Drills after<br />
the warm-up<br />
by Josè Vicente "Pepu"<br />
Hernandez<br />
Josè Vicente "Pepu" Hernandez started<br />
his coaching career in 1989 as assistant<br />
coach of Estudiantes Madrid. In 1994 he<br />
became head coach and led the team to<br />
eight playoff semifinals, one final of the<br />
championship and a King's Cup win (in<br />
2000). In 2005 Hernadez became head<br />
coach of the Spanish men's national<br />
team. In 2006 he won the gold medal at<br />
the <strong>FIBA</strong> World Championship in Japan<br />
and in 2007 he won the silver medal at<br />
the EuroBasket.<br />
Except for rare occasions, our daily<br />
working routine remained the same when<br />
I coached the Adecco Estudiantes team<br />
for many seasons. The following exercises<br />
that I will describe have different aims<br />
and satisfy different practices demands.<br />
1. Conditioning<br />
We work with the conditioning coach<br />
and choose specific drills that focus on<br />
running and speed, as well as duration<br />
and intensity.<br />
2. Beginning<br />
We add the second level to our own<br />
warm-up in preparation to the technical/<br />
tactical part of the practice.<br />
3. Technical Work<br />
Different working options on individual<br />
and collective fundamentals are used<br />
during the first phase of the practice.<br />
They include the following:<br />
▼ Individual Work. Drills have the primary<br />
purpose of improving individual<br />
fundamentals and giving the players<br />
the ability to select the proper options<br />

on offensive and defensive situations.<br />
▼ Collective Work. We practice the various<br />
collective options on defense<br />
and offense.<br />
All the drills we run until now are in preparation<br />
for what will be the main topic of<br />
the practice of that day (a specific offense,<br />
the fastbreak, defense, etc.).<br />
part 1<br />
In all the offensive drills, we try to emphasize<br />
passing and continuous movement<br />
without the ball. In addition, I like to<br />
add rules that make it more difficult to<br />
create the execution of the drills. This<br />
forces the players to concentrate and<br />
find creative solutions as they are taking<br />
part in the drills. This is exactly what hap
