This journal is all about my road to mastering the game of basketball. Heres what you can expect from this journal:
-Updates every 4 weeks on if I met my goals for that month -Updates on new things I've added to training -Updates on successes and failures -Training tips -Program Reviews of every program I use
Here are all of my training indicators and where I'm at currently (keep in mind I tested after a 2 week break so my shooting was really bad): Shooting % on spot up 3s /100 46/100 Shooting /100 in 5x20 50/100 Superhandles ball handling rating 25 Bodyweight 105 lbs. 2 step vertical jump: 22 in. Pullups 2 Bench (not lifting yet) Back Squat (not lifting yet)
Goals for 11 months from now Spot up 3s 90/100 5x20 90/100 Superhandles Rating 80 Bodyweight 135 lbs. 2 Step VJ: 30 in. Pullups: 25 Bench: 180 lbs. Squat: 225 lbs.
I will set goals every 4 weeks on each of these areas and work hard to hit these goals. I will also have my goals for 1 year from now, for next basketball season. I will let you what my process goals (daily training) are and how I am reaching my training goals.
Here are all of my in game goals 10 ppg 5 apg More steals than turnovers
I will let you know if I am hitting these and what I am doing to make sure I do.
For now I will let you know that I am going to experiment with superhandles ap but I will probably add different shooting and game situation drills, however, I will probably always use the ball handling to an extent.
4 week goals: Spot up 3s 70/100 5x20 60/100 Handles Rating 30 Bodyweight 108 lbs. 2 step vj 24 in. Pullups 4
I will start lifting in 4 weeks. I have games on Fridays and Saturdays for the next few months but I am still training hard on non game days.

Finished testing my indicators! My goals were 70/100 spot up 3s 60/100 5x20 Superhandles Rating 30 2 step VJ 24 in. Weight 108 lbs. Pullups 4
I got
56/100 spot up 3s 54/100 in 5x20 Superhandles rating 37 2 step VJ 24 in. Weight 108lbs. Pullups 4
My shooting was not what I wanted it to be but my handles improved drastically with dh and i've been using pga minus the pick and roll workouts and using 2 sm workouts instead, and then doing 5x20 at the end. Just have to wait until I "break through" and my %s go way up. I've been scrimmaging a lot more as the season is coming up so I might just do the 3 pga workouts without sm but i scrimmage every chance I get. Here are my goals for next month
Spot up 3s 65/100 5x20 60/100 Handles Rating 40 2 step VJ 26 in. Weight 111 lbs. Pullups: 6 Bench: 70 lbs. 3x Squat: 100 lbs. 3x I am currently using VJB 2.0 with a few modifications 2x a week. Really need to get shooting and decision making in games better before games start.

Dominant (freak) Handles Review: Rating: 5/5
The results are rapid. Every module has a purpose and is very effective. I did 6th sense 2x and my passing off and strong hand is way better. Every time I do bball power the next day it feels like I could pound the ball through the floor. I would recommend any ball handler with a good base to use this. It really all translates to games because it teaches you how to dribbles with a purpose and doesn't have you doing weird drills that work solely on ball control and neglect teaching points and teaching you to dribble with a purpose. If you have decent handles I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you try this out. You will not be disappointed.

Quick Tip: Write your performance goals morning and night. These should be the goals that lead to your outcome goals. Ex. Win league MVP. Performance: Average 25 ppg, Average 8 apg, etc. Write now since I'm focusing on training they are the goals I post like all my training stuff. The only real "rules" are they lead you to your outcome goal and they have a date attached. Ex. I am averaging 25 ppg on March 1, 2014. Write these morning and night, also review your outcome goals and your process goals. Process goals are the how. Ex. I will perform 5 skill workouts a week from - to -. Then, every night after writing your goals, write everything you want to accomplish the next day (your knockout goals, that can be completed in 24 hours.) Then, the next day just follow the plan. This really helps me sooo much I am now always laser focused and executing. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I finally "broke through" and my jumper improve significantly. My release is even smoother now. Can't wait to test my shooting indicators i'm hoping for about 65/100 in 5x20.

1/14/14: Great Workout today. Basketball Power of Dominant Handles with Undersized finishing of PGA. Finished with 5x20 and jump roped. 2 things that help your game more than you would think-- Jump Roping and Foam Rolling. Ever since I started writing my goals out I started training way harder but I was less sore because I also started to foam roll and stretch before bed. Jump roping after skill work helps with soreness, and makes you quicker and more conditioned. Try it out.

I got hurt at the game and its more serious than I thought. Cracked or Fractured rib so i'm taking some days off its been 8 weeks going hard normally I would take a break after 12 but this is fine. May not hit some of my indicators due to this but I still think I can hit most of them. I'm taking this time to work on my nutrition, iq. ankle strength, flexibility and mobility, as well as my knowledge (reading a lot) I honestly am not mad that I'm hurt because I'm looking at what I can do now and capitalizing it rather than focusing on what I can't.

That's too bad you got hurt, glad you're taking the opportunity to stay productive. How's your lifting been? Getting stronger consistently?

Yeah. I wasted my time and energy lifting and not eating enough the first few week I started (before I made this journal) but I haven't made that mistake since. I am gaining weight and strength and its exciting because people have told me i'm skinny and weak all my life but in a few months I will be average and a few month after that i'll be a freak!

Sorry to burst ur bubble mate but it doesn't just happen overnight. I'm getting really into the weights and serious about weight training to improve athleticism. You will make good gains but don't be disheartened if it's not what you expect. I'm considering sports science as an option at uni so I'm researching now about exercise science reading books studies etc. if you post ur lifts and or lifting videos me and guntoonami will help u out. I think we are the only people that lift seriously on the forum. Your progress will slow just keep going when it does. What program are you doing? I'm dOing starting strength.

I didnt say it happens overnight. When your beginning gains come pretty quickly. Gaining 3 pounds a month in 3 months I'll be 120 which is pretty average. A few month after that I'll be 130 lbs of muscle. Which definitely above average for my age and height
