P-15 Workout: December 7, 2014

The P-15 Workout is an opportunity to get an extra 15 minutes of individual practice in before or after team practice. You decide if you want to do the workout everyday this week or come up with your own schedule.

This Week’s P-15 Workout: Make 100 Free Throws.

Tip: Take advantage of the 10 second count you have to shoot free throws. You should have a routine established, where as, you do the exact same thing every single time you shoot a free throw. Setting your feet. Bending your knees. Number of dribbles you take. Looking at your target before taking the shot. Lastly, following through.

How to Lose the Right Way

No one likes losing. That includes me. Unfortunately, there will come a time when you will lose. But you know what—It’s not how you fall. It’s how you GET — BACK — UP.

UConn came into this basketball season as reigning National Champions, the number 1 ranking and a long winning streak. No one expected the Husky’s to come out of the game against Stanford with a loss. But they did.

Will UConn now not three-peat as national champions? We will have to wait until April to find out. However, from the video below, we do know how UConn is responding to the early season loss.

They are working on the little things. They are working on getting better. They are working on finding a leader.
