POST WORK

I've attached a video of a coaches clinic I attend years ago that really focussed on Post Work.  We spend so much time working on perimeter game, that sometimes I forget that building the global player requires post work too!

Ettore Messina is an Italian professional coach, currently the coach of CSKA Moscow. 

He offers some great drills to develop post skills.  An important point and concept I took from the session was his point about engaging the tall, maybe less than coordinated player on your team.  There are ways to help those players feel engaged and like they are contributing to the team.  Messina speaks to the importance of running the floor, rebounding, gathering, controlling your cylinder, finishing and free throws. 

This is a great 13 minute segment that will change your post drills.  Check it out!
