Episode 5 - Train the Trainer

On this episode of the No Chill Podcast, we’re back in the gym, as Gil jumps in on a skills workout. From the mentality you should have stepping on the court, to the mindset it takes to not only build on your skills, but to also translate the technique to game situations -- it’s an inside look at next level preparation. Gil is on the court breaking down the training details as you would want to learn from a player who knows how to be effective at the highest level. He also explains the approach necessary to work from being an average player to an exceptional player. It really is in the desire, the work ethic and learning from your training sessions that will translate to making in-game reactions second nature. For both players and coaches, Gil offers up teaching and learning points to make the skill work “next level” effective. As the session finishes, Gil points to the work you should put in to prepare to go against different looks, different matchups, and ways to out smart the opposition. Then, we talk to Dash about how the role of the skills trainer has been elevated. For him it’s the creativity that takes place in the lab, but that will only happen when a player is ready and willing to develop their game. As Gil points out, it also takes dedication to committing the extra hours on the court that will translate to taking your game to another level.
