Satria Muda Focuses on Sharpening Skills and Physical Conditions
Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung continues to prepare for the new season. Despite losing many of its players to the Indonesian National Basketball Team selection, Erga and his teammates are still engaging in various training programs, both skill and physical.
"The main focus of our training over the past few weeks has been to maintain the players' fitness. As we know, a few weeks after our victory in Solo, team activities stopped completely for those who weren't called up to the national team, so we really need to get them physically fit," said SM Bandung assistant coach Abdurrachman.
He also stated that the offseason is the perfect time to re-honor basketball fundamentals. These basic skills are often forgotten once the season resumes.
"Secondly, we're clearly sharpening every basic basketball movement. From dribbling to rebounding to shooting, we're honing everything so they don't lose their feel for the game. In other words, we're refueling them so that when the season starts, they'll be even more skilled players," he said.
When asked about the biggest challenge in preparing with such a limited number of players, he cited the players' psychology in combating boredom. He believes the program they'll be consuming, at least until the other players return from the national team, will be the same menu.
"It's true that this is one factor we must find a solution for together. But we, the SM coaching team, have anticipated this by not only continuously focusing on individual training but also incorporating games between the players. This way, besides relieving boredom, they can also remain competitive with each other," he concluded.
