John Calipari: MVP Training: Basic Point Guard Skills & Drills with Derrick Rose (DVD)

Hey, this isn''t one of those Ganon Baker videos, where you stop, start, slow, start and pause in order to digest every detail. This is more like a conversation with a buddy, where the gems are forthcoming in desultory fashion. But make no mistake about it, Calipari is teaching---and teaching well. This is one of those instructional pieces that fits as a complement to the Baker type videos. I think each is made more valuable because of the other.

For me the highlights were Rod Strickland and D. Rose demonstrating. I have always wanted, and still do, to attend a Steve Nash, Kobe, D. Rose, etc. deliberate practice, where they work on a new move and its counter moves, to see the concentration, reps, and feedback systems employed. That''s what youth hoopsters need to know, it is not just hard work, but smart work also.

It was very interesting to see the stoic aspect of a D. Rose, after missing a few shots on film. He immediately goes to self-correct mode, nailing the next 4 or 5 in a row.

This video is well worth the price, but if you have watched a few Ganon Bakers prior to studying this one, it is even more of a value.

I personally, at first, didn''t want to buy this product because I thought that it would be overly hyped because Derrick Rose was on the cover. I went against my instincts though and bought it. That was possibly the best decision I''ve ever made in my life. Coach Calipari truly teaches points that truly make a difference on the basketball court. This DVD is a must have for any basketball player that wants to become better.
