Weight lifting with emphasis on core & balance: 3x per week (1hr) – Monday/Wednesday/Friday Basketball workout: 5x per week (1hr) – Monday through Friday
• Keep using balance and basketball as warm up
• Discipline, balance, and footwork with shot should have improved
• Time to get higher reps and shoot at higher intensity
• Still sharpening post moves and footwork in post and perimeter
• Introduce Embiid 100 (100 game shots broken down in different series). Do it for first 3
days, get an average score. Only do once per week after that, but work on all the game shots individually. Goal will be to average +15 from first scores by end of summer. (e.g. if Joel averages 62 on first 3 days, goal will be to average 77 by end of summer.
