All-Conference Post Workout by Erick Blasing

Depending on your state and your contact regulations, it is vital to have good summer workouts put together for your players to improve with the team and in their own individual workouts. With most high school players, the summer time is a juggling act of work, family, and multiple sports or activities.

In putting together my Gym Rat Program, I tried to give kids workouts that they could do alone or with a partner. These workouts were also designed to challenge them while being time efficient. During my second season, I created the Gym Rat Series and two levels – All-Conference & All-American. I hope that sharing these will help you as you prepare for the Fall workouts and maybe start to improve your summer plans for 2016.

I have included today the All-Conference Post Workout. I designed and compiled this with the average high school player in mind. I will share the All-American workout for those over-achievers soon. Skill development is a necessary component of any high school program. I think that you will love some of the drills made especially for post players.

The workout will lead players from ball handling and dribble moves to simple warm-ups like the Mikan Drill to actual post moves that you would use in a game setting. The main workout can be completed in 60 minutes and would include a minimum of 270 makes. As with all individual workouts, this can be altered to fit time and schedule.

Enjoy and remember that you may be the only person able to make a positive impact in your players lives. Take advantage of this underrated opportunity to impact lives.
