Teaching Toughness with Ed Madec

Thursday, May 26, 2011


We've just added Teaching Toughness, our newest downloadable DVD, to our download store. It is a great DVD and a must buy for any coach who coaches any level of competitive basketball. The chapters are as follows:

  1. Introduction
  2. Ed Madec on Coaching
  3. Animal Charge Drill
  4. Medicine Ball Rebounding Drill
  5. Capped Rim Transition Game
  6. Tight Space Passing Drill
  7. Window Reads Drill
  8. Team Fire Drill
  9. Conclusion
The drills will reinforce the following:

  • Physical Toughness
  • Mental Toughness
  • Competitive Environment
  • Intensity
  • An Attacking Mentality vs. Pressure
The drills have various levels and progressions. For example, drill #3 Animal Charge has 6 progressions to it so it's almost like 6 drills in one drill. The drills feature a lot of contact which will force players to be physically tough or they will not be able to complete the drills.

The DVD is a lot of fun just to watch. Filmed with Coach Madec's Fresno City College Team, there is a lot of intensity and aggressive play. Coach Madec has many teaching points during play and if player's are not aggressive or do not play in an attacking manner, they are out of the drill (like a turnover).

For $29.99, you are getting a very well done DVD with a lot of great drills that will take your team to another level in many areas. You can purchase it right now and be watching it in minutes.
