It’s been a while — a lot has happened.

The past months brought me to two very different experiences in Mexican basketball.

With Ángeles de CDMX in the CIBACOPA League, we finished the regular season as the #1 seed.
Then came a whirlwind 23-day chapter with Panteras in the LNBP, with different lessons to be learned.

I’ll share more about both experiences soon.

For now, I’m taking some time to reflect, reset, and see what the near future will bring.

It also feels like the right time to reconnect on this platform and share something useful.  I assume most of you are preparing for the upcoming season.

In my last article, I shared the story of an ACB coach who came up to me after a game and asked if all my players were left-handed.

I laughed. “Not even one.”  That detail had become so automatic in our training, I hadn’t even noticed it.

Several coaches reached out afterwards, asking how I train those kinds of finishes in practice. So in this post, I want to share a drill straight from a clinic I gave last year in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Click on the video below:

Coaches often struggle to find a middle ground between on-air 1×0 skill work and live full live 1×1, where there’s very little room left for technical corrections.

That’s exactly why I like this drill.

It strikes a balance: players are competing from the very first reps on practice. But within a structure that allows you to focus on individual technique and footwork.  It brings energy to to your warm-up without sacrificing teaching moments.

I’ll be sharing more snippets from that clinic on my socials in the upcoming days.

All drills will have one thing in commun: they make COMPETING a habit.

Talk soon!
