Top Basketball Training related questions

The average beginner can learn basketball in 2 months with daily practice. If you can’t train daily, have sessions at least twice a week. The sessions should last half an hour to 2 hours - this can help you master the lessons and develop your basketball skills within 3 to 4 months. This can take more or less time, depending on how well you absorb the lessons.

The qualities you should look for in a good basketball trainer are experience, patience and optimism. They should be a good motivator and experienced enough to help you make the most of your strengths. Not everyone has the same physical attributes like height or endurance, and a good trainer should take these into account and still make a good basketball player out of anyone. If you’re hiring a Tasker for your kids, they should know how to motivate and deal with them.

The best basketball training workouts are those which develop and strengthen your leg muscles for jumping and running. They should also strengthen your arms and shoulders for shooting the ball. Workouts with exercises like the Romanian deadlift, alternating dumbbell press, pull-ups and the medicine ball squat make up some of the best workouts for basketball players. Your Tasker can recommend the training workout to maximise muscle gains for your endurance, speed, flexibility and strength.

Yes. These are used to simulate the hands and body of another player trying to steal the ball. In the hands of a capable trainer, these pads can train students to be aware of how to move and position themselves. This helps prevent anyone from stealing or knocking the ball out of their hands. Training pads can help you practice dribbling and keeping the ball while blocking out other players and avoid committing an offensive foul.

Drafting a workout & drills plan

Your Tasker can design a customised plan with all the required drills, workouts, and, if necessary, a diet program to help you attain your goals. If you need to go on a strict diet to reach a certain fitness level, you can get someone to help you stick to the program. You can also take your diet regimen a step further and hire someone to help you with your meal planning.

After observing your performance, your Tasker can recommend the appropriate measures for improving your game, such as an exercise regimen, diet program and comprehensive training drills.

Practice games and assessment

Towards the end of your basketball lessons, some Taskers may have you play a practice game with other players of a similar level. This can serve as a practical assessment of how well you absorbed the lessons.

They may record your performance, then review the video with you to point out which of your basketball skills need improvement. Your Tasker can repeat this process until they think you have achieved your training objectives.
