John Wall exploded onto the scene — literally — at the tail end of his high school career by going to some camps and tournaments and wowing scouts with his athleticism. That talent and flair for the game took him through and electric season at Kentucky and to being selected the #1 overall pick in the 2010 draft.
Wall’s game was under the microscope in his first two seasons, as any #1 pick’s performance would be, due to shaky shooting and questionable decision-making. But since returning from an injury halfway through the 2013 season, John Wall has shown marked improvement from 3 point range and his team’s performance has improved as he’s gotten better players around him. John Wall posted career bests in assists, steals and scoring in 2014.
This Signature Workout Program will focus on John Wall skills that you will transfer to your game, including:
• Attacking And Scoring In Transition
• Creating Space For And Making Midrange Jumpers
• Crossover Moves To Break Down Defenders In Isolation
• Changing Speeds With The Dribble To Keep Defender Off Balance And Guessing
*Always Remember: When you get into your games, you won’t need to have memorized anything from this program. The workouts are designed for you to absorb them into your muscle memory -- all of this Hoop Handbook becomes part of your game’s makeup through repetition. You will be using this stuff in ways you won’t ever need to plan again.
This requires two things from you.
• That you commit to putting in the work -- as much as you need, which you need to decide -- to make your skills “automatic”, in that you end up doing moves without premeditation.
• That, when game time comes, you stop thinking so much. The physical work has been done. Get into your Mental Zone -- whatever that is and however you need to get into it -- and let instinct take over
The NBA Signature Workouts are detailed, step-by-step 30-day self-training programs created in the mold of the abilities of your favorite NBA players. They include program overviews, mental visions, also detailed textual and video demonstration of each drill and skill. designed by YouTube star (and creator of putting basketball workouts/drills/skills online) Dre "DreAllDay" Baldwin.
