Jay Wright: 28 Competitive Drills for Shooting and Footwork (DVD) $39.99 With Jay Wright,Villanova University Head Men's Basketball Coach,NCAA "Sweet 16" (2005),Philadelphia Big Five Eastern College Coach of the YearVillanova University basketball has reached a new level of excitement under Coach Jay Wright. His attention to detail and repetition allow his teams to compete with the nation's best programs. A strong believer in footwork and balance, Wright consistently incorporates these into every shooting drill as he guides you through the entire shooting progression with this on-court presentation. This DVD is packed with 28 valuable drills that show why Villanova is a dangerous offensive club every year in the powerful Big East. Using warm-up and technique drills, game drills, and free throw drills, he teaches and describes fundamentals and teaching points. Practice begins with set lifts to reinforce proper technique. "Keeping the elbow under the ball" is emphasized in the Bradley drill. The Mikan and reverse Mikan drills develops touch around the basket. A staple in the Villanova system is seen in the one- and two-step shooting sequence, which relies on proper footwork. V-cuts, rebounding, and shooting are combined in three man, two ball shooting drills. In all of the drills, a big emphasis is put on good, crisp passing. Wright believes in game-like, competitive shooting as he progresses through practice. Because confidence is the key to free throw shooting, the Wildcats work on free throw consistency throughout this video. Ultimately, game situations challenge players to build their confidence from the free throw line. During competitive drills, Wright preaches to his players to "set up quick, shoot slow". The two ball drill segment combines the screener and cutter as they build parts of motion offense into shooting drills. Four cutting options are presented after screens: Curl cut, back cut, out cut, and the straight cut. These drills increase the ability for each player to shoot from all spots on the floor, making the team balanced and difficult to defend.

Jay Wright: Attacking Footwork Drills for Perimeter Players (DVD) $39.99 With Jay Wright,Villanova University Head Men's Basketball Coach,NCAA "Sweet 16" (2005),Philadelphia Big Five Eastern College Coach of the YearJay Wright's unique ability to teach proper fundamentals and footwork is key to the national success of his Villanova program. All of his players, regardless of their position, use the skills they learn in practice to gain an edge over powerful opponents in the Big East. Wright defines four major scoring areas on the floor: wing, prime time (block), mid-post (off block), and slot (high post) positions. Because his players come from different backgrounds and systems, his ability to instill solid footwork into all his players is impressive. His motto is that ""Players must be comfortable on either foot"" so his workouts focus on pivoting on both the inside and the outside foot from both sides of the floor and why both are important. Wright demonstrates his Jab Series which creates potent scoring options from anywhere on the floor. Taught with or without the use of a screen, this series forms the bedrock for perimeter effectiveness at Villanova. A compliment to the Jab Series is the Swing Series that incorporates the reverse pivot, bully move and two-footed hop jumpers. Jay Wright's instruction will greatly enhance your team's ability to attack on offense and score more points.50 minutes. 2006. |

MODERN TENNIS - INSTRUCTIONAL DVD TRAILER
Traits Of A Good Table Tennis Player
Table Tennis is a simple and fun sport that appeals to a lot of people. A large part of it's attraction stems from it's relatively low demands on the players in a lot of areas. For one thing, the actual playing area doesn't take up much space; therefore, it can be played indoors, and can even be made part of a house's rec room with little difficulty.
For another thing, table tennis is a low impact sport that can be played by almost any one, so you don't have to be at extremes of fitness to take it, unlike high impact sports like football. These factors alone are usually sufficient to get people interested in table tennis; what gets them HOOKED on it is that fact that it's just, plain FUN. Despite it's lower physical requirements however, table tennis does place certain demands on it's players that you'll want to brush up on if you decide to take it as a hobby.
The first thing you'll need to train in for table tennis are your reflexes. Table tennis balls are small, and can travel at relatively high velocities if thwacked hard. Therefore, you'll want to train your reflexes enough to be able to intercept a small, high speed ball and not just hit it, but hit it properly so that it gets sent back at the other player instead of just deflected at an angle (at which point it might fly in your face).
Here's a simple training exercise to improve your hand eye coordination. Have someone take a stick, about a foot long and half an inch wide. Have them hold it horizontally at one end in front of them, palm facing down. Open your hand palm down over the other end, hovering about an inch above the stick. Then, let your partner release the stick. Your job is to react to their dropping the stick and catching it. You'd be surprised at the number of people who fumble this simple drill.
Aside from reflexes, you'll need strong, flexible wrists. A common mistake of new table tennis players is using the fingers and palm to adjust their grip on the paddle, making changes to the angle awkward. Once you get the paddle settled comfortably in your hand, your palm and fingers should remain fixed in that position, and a majority of the changes to the paddle's angle is made by your wrist. The best exercises to create great wrist flexibility come from a martial art called aikido. No, I'm not recommending studying it (though if you do it would help you a lot in other areas too!). Rather, you can buy a book or video on aikido basics, and these will often list the simple wrist rotation and flexibility exercises you'll need.
The next element that makes a good table tennis player is general balance and good footwork. If you can dance without falling over yourself, you should be fine. While table tennis doesn't involve nearly as much running around as other sports do, this is actually part blessing and curse. The reason is because to move from one side of the table to the other, you need to rely on smaller steps and subtle shifts in balance and weight. Because these movements are much smaller than the wider general gross movements made in other sports like running or basket ball, they can actually throw off the timing of people used to high athletic activity.
Lastly, there is a certain mental element involved in table tennis if you want to win. You have to be able to outthink your opponent, planning two or three steps ahead in the game and adjusting your shots accordingly. The best comparisons would be to fencing and chess, where the ability to feint and trap your opponent into a certain weak position spells the key to victory. In table tennis, if all you do is react to your opponent's shots, you'll lose. The simplest example would be to angle shots constantly to your opponent's left side, forcing him to backhand repeatedly, then suddenly angling a shot wide and far to his vulnerable right. This kind of thinking is what wins you games.
