Fast break layup notes Take a moment to imagine how two cars merge on the highway. One smoothly passes in front of the other, adjusting speed to match the flow of the highway. Now, if the car in front decides to decelerate, the car following him must adjust quickly. Their reaction time, if it takes too long, can cause an accident. Now, in basketball, this is a prime example of how to draw a foul on the fast break layup. Force the defending player behind you to adjust their speed and avoid running into you. You'll notice guards like Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard use this against larger defenders. As they bump into you, it takes away their jumping angles, and usually the referee will call a contact foul at this point (simply due to momentum). Hit the layup- And one. I've actually never hit this shot before, but seen it explained in coaching videos all over the place. The situation presented itself during our rec game on Monday, and I had a chance to try it out. Got the bucket, and the and one. 🏀 #CoachEroo #getbucketseveryday #getbuckets #bballislife #playforkeaps #keapathlete #operationbasketball #basketballcoach (at San Diego County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ey9D4hPiU/?igshid=nx8n7732hrlg

Flick of the wrist Bad layup angle, challenging big man. Kiss it high off the glass I usually undershoot these. 🤦‍♂️ But this one actually played out nicely Lol that wrist flick was what did it 🧐 #th3op3rator #getbucketseveryday #bballislife #bballaddiction #playforkeaps #keapathlete #KeapAthletics #getbuckets #AllYouCanShootCurry (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6CoC_XBKPm/?igshid=1t1c9z23j25ey

I know two points is two points.. (or in the case of pickup, it's one), but shoot this was an ugly make. 😱😩😲🤭🤷‍♂️ Had to make an awkward stop because my lane got cut off. Took an unexpected hop and threw the ball at the basket. Yeah coach would have taken me out if I missed it. 😝 Day after Thanksgiving, and there was a solid crew out there getting some exercise in. Did you make your health a priority? #healthisapriority #KeapAthletics #keapathlete #playforkeaps #getbucketseveryday #getbuckets #bballaddiction #operationbasketball #th3op3rator #basketballshorts (at Scripps Ranch Community Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eNMOTBXOj/?igshid=tgvr7rybzt8t

Thursday coed rec Team highlights Win vs. the Larry Bird Watchers (91-32) #vavibasketball { I imagine a system A camera tripod that can be set up at the scorers table. Trackers that are programmed to keep location of players. Camera AI that calculates statistics as you play. Click a player's name and review highlights. It also puts together a quick highlight video, using music and an algorithm. Similar to GoPro Quik. That way, you record a game, and can view stats and highlights after. No need for post processing unless you want to choose specifics. Players are identified beforehand by the number on their jersey } I usually spend 3-4 hours after my game (spread out through a few days sometimes) to do stats, game reel, and then highlights. I've gotten much faster with the hotkeys and shortcuts in #iMovie, and I've added little additional edits each time to improve. I do need another camera zoomed in on the far basket, to get better image quality. My teammates tell me I don't need to do stats and video, and I know- I don't. But it's fun to share, and there are additional hidden benefits to it ☺️, I mean I've gotten a sponsorship so far from @keapathletics and I no longer wear other basketball shorts ☺️☺️ #KEAPitforlife #PlayforKEAPs I use the statistics to teach (my company is @exclusivetutoringsd - I teach all subjects , but math is definitely my favorite), It's fun to teach mean/median/mode/range with fun questions like, "how many points does Eric have to score in order to average 200 points a game?" 🤣🤣 Instead of making up stats, I've got some real data 📉📈📊 Another benefit.. I envision myself opening a media company one day (graphic design, videography, animation). It's all a step by step process- and for now, I've simply been playing around with the videography equipment and software I've accumulated. The 🎥📸 @gopro is definitely a key component- I originally bought it for snowboarding🏂 videos, and it made its way into the other aspects of my life. ☺️🏀🏀👟👟 (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpxr2TwhCaN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19x288suzfj1t

#PlayforKEAPs Friday is the cool down day, since I work throughout the weekend and the rec courts are usually closed by the time I'm done. The attendance at the local rec gym has been quite sporadic, so I never quite know if I'll be alone for the hour, or if there will be enough for 5s. Two of my teammates had Friday off, so they met up to get some buckets with me, and played some 3 on 3 with the regulars. @francethefoodie @gumshu23 @_rayfernandez I've definitely noticed a better rhythm with the combo dribbles, and a more balanced + unrushed shot. I'm finding more confidence with my back turned to the basket, and also more fluidity on the crossover. Still plenty of work to do- how do you KEAP getting better? Ever since I received my first shipment of KEAP shorts, they've replaced all my other athletic shorts in the rotation. Comfortable and functional- the only time I'm not wearing my Keap shorts is for work 😝 dress code. Shoot, these three pairs have been rotating through the wash at least twice a week now! Keap striving for more! #KeapAthletics #KEAPitforlife #KeapAthlete @keapathletics (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7E30WgaR_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=93vwalnkmkoi
