The resistance bands would give the female athletes the opportunity to get stronger and faster. This would give them a better chance to compete on the court at a high level. With the correct equipment, they could do their workout in the gym before or after practice. Right now, we are limited on what we can do in the weight room due to not having the correct equipment. Weight training is very important for athletes and it keeps their bodies from breaking down in the middle of the season. Some of my players have dreams of playing college basketball so this would be a great opportunity to introduce them to weight training.
