►Disruptive Inovations and Ideas for Basketball Training

By Jose Romani

• It would be helpful that every team on the NBA had a graduated in physics who provide ideas based on formulas applicable to basket. For example I found the formula of conservation of momentum principle very useful in the case of a collinsion between two players:   

m1 x v1 + m2 x v2 = m1 x v'1 + m2 x v'2  being v and v' the speed of the bodies before and after the collision respectively. m1 And m2 are the masses of both players. This meaning that are a correllation between the weight of the players and their velocities before and after the collision.

For example if you want to stop (v' = 0) a player that weights double than you, you should apply aproximately the double of speed against him that the one he had. Because v'1 = v'2 = 0 and m2 = m; m1 = 2 x m and  then m1 x v1+m2 x v2 = 0 => 2 x m x v1 + m x v2=0 => v2=-2v1 this meaning that the collision with the other player must be obviously in the opposite direction and the speed of you must be doble than the other player. If you apply a movement very short but very speedy, you can stop him  although you weight much less than him and referees wouldn't advert a possible personal fault.

• Another interesting research could be having in account the difference of preassure that arise when you impress a rotation to the ball and a good velocity when you throw it. It is different if you impress a rotation to the ball backwards than fowards. If the ball rotates backwards the ball will plummet into the hoop. If the ball rotated fowards it can achieve more distance. It would be interesting to check a new way of shooting impressing a rotation foward, that is the opposite that the standar way of throwing nowadays. The same is applicable when you pass the ball to long distances.

• You must prepare the mind and the body in basketball. Some options you can do for training yourself or a team in an imaginative way are:

1. One player that play blind and the rest seeing.
2. Playing 7 players against 3 to cause difficulties to the lattest and accostum them to be deffended by several players at the same time.
3. Playing with black glasses on so the rest don't see the movement of yours eyes. You shoud have advantage repect the other players using this method.

1. Bounce with a hand on your back. This exercise is for learning individual technique. For example bouncing with the left hand. Once the players learn to bounce with the left hand it will be easier for then to use both hands indifferently.
2. Prove to play seated on a wheelchair if you have the opportunity. So you can have a different point of view of the court and the basket.
3. Training throwing to basket from the middle of the court. Your three point shooting should better after that.
