The players that want to excel will be trained to make split second decisions. Coach Baker will provide the tools needed for your team to improve their decision making and basketball IQ. Coach Ganon Baker is one of the most innovative basketball skill development coaches in the world. Your team will learn how to challenge a player through an intense workout to focus and execute details and read the defense.

Coach Baker will talk about his core beliefs and discuss what is the biggest divider from one player to another is their ability to make decisions. The Ganon Baker Basketball IQ Development Drills will address this theory.

I love the concept of attacking the hand. He will talk about the four kinds of floaters and this drill will teach patience, control and explosiveness. Reading two defenders is another concept that will show ball control, explosion, and competitive elements that make it where your player must read the closeout and respond correctly.
