Dribbling and Leg fatigue

[KB1992]

I started dribbling at least 90 mins/day a few weeks ago in my basement.But I always end up only dribbling around only 60 mins/day because every time I hit the 60 min mark, my legs (especially the quads) feel pretty worn out. did you guys ever experience this?

no not really but wow ur working really hard on your game,dribbilings my best thing it just came natural to me but to make my right hand as good as my left (im left handed) I only dribble the ball with my right when im just shooting around.

i usually only go for half an hour at a time with dribbling. I find there are short cuts that let you go for longer though. If you're doing behind your back lean against a wall or sit in a high chair, its not as good but it's a LOT easier for a break. also work with your body errect at time, usually you won't be, but as a PG it's actually a good skill to have. when you're given room being able to be fairly fancy while standing straight up will let you see the court better.

Either you're going all out and being worn out or you're not a well conditioned athlete, or something is wrong with your quads.

Not really actually..Try to bend your knees and stay in that position for over an hour..Ye thats what I thought..


Back on topic, I get the same worn out quads sometimes too, man. What I usually do is let the drills i can either sit or lean against something to do to the end. Also, if only one quad is hurting try to put ur weight on your other one
