For Basketball, my coach came up with a conditioning program. We did stretches and drills to help with our basketball skills and with our overall fitness. Some stretches we did were:
- Crunches - to improve strength in our abdomen
- Pull-ups - to strengthen our abdomen and our arms
- Wall sits - to strengthen our legs
- Bear crawl -to help strengthen our legs and arms
- Running (sprints, jogging, and horse laps) - to increase our stamina and strength in our legs
We did this program for half an hour after school three days a week for a month. Before we started, I was a slow runner and not in very good physical condition. During the program, I was very tired at first and wanted to give up and not do the exercises, then near the end, I started getting better at the program. In the end, I was stronger and felt like I could handle longer periods of exercising. I was also a faster runner and better at all of the stretches.
