Zach LaVine: “Coaching from a younger age was just about like doing it professionally. I’d get pictures up earlier than follow, shoot after follow, and do a bunch of contact pictures and dribbling drills. It was clearly the identical form of stuff everyone else does, however with my dad, it was only a ton of repetition. I needed to make 500 pictures—whether or not they have been shut or distant, it didn’t matter. I needed to get 500 makes each single day.” “From a training standpoint, I didn’t do a lot of weights. He didn’t want me to get too big; he wanted me to build natural strength as I grew. I did push-ups here and there, but most of it was running, lunges, jump roping, skipping drills, leg lifts, and plyometrics. On the soccer discipline, he’d have me lunge ahead 100 yards, then do lunges backward for 80, then 60 yards. After that, I’d dash it. We’d do little hops and a bunch of different drills. My dad, man, I give him essentially the most credit score on this planet for the best way he educated me and what he gave me mentally.” -via YouTube / November 29, 2024
