside of pushing yourself to the limit every day if you can still feel refreshed the next day

[thuglifeinc]

Can anyone provide a sample routine for each day?

[sambro]

Do you think longer skill sessions are a good idea? Also are you factoring warmup in your recommended time estimates?

[Armandytalks]

Yo I love your videos bro!! Can u do a breakdown on Jamal Murray please? He’s literally the face of crafty basketball rn

[Glitch-Jams]

Honestly, training 6 days a week is not reasonable. You would have to deload on the 3rd week in order for your body to fully recover and adapt to the stimulus. The reason why is this:

When you train, your muscles take about 48-72 hours to recover. Your joints take longer (about a week). However, your central nervous system (which is your CNS), that takes longer to recover (about 1-2 weeks, or even longer depending on the training).

I would recommend that you do 2-a-days for 4 days a week where you lift weights (upper-lower split 4 days a week) in the morning and do your basketball training in the evening. With proper nutrition in place (a balanced meal 1-2 hours before & 1-2 hours after lifting then some fruits and vegetables 1 hour before your basketball workout, then another meal after basketball), you can do this 4 week 2-a-day for up to 4 weeks before you deload. I recommend not doing anything on the deload in order for your body to adapt and fully recover.
