at Bostic Sports Performance

At Bostic Sports Performance, whether you’re an established NBA player looking to refine your game, a rising star aiming to elevate your performance, or a prospect looking to impress scouts, our comprehensive off-season training program is tailored to optimize your strength, skill, agility, and basketball IQ.

Program Overview

The NBA and WNBA off-season is a critical time for players to build on their strengths, address weaknesses, and enhance their performance for the next competitive season. Our program combines cutting-edge sports science, performance training, and position-specific drills to ensure athletes are at their peak when training camp begins. Through individualized coaching, advanced strength conditioning, and position-specific skill work, we prepare players to compete at the highest level.

Comprehensive Player Development

Our off-season training focuses on every aspect of a player’s performance: from skill refinement to physical conditioning, injury prevention, and mental toughness. We create customized training plans that meet the unique needs of each athlete, ensuring they leave no stone unturned in their development.

Skill Refinement & Position-Specific Training: Our program includes intense, position-specific drills tailored to enhance each athlete’s unique game. Whether you’re a point guard focusing on court vision and ball-handling, a shooting guard working on your perimeter shooting, a forward improving footwork and finishing around the basket, or a center strengthening post moves and rebounding, we provide specialized coaching to elevate your game.
- Shooting Mechanics: Focus on refining shooting form, improving three-point shooting, mid-range accuracy, and free throw consistency. We work on shot selection, movement off the ball, and getting shots off in pressure situations.
- Ball Handling: We emphasize ball security, change of direction, tight ball control, and the ability to break down defenses with effective dribbling moves. Our drills focus on improving the ability to control the ball under pressure and create offensive opportunities.
- Footwork & Defense: Effective footwork is essential for both offense and defense. Our program includes drills to improve lateral quickness, defensive positioning, and footwork for attacking the basket. We also emphasize defensive fundamentals, including on-ball defense, help defense, and close-outs.
- Finishing at the Rim: For forwards and guards, we focus on finishing through contact, improving layups, floaters, and finishes in traffic. We also work on finishing with both hands and from different angles to maximize scoring opportunities.
- Playmaking: We enhance court vision and decision-making, teaching athletes to control tempo, find the open man, and be effective in pick-and-roll situations. We also work on passing accuracy, creating space, and reading the defense.
Strength & Power Training: To succeed in the NBA & WNBA, athletes need both strength and explosive power. Our off-season training incorporates a mix of strength training, plyometrics, and Olympic lifting to build functional strength and improve explosive movements on the court.
- Strength Training: Focus on building the power necessary for finishing through contact, battling for rebounds, and defending against stronger opponents. We target the upper and lower body, focusing on compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, as well as core strength for improved stability and balance.
- Explosive Power: Plyometric exercises, such as box jumps, jump squats, and sprints, are used to improve vertical leap, lateral quickness, and overall explosiveness. This is essential for jumping higher, making explosive cuts, and beating defenders to the basket.
Agility & Quickness: NBA & WNBA players must be able to change directions quickly, accelerate and decelerate with ease, and maintain speed over long distances. We use agility drills, cone drills, and reaction-based training to enhance foot speed, lateral movement, and court coverage.
Endurance & Conditioning: To ensure NBA players can maintain a high level of intensity throughout an entire season, we integrate both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning into our training. This includes HIIT workouts, interval sprints, and long-distance conditioning, ensuring that players can last through the full 48-minute game and still perform at their best in the final minutes.

Mental Conditioning & Basketball IQ

The mental game is just as important as physical conditioning. At Bostic Sports Performance, we emphasize the development of mental toughness, focus, and a high basketball IQ to help athletes maintain composure and make smart decisions under pressure.

Mental Resilience: We work with athletes on visualization techniques, goal-setting, and positive self-talk to build mental toughness and the ability to perform under pressure. We teach players how to stay focused during slumps and bounce back from mistakes on the court.
Basketball IQ: A strong understanding of the game is critical for NBA players. We help athletes study game film, break down offensive and defensive sets, and learn to read the defense. Our program also includes situational awareness, teaching players how to react and adjust during high-pressure moments, such as end-of-game situations and clutch plays.

Injury Prevention & Recovery

In the NBA & WNBA, staying healthy is paramount. Our program includes injury prevention strategies, recovery protocols, and rehabilitation techniques to ensure players stay at their physical best.

Injury Prevention: We use a combination of prehabilitation exercises, mobility drills, and dynamic stretchingto prevent common injuries like ACL tears, ankle sprains, and shoulder injuries. We focus on building stability, improving flexibility, and strengthening the joints most vulnerable to injury.
Recovery Strategies: Recovery is key to maintaining peak performance throughout the off-season. We incorporate active recovery techniques like contrast baths, foam rolling, cryotherapy, and soft tissue therapy to promote muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and speed up the healing process.
