This book was written to help all basketball coaches, strength coaches, players and sports enthusiasts to train more functionally. 'Functional' movement preparation is efficient and effective. Efficiency is to use not just every minute, but every second of work with the right focus. On the other hand, being effective is basketball-related and is all about getting ready to perform well on the court.
The book presents a comprehensive approach to movement preparation, starting from the general or specific warm-up, over myo-fascial release and dynamic stretching to the general and specific activation. Further more, it follows the approach of 'coaching with injury reduction' and thus contains explanations about the short- and long-term benefits of working with youth and professional players.
