Basketball Conditioning: Jumping Rope

"Hi there. This next pro drill is called jump roping and there's five variations that I like to do, personally, as a pro basketball player. Jumping rope gives you a great agility. Many sports use the jump rope, it just helps you with hand and eye coordination and timing. Basically, it's a great conditioning drill. So the first variation that we're going to do is regular jumping. Just get a rhythm and concentrate and mentally think about the turns of the rope, and before you know it, you're jumping rope. Here we go. That is regular jump roping. Again, hand eye coordination, timing, rhythm, it helps get your calf muscles strong, your ankles strong. Again, the timing is awesome. If you become a great jump roper then you'll have good timing on the court. Jumping rope. Pro conditioning drill."
