Maximum Skill Development – 5 Drills to Change Your Game with Coach Steve Masiello
DVD Review by Wes Kosel
Coach Steve Masiello and his Manhattan Jaspers gave Louisville all they could handle on Thursday. Steve Masiello, a former player and assistant coach for Rick Pitino, showed his tremendous coaching ability in a hard-fought match against his mentor. It’s too bad the Jaspers were matched with the #4 seed Cardinals, because they might have been able to pull the upset against a team that wasn’t as familiar with their style of play. No doubt Steve Masiello will have his Jaspers ready to bounce back next season!
In his DVD, “Maximum Skill Development – 5 Drills to Change Your Game with Coach Steve Masiello”, Coach Steve Masiello gives great insight on how to develop your offensive game. Steve Masiello provides tips and coaching points for all of the drills, and several of his Jasper players perform the drills at full-speed. Masiello is big on efficiency, and enforces this in all of his drills. Here is what you will find in the review:
