Fast reflex builder

It can go with out saying that whatever your sport, improved reaction time and response time a.k.a. reflex speed will be vital. Any and even the slightest improvements in this skill can have astonishing results on your game. Think about it for a moment… even if you could shoot, move, and jump like MJ you’d still be at his mercy if you didn’t have his eyes. Meaning react unexpectedly, see defenders before they move, and beat the head fakes.

Instructions

Solo Wall Bounce: Stand in front of a wall with any kind of ball that bounces. Throw and catch. Jump USA sells a “reaction” ball that looks like an odd, uneven bouncing ball that can go in any given direction. These sell for about $10. Pick one up after you’ve mastered my previous methods of bouncing!

Variations

Make this more difficult by:

Increasing your velocity.
Standing closer to the wall.
Progressing to smaller balls.
Switching catch/throw hands.
Starting facing away from the wall, throwing the ball over your shoulder then turning around at the sound of it hitting the wall.

Skills

Improved reflex action, coordination and peripheral vision.
