What
a fantastic teaching tool for developing skills for the serious
basketball player. Coach Saylor has put together a great individual
workout program for developing basketball skills. With the use of a 45
minute video to demonstrate the drills and a 71 minute CD that takes the
player through the workout by informing the player what to do, then the
music indicates how long the drill lasts. NBA player Brian Evans
performs the drills on the video to perfection. Saylor also includes a
10-page brochure that explains in detail, exactly how to perform each
drill, and the importance of the drill for basketball development. Log
sheets are included in the package for recording drill results.
I want my players using this teaching
tool immediately. The drills cover every aspect of the game, including:
dribbling, ball handling, fakes and moves, inside post shots, perimeter
shots.. The use of music with the drills makes the workout more
interesting for the athlete. Coach Saylor also gives the coach the
option of ordering music that their program prefers with constant
updates on music available.
Coaches, this workout is a must! The
price is great for everything that is offered. If you want a strong
program, you need your kids in the gym working hard covering many
aspects of the game - Mike Saylor's Basketball Workout will do that for
you.

I enjoy your CD Workout. I coach at
Bonita Vista High School which is a Division 1 Basketball school who has
won the San Diego CIF Basketball Title in 1999 and had 3 college
division 1 NCAA players continue on from that squad. I enjoy the fact
that they can work on the fundamentals and listen to music to get
through the workout. I also enjoy because teaching can be done.

Our
girls offensive basketball skills tremendously improved from doing
Mike's workout, they enjoyed the music tracks, and the competition that
is incorporated in the program. I highly recommend it for any coach
that wants to develop a championship level team.

and the regular season for the past two years by the Terre Haute South
Vigo High School Lady Braves who are the number one ranked girl's
basketball team in the state of Indiana and this year's INDIANA 4A HIGH
SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONS!
We have been using the
workout for about two weeks. It has helped us organize our practice
schedule and target areas for us to focus on before next season. I have
told other coaches in the area about your program and they are very
interested.

I ordered the workout and
have used it with several of my more dedicated players. I really am
impressed. When I told the players I had a new workout I wanted them to
try and that it was doing drills to music, they were a little hesitant -
sounded silly to them. But after the first ten minutes when they were
sweating and out of breath, it didn't seem so silly any more! Although
the girls have not consistently done the workout over the summer (much
to my dismay), I can tell when they HAVE been using it. I can literally
see the improvement in their play on the court when they have used the
workout even if only for a few days in a row. I find the workout to be
exceptional for my girls because most of them have not been exposed to
many of the fundamental moves required in the workout. Once they
understand the concept and the execution of the move, they incorporate
it into their game almost immediately! Our boys' junior varsity coach
came into the gym one afternoon when some of the girls were doing the
workout and he joined them. By the time it was over he was dripping with
sweat and absolutely loved the workout! He thought the fundamentals that
were taught were great! I wouldn't be surprised to find the boys' junior
varsity team working to this cd soon! The school is implementing an
athletic period for the first time this year whereby those students
playing a team sport can workout together during a class period. I plan
to use the workout cd extensively with my players this year. I think it
is a fantastic way to make the most of that limited time frame. We can
then focus on other aspects of our game during practice time. Thanks for
coming up with this - a job well done!!!

I
just wanted to thank you for your effort in organizing this workout and
diligently utilizing the skills needed in order to excel on the
offensive end of the floor.
Last year (prior to ordering your tape), we had one kid who made make
the all-district team. This past year (after ordering your tape) we had
4 of the first team and 2 on the second all district team. Our kids work
ethic during the summer and fall in addition to utilizing your workout
program made each of our kids better players. We will return all 6
all-district players next year and know our kids will become even better
offensively because of your diligence and my intelligence to purchase
your material. Thanks again.

Mike, I have started using
your workout with my players and I love it. We do the workout before we
have an open gym. The skills the kids sharpen during the workout allows
us to have better open gyms. I purchased the entire package and am very
excited about getting the players at every level of our program going on
it. Thank you for everything.

Workout is terrific ! During Pre-season and during the summer months it
is the workout that my high school team uses. I am a strong believer in
dynamic shooting opposed to stand still shooting. The benefits a player
gets from this workout is tremendous. I have two sons, a 12 year old and
a 10 year old. The did the workout each day during the summer, and the
improvements were very noticeable. I highly recommend this workout.

workouts! I want all of our players in our program to have one.

I am the coordinator for the middle
school program comprising 3 farm teams for Issaquah High School and am
the head coach of the Select 7th Grade Girls team. I also coach an elite
team in the Spring/Summer and occasionally the High School Varsity team
in off-season tournaments when the head coach cannot.
The workout has been an excellent
addition to my repertoire. The choice of music - pumping up for outside
shooting and slowing down for free-throws teaches an excellent rhythm
the girls need to learn to control. A very astute choice of music. I
have been using the CD's with several of my girls over the summer and
have started to incorporate portions into our daily team practices this
week.
Bottom line: It was an excellent set of
CDs and well worth the price. Thanks!
Ed Vertatschitsch
We are using the workout
every morning for our open gym. It is great! It makes the mornings much
more productive. I am very happy with your program. Today is the last
day of our youth camps and I will demonstrate it to all the campers.
Let's hope you get some orders from the Brazil area!

I recently ordered your
advanced workout for an eight grade player I had on this years
basketball team. This young man is a guard who is an excellent player
and extremely hard worker. Just last week after school when the gym was
empty he tried it for the first time. He loved it and so did I. He
completed the whole workout. I plan on purchasing the grade school
workout for some of my younger and less skilled players to use this
summer.
Thanks.

Mike I think the workout is
great!!! I was recently appointed Boys Varsity Basketball Coach at
Holland Patent High School in Holland Patent, N.Y.. I plan on passing
the Elementary and Junior High workouts on to the coaches in my program
at the younger levels. I feel your workout encompasses every aspect of
offensive skills necessary to make a complete offensive player. I would
recommend it highly to any coach and have told a couple of other coach's
about it. Please let me know should you ever update the program..
Thanks!

We love your workout music!!
It helped us win our county championship! Our shooting had been down all
season then I started using your system every morning before our school
started, when it came tournament time the team that had beaten us twice
by 10 pts was our opponent in the finals. One of my girls begin hitting
three's and we pulled out the upset victory of a team that had not lost
all year! Thanks for the program! I love it because it is self
motivating! The girls just love it. Thanks again, and good luck to you.

We started working out with
this video in July. The girls loved it. They were coming to the gym
everyday to try and learn the drills. They knew some of them, but many
they are still trying to perfect. This video is a great tool for
teaching players good footwork and positioning for easy and hard shots.
My girls have learned a great deal from this video and love the music
that goes with the workout. I have never seen them so enthused about
practicing. We are running the workout everyday until basketball season
begins.

I think more than anything
else, this workout will allows your players to send a sincere message to
their coach. If they take the time to do it correctly, consistently and
with the effort needed, it will validate their desire to be great. We
just got some of our players started on this program over the summer and
I am very much looking forward to the payoff come November when practice
starts. Thanks again for your great product.

Thank you Coach Saylor for
this great tool. I coach a 12 year old AAU in Utah and I am always
looking for new ways to motivate kids to work on personal skill
development outside of practice. I have found the answer in your great
workout. It is comprehensive in its approach and covers all offensive
aspects of the game. The kids love the soundtrack and it provides a
quick enough pace to produce a good sweat. Each of the boys want to get
their own copy so they can continue to improve this summer. I also have
an 18 year old son who just graduated this spring. He is an All State
point guard and has received a D-1 scholarship to play at Southern Utah
University next year. He also has benefited from his little brothers
workout. The two of them often do the workout together as a competition
and it creates a great form of sibling rivalry. Thanks again!
Kevin Baker
I originally bought the
workout for my son to use at home, but found it so useful I am using it
at all levels within our basketball program. It seems that players will
play almost anytime, anywhere, but few will actually work on their game.
This program makes working on your game by drills more fun. If you do
the drills correctly, your game is going to improve. The music keeps you
moving, and the length of each drill is enough get you tired, but not
make you tired of the drill. I also like the shooting of free throws. If
I told one of our players to shoot 300 free throws, it wouldn't happen.
But with this workout, it happens and the player improves. The video is
a real plus for younger players. They can see the correct form for each
drill. A great teaching tool. One added bonus that I did not expect when
I ordered this program. I do the workout with my son and am dog tired
when completed. Much more interesting than the usual 3 mile run, and he
thinks it is great when he makes more baskets than dad.

I coach varsity boys
basketball at Hoonah High School in Hoonah Alaska. I also coach the
Alaska Junior Men's team in the Arctic Winter Games (an northern
circumpolar games similar to the winter Olympics). I am pleased with
your workout series. It is a simple but effective concept that will give
my players structure while they are working out. The video demonstrating
the various one on one moves is a good also. A player who loves the game
will enjoy this series and benefit from it. Keep up the good work.

Since receiving the program,
I have been using it with my 12 year old daughter to test it out. She
enjoys the program, especially the music and it gives her a focused
direction when in the gym (plus she doesn't have to listen to me as
much) Thanks again.
