Hopefully we’ve all learned this by now, but you simply CANNOT train basketball players like powerlifters, or even football players.

With the unique demands of the game, all the stopping, starting, and change of direction, the need to move horizontally AND vertically, you need a broad mix of physical qualities if you want to build a powerful, explosive and resilient hooper.

And that’s why I’m so excited to have Hunter Eisenhower on the podcast today!

Hunter is the Associate Head Coach for Sports Performance at Arizona State University where he works with Men’s Basketball and Triathlon. He previously worked for the Sacramento Kings as an Assistant Performance Coach & Sport Scientist, as well as at UC Davis, Southeastern Louisiana & Minnesota State Mankato.

And today’s show is all about helping YOU build the best possible basketball player!

If the most jacked guys are the best basketball players, then we wouldn’t see the population we do in the NBA.

Force plates are in no way, shape or form new technology, but Hawkin Dynamics has brought them to the 21st century.

Hawkin Dynamics plates are wireless which makes them portable and easy to set-up and use.

You’ll have the ability to performance test your athletes in a matter of seconds, and give them immediate feedback on their strengths and weaknesses.

Their software interface is clean, intuitive and easy on the eye, so both you and your athletes can visualize what’s going on and how to improve their performance.

And last but not least, dual force plates allow you to see side-to-side asymmetries, especially in athletes who are in the return to play process.
