Key FormulaFormula
Suicide drills: 1:2 work-rest ratio.
Practice StandardStandard
3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Suicide Drill Ratio
Use a 1:2 work-to-rest ratio for suicide drills — match game intensity patterns.
Soft Landings
Land with bent knees on jump training — stiff landings destroy ACLs and ankles.
Hydrate During Breaks
Drink water every timeout and quarter break — dehydration reduces reaction time.
Safety Notes
- Wear proper ankle-support shoes to prevent sprains.
- Warm up with dynamic stretches before play.
