True readiness goes beyond reps which is why Olivia never skips her mobility routine before a workout. This ensures her body is loose, balanced, and prepared to move which sets the stage for an effective and injury-free training session. 

Before starting any workout, Olivia prioritizes her shooting warm-up, and for good reason! It’s fundamental for physical readiness, improving coordination, establishing rhythm, and reducing the risk of injury. Before heading to the 3-point line, add this to your routine. 

Shooting under pressure is what separates good from great. In this 3-Spot Streak Challenge, Olivia Olson puts your consistency to the test. You can complete this challenge with or without a shooting machine but for Dr. Dish users, it’s ready to go on the CT+, Rebel+, All-Star+, and in the Player App for Home.

To become a better scorer, you need to practice game-like situations. Olivia Olson utilizes this Lift & Drift shooting drill to simulate common offensive actions off the screen. This drill is key for improving conditioning and consistency by forcing players to create space and get shots up quickly.

A lateral bound is a crucial move to have in your bag to create immediate separation from your defender. They allow you to rapidly shift wider than your opponent, opening up new angles to attack different lines to the basket or open space for a shot or pass. Olivia focuses on lateral bounds with this simple and effective drill shooting from the elbows. 

Your core is the powerhouse for nearly every movement. It ensures balance and stability during quick changes, fuels power and explosiveness for jumping and shooting, and more. There are so many reasons to add Olivia’s 5-minute core workout to your routine!  

Before leaving the gym, Olivia follows a simple post workout routine. It’s crucial for recovery, injury prevention, and preparing for the next training session or game. Check it out below.
