27 Read & React Workouts

This 2-part workout series gives coaches the opportunity to learn directly from Rick as he takes them through two 6-week training progressions, for a total of 27 Read & React specific workouts.

In each workout, Rick explains the big picture – and – how each new drill links to that big picture. Also, he explains how the new drills link to the previous workout! We’ll then show you enough of each drill for you to get the setup, the rotation, the teaching points, and any player development skills that are relevant.

Rick’s goal in each session is to accomplish about six things at one time with your players:

Teach the Read & React – both the big picture AND the details.

Teach all of the drills that your team will be using during the season and why you do them.

Expose your players to the skill sets that they need for the Read & React.

If those skill sets are not up to par, then you need to teach those skills. Rick’s philosophy is: If we’re on the floor, we need a Player Development component to whatever it is we’re doing.

Situational training – During these sessions, you’ll see Rick show the players the situations where they APPLY those fundamental skills of player development.

Conditioning – lots of reps – confidence comes from high amounts of successful reps.
