Basketball Sports Performance

Hello Everyone!

Last week I had the privilege of seeing some of AGSP's basketball athletes in action, including CVCA's Men's Basketball. As I videotaped the win I was able to catch some of the speed and agility skills we teach.

Below you will see still shots of Bob Peters #34, Alex Punka #22, and Mike Peters #25 displaying some of the skills they worked hard on this past summer. Keep up the great work gentlemen!

All AGSP athletes will see the acceleration, lateral acceleration, maximum velocity, drop-steps and open-up steps, proper shin angles, and full hip extension. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you should come in for your complimentary session and learn how to be a better, faster athlete!

Keep Training!
