Speed For Basketball w/ Eastern Washington University's TJ Conley

August 24, 2022 • Mike Nilson • Episode 107

Episode 107: TJ Conley is the Head of Sports Performance for EWU Men's & Women's Basketball. He's a former NFL player turned strength & conditioning coach who joined me on the podcast to talk about the importance of speed in basketball.

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside TJ Conley for years at U-District PT and Gonzaga, and I don’t know if I’ve seen a coach pay more attention to detail. He is meticulous with his coaching cues and creates a motivating, high energy environment for his players to learn and train in.

With his extensive football background, I wanted to pick TJ’s brain on how he incorporates speed training with his basketball players. And so in this episode, we chat about why basketball players need speed, the best exercises and drills to use and how to avoid common mistakes that coaches make in the weight room.
