Slappin’ Glass is joined this week by Coaches Drew Dunlop and Jake Grossmann, Co-Founders of one of the best basketball and performance training facilities, The Pro Lane. The group dive into the interesting areas of growth environments, mid-season drill tweaks, and talk dealing with failure and myths of shooting during the always fun “Start, Sub, or Sit?!”
Inside the Episode
It was another terrific week on the podcast as we dove headfirst into the areas of skill acquisition and drill design with two of the best in the business in Coaches Drew Dunlop and Jake Grossmann, co-founders of the training facilities, The Pro Lane. Both have experience working with players from the professional to amatuer levels and bring a fresh and level-headed perspective to the trade. In the episode we visit the topics of:
- Creating Growth Environments: We begin the conversation by discussing Coach Dunlop and Grossmann’s process in creating training environments where high level learning and growth takes place. We highlight “Burst Concepts”, layering decisions making, and more.
- Mid-Season Warm Up Drills: Within our discussion on creating these great learning environments we also talk about how coaches can take some of those concepts and implement them into warm-up drills. Great ideas in this section from them both on how small tweaks can be made to improve drill design.
- Myths of Shooting Form: During “Start, Sub, or Sit?!” we inquire about some of the biggest myths when it comes to teaching proper shooting form. In it we explore elbow placement, footwork, and creating a solid base.
- Pro Lane PnR Series: As part of our SG Ventures Project, we previously collaborated with Drew and Jake on a three-part video breakdown on the PnR Reject, the Hostage Dribble, and the Snake Dribble. Each one is complete with film analysis and drill implementation breakdown.
