FRYEBURG — Opening night for a high school basketball coach can be stressful. Preseason practices must be time used wisely. Coaches rely on their experience to plan practices in such a way as to prepare their team for as many situations as possible. Athletes out for the team have more than likely played on an outdoor sports team during the fall season, meaning they have to train their respiratory systems to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide indoors, which is a big adjustment.
Coaches have to decide how much time to spend on conditioning as part of their team’s preparation. They often count on drills that allow for basketball-specific training along with a conditioning component to utilize the time they have most effectively.
