Strength Training:
• 2 days a week focusing on squats, deadlifts, and plyometrics.
Flexibility Training:
• Dynamic stretching before practice, static stretching after.
Skill Development:
• Daily drills for shooting, dribbling, and defense.
Monitoring Progress:
• Bi-weekly fitness tests.
• Regular feedback sessions to adjust training.
