We just finished week #3 of the 4 week Crossover Skills Academy. One of the things that we do at the Crossover is film each player, break down the video and then go over the different skills with each player. We are big believers in using video to help players with their development. It is a lot more work but the payoff is huge.
One of the hardest things to do is self evaluate how you are playing. The great thing about video is it captures what you do and allows you to see yourself. And video doesn’t lie. If your crossover is slow and sloppy, the video will show it. If your elbow is flailing on your shot, you are going to see it. And if you are doing things correctly, you can see all that too.
Here’s an example of the video we take showing some ball handling, catch and shoot and coming off of screens. We meet with each player in week 4 to go over their video and make some adjustments.
