Drill of the Week: Mikan Transition Shooting

By ONE2ONE Team

An individual drill to build stamina while improving your finishing around the rim and in transition...

This week's drill is a great, quick one person workout for the summer - to help you build your stamina and finishing around the rim.

Start with a chair at each elbow, and a ball on each chair, plus another chair or cone set approximately six feet behind the three-point line. The player is under the rim with a ball in-hand.

 
The player makes 19 in the Mikan drill (alternating pivot and hook shot around the rim, no dribble).  On the 19th make, the ball gets placed down, the player sprints around the cone, collecting the ball from the chair on a "catch and shoot" rep.

We run through until we have 10 made jumpers from each chair.

We think this is a challenging, quick off-season workout!  Give it a go and let us know how you get on!


​Alternatively, if you'd like to book a ONE2ONE Basketball Coach to work you out, get in touch or you can buy our Drill Bible or Session Plans from our webstore.
