It was an honor starting my birthday celebration by leading The Crick Pax. Bonus points to Nutter for making a special return and Cunningham for shaving for the occasion. The theme included crowdsourcing, basketball drills, and fun. Let’s see how we did.
The Thang
Warmup
Field Sprints
Took advantage of some light by the field and stretched the legs with some drills:
- High kicks
- Karaoke
- High knees
- Sprints
- Plank it out boys
Crowdsourcing
The Pax circled up and each member picked an exercise of their choice. If the Birthday Q liked it we did star jumps if the drill was disliked by the Q we did burpees:
- Star Jump total 60
- Burpee total 50
- 10 total workouts including Dan Jansens, Merkins, and 4 count squat/knee raises that I butchered into a 3 count (that resulted in some burpees!)
Basketball Drills
Free Throw Drills
In the words of Charles Barkley that was “turrible”…only by Coach D’s Duke b-ball skills did we avoid missing all and went 1/11…
- Sprints
- Long jumps
- Merkins
Circle the Court
Pax partnered up to circle the court and then defensive drills
- Partner wheelbarrows
- Crab walk
- Sprints
- Defensive slides
Backboard Touches
Everyone got a chance to show off their mad hops and we cheered on the Pax members as they sprinted down to touch the backboard…great YouTube clips
17s
Beyond free throws and dunking abilities you need some stamina so we ran the width of the court 17 times to finish off the basketball theme
