Building Stamina with Basketball Drills
ï‚ž Brooke Kuecker, a longtime resident and charitable
supporter of the Florence, South Dakota, community,
is currently matriculating in a bachelor’s degree
program in health sciences. Outside of her studies
and her charitable activities in Florence, Brooke
Kuecker likes to stay fit by playing basketball and
softball.
Basketball, which demands a high level of fitness
from players, is an excellent source of
cardiopulmonary exercise. In order to prepare their
teams for the physical challenges of the game,
coaches often run players through a number of
stamina-building drills during practice.
ï‚ž The suicide drill is especially popular among
basketball coaches because it involves the
same body movements used in a game
while simultaneously building endurance.
To begin a suicide drill, the coach lines up
the team on the baseline under one
basket, looking downcourt toward the
opposite basket. Players will first sprint to the
near foul line and quickly double back to
the baseline. From the baseline, players will
then sprint to half court before doubling
back to the baseline again.
ï‚ž In the third leg of the suicide drill, players
run to the far court’s free throw line and
then sprint back to the baseline, and
finally, players sprint from one end of the
court to the other. The team has now
competed one suicide drill. It is not
uncommon for a coach to run several
suicide drills in succession to truly
challenge their players.
