It is time to start thinking about making your off-season as productive as possible. What you do this spring and summer will determine how successful you are next season. Championship programs and elite level players are built in the off-season! That is why THE BEST PLAYERS ARE IN THE BEST SHAPE!
The primary goal of Stronger Team is to provide the latest basketball specific strength & conditioning information, concepts, and drills to help coaches and players of all levels maximize their basketball potential.
This post is an update to the blog I posted last week called “Random Stuff.” I wanted to post an update because several of the launch dates of our products and programs have been delayed. I know many of you are anxiously awaiting our two specific off-season downloads:
· 12 Week Off-Season Strength & Power Program for Basketball ($39.99)
· 12 Week Off-Season Agility & Conditioning Program for Basketball ($39.99)
I sincerely apologize for the delay in releasing them. My team and I are (literally) working around the clock to get them finished! We aimed to have them ready by April 1st, but finalizing them is taking much longer than we anticipated. I give you my word we will have them ready absolutely as soon as we possibly can. And believe me… they will be well worth the wait! We will send out an announcement upon their release.
In the meantime, here are six NEW instant downloads to guide your off-season training that will be ready by the end of this week. You can purchase them at http://Shop.StrongerTeam.com:
· 8 Week ACL Injury Prevention Program for Basketball ($29.99) – a must for all female players/coaches!
· Medicine Ball Workouts for Basketball Players ($24.99)
· Vertimax Program for Basketball Players ($19.99)
· Treadmill Conditioning Program for Basketball Players ($19.99)
· Recovery and Regeneration for Basketball Players ($19.99)

Here are a few previous instant downloads that are very applicable to the off-season:

In addition to our instant downloads and DVDs, here are 5 FREE resources we have to help you this off-season:
1) “Coaching Nuggets” – many of you received the initial batches of coaching tidbits, hand-outs, and stories. Now we plan to send one new “coaching nugget” per month. To receive the April Stronger Team Coaching Nugget, you must subscribe to our email list at www.StrongerTeam.com. We are creating a new section on our website to archive all of the previous Coaching Nuggets (in case you missed them).
2) YouTube – free videos of team workouts, motivational speeches, and behind the scenes looks at the McDonalds All-American game, Jordan All-American Classic, and the Nike Skills Academies (www.YouTube.com/StrongerTeamDotCom).
3) Can He Dunk? – Want to see if I can get six high school players to dunk after 10 weeks of training? We are currently in the second week of training and are documenting everything on film. We plan to air the entire Can He Dunk? Series (5 episodes) this summer (probably in July). Start date TBA.
4) Twitter – for daily motivational quotes and insight from elite camps and events (www.Twitter.com/AlanStein).
5) 100 Exercises in 100 Days – in a few weeks I will begin to upload one video a day for one hundred straight days, creating a vast library of basketball training exercises and drills. This content will be added to the media gallery at www.StrongerTeam.com. Start date TBA.
I hope you find this info helpful and I wish you the absolute best this off-season! Please forward this email to any coach or player you think would benefit and don’t hesitate to let me know how I can be of service to you or your program.
Remember this:
“Champions do not become champions on the court. They become recognized on the court. They become champions because of their daily routine and commitment to excellence. Players do not decide their future; they decide their habits and their habits decide their future.”
Train hard. Train smart.
