Small-Sided Games w/ Tyler Leclerc

Episode 111: This interview is about finding better ways of having your practice time transfer to game success.  As a strength coach, I’m always thinking about how the exercises we do in the weight room impact my player’s ability to move and handle contact on the court.  Just because someone can add more weight onto a barbell, doesn’t mean  they’ve become a better basketball player.  And what today’s guest shares is that just because your ball handling or shooting has improved in a drill, it doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to do it during a game.    Tyler Leclerc is a gym owner and player development coach located in Lowell, Massachusetts. Tyler uses the constraints-led approach and small-sided games to get results that transfer for players of all ages. Today I got to pick his brain on why a games-based approach to training produces superior results and is more fun than doing traditional 1-on-0 drills.  If you’re looking for new training ideas that are based in motor learning science, you’ll love what Tyler has to share.  You can find Tyler on social media @tjltrainingInstagram  @HoopCommitmentTwitter  @HoopCommitmentFacebook  HoopCommitmentWebsite  HoopCommitment.com
