Basketball requires speed, agility, change of direction, the skills of jumping, landing, accelerating and decelerating. Let’s not forget you need to be strong, take a hit, give a hit and have great endurance to be ready for the 4th quarter. This is a lot for a player to be physically prepared for. You can have all of the skills in the world but without being prepared for the rigors of this game you may find yourself sidelined by nagging injury, poor performance or both.

I created this 12-week basketball strength & conditioning program to share my 15+ years experience helping elite basketball players prepare for the game, including 6 seasons working with NBA All-Stars and Hall of Famers as Head Strength Coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

I want you to be healthier, I want you to be stronger and I want you to be more prepared for the court than you’ve ever been so you can finally get the edge on your competition.

"Coach D is incredible to work with. Not only does he have a deep understanding of movement and strength training but his thirst for knowledge is relentless. Perhaps most importantly he cultivates a positive environment that inspired me to fight for gains every day." — Steve Nash: 8-time NBA All-Star, 2-time NBA MVP
