Training With Coach Jon Beck
Are you tired of looking really good in your training sessions, but then getting stuck like a deer in the headlights during games? If you’re tired of dribbling through cones, shooting lay ups on air, going through an agility ladder, spot & form shooting, learning explicit moves, repeating a “technique” and doing things with a trainer that you could just do on your own and won’t ever translate to playing basketball, then it’s time to change the way you’re training.
The CLA method of player development is a non-traditional method of basketball training. It looks messy and chaotic. But that’s why it works. Games are messy and chaotic. Players can execute drills and techniques perfectly every single day, but they aren’t learning anything! Managed chaos leads to dynamic problem solving and innovative solutions. Learning is about making mistakes. It’s not perfectly organized lines and neatly prescribed drills, but CLA training will lead to measurable improvement & real player development through perception-action coupling and learning to solve a wide range of movement problems.
You can not train players in a zoo and then take them to a jungle on Sunday. It is impossible.
