Customer Reviews: 5 Out of 5 Stars!
"One great thing about this video was the way Coach Miller focused on making sure the players executed the drill as well as showing how coaches can take a little time out of the drill to focus on part of the drill that needs to tighten up so that the entire drill looks better!"
"60 in 60 was a great drill that I enjoyed because of the communication emphasis and making sure players can shoot while they are tired!"
"Miller does a wonderful job of showing how to create practices that challenge and make players efficient while getting them conditioned, better decision makers and better shooters!"
