This video with Chris Oliver shows you one of the best ways to combine decision training with skill development. And it's great for all age levels from youth to the NBA.
In fact, NBA coaches have been using this method...
After watching Chris Oliver present at a coaching clinic, it caused 50 year coaching veteran and former NBA coach of the year Del Harris to stand up and address the coaches attending. At the end, he said, “Nobody is teaching it (skill development and decision making) like that. That’s wonderful!”
During the game, you have to make a decision on every catch. It's not scripted and you don't know the outcome prior to each time you catch the ball. So shouldn't you train this way with your basketball drills?!?
This innovative Basketball Decision Training (BDT) method from Chris Oliver shows you exactly how to train this way... It combines decision training with shooting, passing, dribbling, lay ups, and counter moves with your basketball drills!
All you need is somebody to pass you the ball and provide decision cues. This can be a coach, trainer, parent, sibling, friend, guardian, or anybody else that can help.
This training is also a form of random practice. Research shows that random practice is one of the best ways to train because it usually transfers to better game performance!
If you'd like to learn Chris Oliver's entire Basketball Decision Training and Zero Seconds Skills Training system, you can reference his video and ebook set or attend his basketball skills camp for players. You can also observe the camp as a parent or coach to better learn this system.
