During the weeks where there are no games the athlete may do a workout one day with heavy weights and the next day they may go a little lighter. The athlete must be sure to avoid working the same muscle groups back to back. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays they may work on lower body, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays they may work on upper body. Conditioning and cardio during this time will take place in forms such as running through plays repeatedly. This also includes fast break drills, inbounding the ball from different corners and spots on the basketball court, scrimmaging, as well as going through various types of scenarios that may take place during a competition. Outside of resistance training all other training will take place in “game like” speeds. This means that every drill, sprint, exercise will be done as if the athlete were doing it in an actual competition. How you practice/train is how you will play.
