While the need for endurance and explosiveness in basketball are both obvious, the need for strength is not necessarily. However, strength will be foundational to your other athletic qualities, in particular speed and explosiveness. In the lower body this work will facilitate your vertical leap, while in the upper body strength and explosiveness - particularly in certain overhead positions as in a military press or pull-up - will also facilitate your rebounding skills (as well as a host of other passing, dribbling and positioning skills). Note that we will attempt to focus your training on the important basketball-oriented fitness qualities in which you are currently weakest.
