Basketball Training I

RE, a client who plays D1 college ball is home for the summer. So she will be training with me until she goes back to school. She got back in early June and has trained infrequently throughout month. Basically she is in the middle of her general off -season and has been training with her team until she came home. Mainly, we will be getting RE stronger. We will also address some weaknesses she feels she has (weak ankles for one). So from time to time, I will update everyone on her progress. RE is a stud ball player. She is a pleasure to work with as she possesses a ruthless work ethic; she ain't scared of anything! Perhaps more importantly, she is a great person too. Which makes my job that much easier (and fun).

Warm-ups: foam rolling, tennis ball rolling, ankle mobility, leg swings, split squats, lateral squats, TKEs, X-band walk, kneeling RF/ TFL stretch and seated leg cross. (Warm-ups will change a bit as we tailor them to RE).
