Jeff Aldham on Filling in the S&C Gaps in High School Basketball

How do we keep our young hoopers healthy?

What are they doing well in their training? And what can they improve upon?

And what do THE BEST young players do that others can’t or won’t?

If you train young athletes in any sport, you’re going to love this episode with Jeff Aldham!

Jeff is a self-proclaimed “S&C Coach trying to develop hoopers”…and while he’s not wrong, I think that’s quite the understatement.

He’s a guy that’s impacted players at every level of the game – from that fresh-faced middle school kid to the pro who is playing for Team Canada – and has had a tremendous amount of success along the way.

And today, we’re going to take a deep dive into what it really takes to keep your hoopers healthy and on the court!

We NEED variability in our training program because your sport isn’t providing you with that.
