The Dynamic Single Leg Romanian Deadlift basketball drill is an excellent way to strengthen and stabilize the ankle when coming back from injury. By standing straight on the injured leg and making sure that each step taken carries three points of contact with the ground — big toe, pinky toe, and heel — athletes are properly supporting their ankle and avoiding potential pain or further injury. Bending at the knee, engaging the glutes and core, and leaning forward while keeping both legs as straight as possible will provide a strong foundation in order to move onto basketball shooting drills. All while maintaining a neutral pelvis position, this basketball drill should be performed accurately with conscious awareness at all times in order to experience its maximum benefit without any extra strain.
